POhWER is committed to equality, diversity, and inclusion. We encourage applications from all backgrounds, cultures, and abilities, and particularly welcome candidates from groups currently underrepresented in our workforce. Our goal is to foster an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and empowered to contribute. This includes, but is not limited to, people with disabilities, women, men, Black, Asian and other racially minoritised people, LGBTQ+ who are currently under-represented in our workforce.

Are you eager to make a difference in health and care but don’t know how to get started? Do you want to learn how policy is made, how senior leaders are influenced, and how research drives change?
We’re looking for a Policy and Research Intern to join our Policy and Influence team for nine months. This is a unique chance to take your first step on the policy career ladder – no prior policy experience required.
In this role, you’ll be right at the centre of our work with senior nursing and midwifery leaders. Yes, you’ll support the team with essential admin and communications, but this internship is about so much more than that. You’ll help deliver high-profile events like webinars and roundtables, track and report on member benefits, and contribute to live policy and research projects that shape the future of the NHS and wider system.
We don’t expect you to arrive knowing it all. What matters is your enthusiasm for FNF’s mission, your willingness to learn, and your drive to get stuck in. In return, you’ll gain hands-on experience, work alongside senior stakeholders, and build the skills and confidence to take the next step in your career.
What we’re looking for:
- A genuine interest in health policy and influencing
- Strong organisational and communication skills
- Someone proactive, flexible, and ready to muck in
- A team player who wants to learn and grow
- Demonstrable evidence of how you have lived FNF’s values
This is a nine-month paid internship (at the National Living Wage), with plenty of flexibility and hybrid working. You can join us part-time (three days a week) or full-time — whichever works best for you.
If you’re ready to roll up your sleeves, learn by doing, and kick start your career in health policy and influencing, we’d love to hear from you. You’ll be part of a dynamic, ambitious team that’s making a real difference — and excited to have you on the journey with us.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.

About the role:
At Single Homeless Project (SHP), we believe lasting change is possible, and as a Project Worker in our Services in Camden, you will be at the heart of making that change happen. You will work closely with people facing multiple challenges – from mental and physical health issues to substance use, histories of trauma and offending behaviour – offering the kind of personalised, holistic support that helps them take control of their futures. Grounded in a Biopsychosocial model and a Psychologically Informed Environment, you will create safe, supportive spaces where recovery, resilience and new possibilities can take root.
No two days in this role are the same. You might be developing tailored support plans, facilitating group activities, or building the skills and confidence that enable clients to strengthen relationships, expand their social networks and take steps towards independence. You will champion harm minimisation and recovery, while also working alongside a range of professionals to ensure that care is truly integrated and responsive to each individual. Every interaction offers the chance to influence positive change, not only for the clients you support but for the wider communities they are part of.
Joining SHP is more than just taking on a role – it’s stepping into a career where your growth is as important as the progress you help others achieve. We are committed to developing our staff, equipping you with the skills and opportunities to advance while making a meaningful impact on the lives of Londoners experiencing homelessness. Here, your commitment and resilience will not only shape futures but also strengthen an organisation that is determined to end homelessness for good.
About you:
- You have experience supporting people facing multiple challenges, such as substance use, mental health issues, trauma, or offending histories.
- You can carry out assessments, create support plans and manage a caseload in a way that is tailored to each individual.
- You understand the barriers that can prevent people from moving towards independence and have the skills to help them overcome these.
- You stay calm and effective in a crisis, with the confidence to respond to difficult situations safely and constructively.
- You believe in people’s strengths and potential, and ideally have experience working within a Psychologically Informed Environment.
- You are organised, able to manage your time well and can balance independent working with being a supportive team member.
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. From supporting people in crisis to helping people take the final steps towards independence and employment, we make a difference to 12,000 lives every year across all 32 boroughs.
We offer you more than a job; we offer you a chance to be part of a compassionate, driven team that's committed to making a real difference in people's lives. You'll have the opportunity to lead, co-create, and inspire change while enjoying a collaborative, growth-oriented environment.
Join us in creating a brighter, more hopeful future for individuals in need.
If you are passionate about supporting people with complex needs and want to work for a charity that’s leading the way in homelessness prevention, apply today!
