About the role:
If you are driven by the belief that everyone deserves the chance to rebuild their life, this is your opportunity to play a pivotal role in transforming that belief into reality. We are looking for an Assertive Outreach Worker to join us (on an up to 12 months maternity cover), stepping into a position that blends leadership, creativity and direct impact. In this role, you will hold a caseload of 15 clients across Westminster and temporary accommodation sites in boroughs across London, working as part of a close-knit, specialist team alongside four other Assertive Outreach Workers, a manager and a psychologist. Together, you will operate within psychologically and trauma-informed approaches, ensuring every interaction is purposeful, respectful and geared towards helping our clients take the next steps in their journey.
Your day will be as varied as it is rewarding - guiding clients to sustain their tenancies, improve their physical and mental wellbeing, engage with substance use support services, and access routes into employment. You will cultivate strong partnerships with local agencies, from statutory services to specialist providers, ensuring no opportunity for progress is missed. You will also play a crucial role in assessing needs, identifying risks and maintaining accurate, meaningful records that help shape the support we provide. This is not just a chance to change lives on an individual level, but to be part of a national project pioneering new techniques to improve outcomes for people facing complex challenges around substance use.
At Single Homeless Project (SHP), we believe that our people grow as our impact grows. This role will immerse you in innovative practice, expose you to expert collaboration, and offer opportunities to develop your skills and experience in ways that can shape your career for years to come. The work you do here will ripple far beyond the people you directly support - strengthening communities, influencing practice across the sector, and helping to build a London where homelessness is not a barrier to a better future.
*For genuine occupational requirement reasons, we are seeking male applicants only for this post (exemption under the Equality Act 2010; Schedule 9 Part 1).
About you:
- Understanding and experience of working with the issues faced by people who experience mental ill health, substance use issues, and who have offending histories, in accessing the appropriate support from services.
- A working knowledge of best practice to support individuals who may be classified as ‘experiencing multiple disadvantage’ including Trauma Informed Approaches.
- Experience working as part of a multi-agency partnership to address complex problems and bring about positive change.
- Familiarity with relevant housing, health and social justice legislation, policy and best practice relevant to systems change and people with multiple needs.
- A good and current understanding of safeguarding issues and procedures.
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.

Marie Curie is the UK’s leading end-of-life charity. We are the largest non-NHS provider of end-of-life care in the UK, the only provider across all 4 nations, delivering community nursing and hospice care across the country, while providing information and support on all aspects of dying, death, and bereavement.
