About the role:
For someone moving away from street homelessness, having a home can be life-changing — but keeping that home can take the right support at the right moment. TST North works with people in social housing across North, West and East London, helping them build stability, independence and confidence in their own home.
As a Tenancy Rescue Worker, you’ll step in when someone’s tenancy, safety or wellbeing is at risk. Your day-to-day work will include responding to internal referrals, visiting clients in their homes, assessing risk and need, co-producing support and safety plans, and taking practical action around issues such as arrears, debts, benefits, anti-social behaviour, safeguarding concerns, poor health, substance use, domestic abuse or social isolation.
You’ll work closely with clients, TST colleagues, housing providers, local authorities and specialist services to prevent situations from escalating and help people stay safely housed. This could mean advocating with a landlord, helping someone access health or welfare support, coordinating a multi-agency response, supporting a client to understand their tenancy rights and responsibilities, or helping rebuild trust where services have not always felt safe or reliable.
This is a new role in TST North, so you’ll also help shape how the service responds when people are at greatest risk of losing the stability they have worked hard to build. You’ll bring calm, skilled intervention, strong partnership working and a real belief that people should not be left to fall back into homelessness when the right support could help them stay safely housed.
About You:
- You know how much a stable home can change someone’s future, and you bring the skill, patience and belief needed to help people protect it.
- You’re confident working with people experiencing multiple disadvantage, using trauma-informed, strengths-based support to build trust, reduce risk and create practical next steps.
- You can respond calmly when things are escalating, making sound decisions around safeguarding, tenancy risk, arrears, wellbeing concerns or crisis situations.
- You understand the realities of tenancy sustainment, housing rights, financial pressure and partnership working — and you know how to turn that knowledge into action for clients.
- You’re reflective, collaborative and solutions-focused, with the confidence to help shape a new role and strengthen how TST supports people to stay safely housed.

About the role:
At the heart of Camden’s response to street homelessness, the Rough Sleeping Outreach & Hub Service works across streets, transport hubs and a central support hub to ensure that no one is left facing rough sleeping alone. This is an integrated, borough-wide service focused on early engagement, reducing harm and supporting people to move away from the streets towards safety, accommodation and longer-term stability.
As an Outreach Worker, you’ll be a consistent and trusted presence for people sleeping rough or at risk of rough sleeping. Working flexibly across street outreach and hub-based support on a rota basis, you’ll build meaningful relationships, carry out trauma-aware assessments and coordinate practical support that helps people take their next steps.
You’ll work within a 'No Wrong Door' approach, supporting people wherever and however they engage. That might mean meeting someone early in the morning on outreach, supporting them to access the hub later that day, or working alongside partners to remove barriers that have kept them excluded in the past.
This is a role with variety, challenge and real impact. You’ll respond to complex situations, manage risk thoughtfully, and support people through moments of crisis and change. The work can be unpredictable and includes early, late and weekend shifts as part of a 7-day rota – but you won’t be doing it alone. You’ll be supported through reflective practice, supervision and training, as part of a skilled, compassionate and determined team.
If you’re motivated by persistence, partnership and meaningful outcomes, this is a chance to grow your skills while helping others move forward with dignity and hope.
About you:
- You’re motivated by helping people move away from harm and towards stability. You understand that progress isn’t always linear, and you bring patience, persistence and empathy to your work.
- You use a trauma-informed, strengths-based approach and can stay calm and professional when situations are complex. You balance compassion with clear boundaries and use your judgement to manage risk and safeguarding effectively.
- You work well in a fast-moving environment. You can manage competing priorities, work independently in the community and keep clear, accurate records that support continuity and accountability.
- You value partnership and collaboration. You’re confident working alongside housing, health, substance use and community safety services to deliver joined-up support and meaningful outcomes.
- You’re flexible and reliable, and comfortable working across a rota that includes early and late shifts, evenings and weekends. You’re open to working both on outreach and within a hub setting, adapting to service need while keeping people at the centre of what you do.
