About the role:
For someone who has spent years moving between the streets, temporary accommodation and services that have not worked for them, having a home of their own can be life changing. But getting the keys is only the beginning. As our Specialist Housing First Worker in Redbridge, you’ll provide the intensive, persistent and highly personalised support people need to make that home feel safe, sustainable and genuinely theirs.
Housing First does things differently. You’ll work alongside people who have experienced repeated homelessness and multiple disadvantage, including people who may be mistrustful of services or have found traditional approaches difficult to engage with. Rather than expecting people to change before they can access housing, you’ll start from the belief that everyone has a right to a home. You’ll build relationships over time, work creatively around barriers and use active engagement and harm reduction approaches to support people towards the goals that matter to them.
Your work will stretch across housing, health, benefits, safeguarding and wider support. You’ll help people prepare for and settle into their accommodation, navigate rent and benefits, manage risks and build greater independence within their community. Just as importantly, you’ll bring together the professionals around each person, advocate firmly when systems get in the way and keep looking for another route when the obvious one has failed. This is a role that calls for sound judgement, patience and real tenacity: knowing when to challenge, when to adapt and how to remain alongside someone through setbacks as well as progress.
You’ll be joining a team committed to delivering Housing First with integrity and giving practitioners the flexibility to respond to people as individuals. You’ll have opportunities to deepen your specialist knowledge, strengthen your partnership working and advocacy skills, and develop your practice through supervision, reflective learning and training.
About you:
- You have experience supporting people who have faced homelessness and multiple disadvantage, and understand how trauma, exclusion and repeated contact with services can affect trust and engagement.
- You understand the principles of Housing First and can translate them into flexible, strengths based and genuinely person led support.
- You’re persistent, creative and solutions focused, able to stay alongside people through setbacks and find different ways forward when traditional approaches have not worked.
- You can assess and manage risk confidently, respond calmly to difficult or rapidly changing situations and use sound professional judgement while keeping safeguarding central.
- You’re a strong advocate and relationship-builder, able to negotiate, challenge appropriately and bring housing providers, statutory services and community partners together around the person you’re supporting.
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 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.

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.

About the role:
Housing First changes what is possible for people who have been shut out, moved on and let down for too long.
Single Homeless Project's (SHP’s) Camden Housing First service is expanding, and we’re looking for a passionate and skilled worker to join an innovative team supporting people with long histories of rough sleeping, multiple exclusion and co-occurring needs. This includes a new and important focus on supporting couples who have been rough sleeping and will be accommodated separately in their own self-contained flats, while receiving intensive, relational and trauma-informed support.
Based from King’s Cross, you’ll work across the community and in people’s homes, carrying a small caseload so you can offer flexible, persistent and person-centred support that is shaped around each person’s strengths, safety, needs and goals. You’ll build trust with people who may have had difficult experiences of services, working at their pace while keeping a strong focus on housing sustainment, wellbeing, risk, choice and recovery.
You won’t be doing this work alone. You’ll be part of a multidisciplinary team and will work closely with statutory services, housing partners and specialist colleagues including health, psychology, Solace, occupational therapy and perpetrator support. With safety at the heart of the work, you’ll play a key role in supporting people where relationships, trauma, exploitation, abuse or external risk may be part of their lives. At SHP, you’ll also have access to learning, reflective practice and development opportunities that help you keep growing your skills while doing meaningful, complex and life-changing work.
About you:
- You have experience supporting people facing multiple disadvantage, including homelessness, trauma, mental ill health, substance use, contact with the criminal justice system or long-term exclusion from services.
- You know how to build trust with people who may be wary of services, using patience, consistency and creativity to keep people engaged without forcing change before they are ready.
- You understand the links between severe and multiple disadvantage, VAWG, coercion, abuse, exploitation and safety, and you can respond in a way that is trauma-informed, boundaried and safeguarding-focused.
- You are a confident advocate and communicator, able to work with partners, negotiate well, challenge when needed and keep the person’s voice at the centre.
- You are organised and self-sufficient in your day-to-day work, with the written, IT and recording skills needed to manage a caseload, update systems clearly and keep support plans moving.

Commonweal is an independent charity, with a small core staff team of 9, overseen by a voluntary Board of Trustees, working to investigate, pilot and champion housing based solutions to social injustice. Using our charitable resources, we provide experts and partner organisations with the opportunity to trial and test new approaches designed to enhance housing equality and justice. Independently evaluating each of our projects we share our experiences, using this learning to inspire new thinking. Through the replication of what works and the lessons from what doesn’t, we influence changes in policy and practice. In addition, we commission other research identifying and spotlighting new areas of housing injustice.
Commonweal owns a small portfolio of properties that are leased to our project partners – charities, housing and support organisations delivering services to people experiencing housing injustice. This role will be central to ensuring that we fulfil our responsibilities as a property owner and that our partners and managing agents meet their property and compliance obligations.
You will maintain oversight of key property compliance requirements, ensuring certificates, inspections and other documentation are in place and up to date, proactively following up outstanding actions and escalating issues where necessary. Working closely with our managing agents, retained surveyor, contractors and project partners, you will help ensure we have an accurate and up-to-date picture of our properties, including repairs and planned works, void properties and those being prepared for occupation.
Commonweal also periodically buys and sells properties as new projects begin and others come to an end. You will provide administrative coordination for these processes, liaising with estate agents, solicitors and other professional advisers and helping to keep actions and deadlines on track.
Alongside our property portfolio, the Office & Property Compliance Administrator will coordinate and deliver the core administration that underpins Commonweal's work. This varied role brings together governance and Board administration, property and compliance coordination, and oversight of our office systems and environment.
You will:
- Manage the compliance administration of our property portfolio, maintaining accurate records of compliance requirements, certificates, inspections, key dates and associated documentation.
- Proactively monitor outstanding property actions, repairs and works, liaising with managing agents, our surveyor, contractors and project partners to obtain updates, follow up overdue actions and escalate concerns where necessary.
- Maintain accurate and up-to-date information on the status of our properties, including voids, outstanding works and readiness for occupation, providing reliable information for operational and Board reporting.
- Provide administrative coordination for property acquisitions and disposals, liaising with estate agents, solicitors and other professional advisers and tracking actions through to completion.
- Provide high-quality governance support to our Board of Trustees, including scheduling meetings, collating agendas and papers, circulating Board packs and taking accurate minutes.
- Oversee the smooth running of our office, including IT and supplier contracts and health & safety administration.
- Act as a first point of contact for general enquiries and provide reliable administrative support to the CEO, DCEO and wider team.
We are looking for someone with:
- Strong organisational and time-management skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities and deadlines.
- Experience of supporting Boards or committees, including minute-taking.
- Experience of property, housing, lettings or compliance administration, or demonstrable experience of managing detailed records, actions and deadlines within another regulated environment.
- Excellent attention to detail and a commitment to maintaining accurate and reliable information.
- A proactive approach – someone who is comfortable following up outstanding actions, chasing information and identifying when something needs attention or escalation.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Confidence working with suppliers, contractors and other external organisations.
- A collaborative and professional style and the ability to work effectively as part of a small team.
Previous knowledge of property compliance requirements would be an advantage, but we are equally interested in candidates with strong transferable administrative and coordination skills and the ability to develop their property knowledge.
This is a varied and important role at the heart of Commonweal, helping to ensure that our properties, governance and organisational systems are well managed, accurate and compliant, and that colleagues and Trustees have the reliable information they need.
