Health and wellbeing jobs

About the role:

Our Health Team has an exciting opportunity for a Specialist Health Lead to join us, working across our Lewisham hostels. This is a role where you’ll shape how health support is delivered day to day, making sure people experiencing homelessness can access the care they need and stay connected to it.

You’ll work directly with residents who are often facing complex and long-standing health needs, supporting them in a way that is consistent, person-centred and genuinely meaningful. From completing initial health screenings and building tailored support plans, to making referrals and encouraging engagement with services like dentistry, mental health and primary care, you’ll play a key role in helping people take steps towards better health and stability.

Alongside this, you’ll hold a caseload of clients requiring more intensive support, working with them to understand their health, manage conditions and attend appointments. You’ll build strong, trusting relationships that help people feel more confident engaging with services, while also working closely with colleagues and partners to create a more joined-up and accessible health offer. Grounded in a psychologically informed approach, this role is about more than access – it’s about helping people make lasting improvements to their health and wellbeing.

About you:

• You bring knowledge (or a strong willingness to learn) about common health needs and the barriers people experiencing homelessness face when accessing car
• You know how to build trust with clients who may feel wary of services, using approaches that genuinely engage and empowers
• You understand local health systems and can navigate them to connect clients with the right support at the right time
• You’re confident working both independently and as part of a team, with strong skills in support planning, record keeping and safeguarding
• You advocate confidently for clients and coordinate access to healthcare for people facing multiple disadvantage

About us:

We’re London’s leading homelessness charity – and we get things done.

In a city where hundreds are forced into homelessness every day, our work has never been more needed or more challenging. And we’re not shying away. We’re rolling up our sleeves to make change and helping over 10,000 Londoners every year. We prevent homelessness, provide safe places to live and give people the opportunity to rebuild their lives and transform their futures. And we never give up. 

We’re here for Londoners wherever they are on their journey. We start with trust, building relationships that help people feel safe, supported, and ready to move forward. Every day, we put people first in everything we do, challenging injustice and barriers that keep people from the safety, stability and opportunity they deserve. We stand alongside people as they rebuild and shape a future that feels their own. 

Joining Single Homeless Project means joining a team that’s bold, compassionate and determined to do better for the people we support and for each other. You’ll work alongside colleagues with lived experience, in a space that’s trans-inclusive, disability-friendly, and actively striving to be anti-oppressive and equitable. 

We’re not perfect, but we’re real. We listen. We learn. And we push forward, together. Because this isn’t just a job. It’s a chance to lead with empathy, spark change, and help build a London where no one is left behind.

It’s a rewarding welfare benefits job working with people with a cancer diagnosis. It’s one where you’ll make an immediate difference through your practical and sound advice, existing customer service skills and knowledge and experience in the welfare benefits area.

Our service user experience is key, you’ll make sure the way you work is professional and personable and quality.

Making a difference for people affected by cancer is at the heart of what we do. Our values are our guiding principles in how we go about doing that in the way we think, go about work and interact with people and across teams.

Solution solving with a collaborative and open mind, being inclusive and super supportive and team focused means you’ll fit in well. You work in a way that can adapt to dealing with curve balls and know when to ask for help all whilst keeping on top of the day to day focus on what’s important to achieve our shared goals.
