About the role:

This is your chance to begin a career that changes lives – starting with your own. At Single Homeless Project (SHP), we believe in developing new talent and giving you everything you need to thrive in the homelessness sector. As a Trainee Project Worker or Trainee Floating Support Worker, you will be part of a mission that helps people across London – in Westminster, Lewisham, Camden and Islington – move from crisis to stability and towards a life they can truly enjoy. From day one, you will be supported by experienced colleagues and immersed in a training programme designed to give you the skills, confidence and knowledge to succeed.

In our supported accommodation services, you will work directly with residents, building trust, encouraging progress and providing the practical support that makes independence possible. As a Trainee Floating Support Worker, you will travel across London to meet clients in their homes and communities, tackling housing issues, supporting health and wellbeing, and helping them achieve personal goals. The work is varied, fast-paced and deeply rewarding, with every shift – whether early mornings, late evenings, weekends or bank holidays – bringing the chance to see real change happen.

With SHP, you are never on your own. You will learn from some of the most dedicated and knowledgeable people in the sector, gaining expertise in areas from housing and benefits to mental health and recovery approaches. You will see first-hand the impact of your work, from someone securing stable housing to taking their first steps into training or employment. As you progress through the Trainee Programme, your salary will increase at six and nine months, reflecting your growth and achievements. This is more than just the start of a career – it is the beginning of a journey where your skills, passion and commitment will transform the lives of homeless Londoners, while opening up a future of endless possibilities for you.

About you:

You do not need to have previous or formal experience working in the homelessness sector or in a support role. We are seeking people with transferable skills and experience gained from a varied background, who will demonstrate a commitment and passion for the work that we do. You will be ready to learn on the job and we will support you to develop your own learning and practice through a structured programme and teamwork.

We are looking for people who are creative thinkers, that are committed and motivated in inspiring our clients into leading successful lives.  In return, we will provide you with a comprehensive and engaging Trainee Programme. Involving ongoing support, trainee specific workshops and plenty of opportunity to learn on the job through formal training, reflective practice, service visits and working with experienced colleagues. The traineeship period will run up to 9 months with a possibility for a fast track at 6 months.  

About us:

Single Homeless Project is a London-wide charity. Our vision is of a society where everyone has a place to call home and the chance to live a fulfilling life.

We help single Londoners by preventing homelessness, providing support and accommodation, promoting wellbeing, enhancing opportunity, and being a voice for change.
