About us

For homeless people, or those at risk of homelessness, finding employment and housing opportunities can feel like an uphill battle, even more so if they’re affected by physical, mental health or substance misuse issues. Providence Row works with those affected by homelessness and those vulnerably housed in London, offering an integrated service of crisis support, advice and progression programmes. We ensure that people often excluded from mainstream services gain the support and opportunities they need to create a safe, healthy and sustainable life away from the streets.

Through our Reset Outreach & Referral Service (RORS), we support people in Tower Hamlets affected by drugs and alcohol. Our team takes a harm-reduction approach: meeting people where they are, reducing stigma, and helping them access treatment, health services, and wider community support.

This role is an opportunity to make a real difference—whether you bring experience from substance use services or transferable skills and a passion for supporting people.

The ideal candidate

To be considered for this role, you should be able to:

• Provide outreach and in-reach support to people affected by substance use across Tower Hamlets, including those who may have a history of rough sleeping, be vulnerably housed, or otherwise disconnected from mainstream services.

• Carry out person-centred assessments and work collaboratively with service users to develop support and recovery plans.

• Make timely and appropriate referrals to specialist services (e.g. treatment, health, housing, and social care) to ensure holistic support.

• Develop strong working relationships with partner agencies to coordinate joint support and reduce barriers to engagement.

• Promote harm reduction and recovery-focused approaches, ensuring that people are empowered in their choices.

• Maintain accurate records and contribute to monitoring and evaluation of the Reset service.

About the role:

Are you ready to take the reins of a service that is already making a difference and help shape its next chapter? The Gray’s Inn Road supported accommodation project in Camden offers 16 short-stay places for people moving away from the streets and has quickly become a vital part of our mission to make rough sleeping in London rare, brief and not repeated. Funded by the Department of Levelling Up Housing and Communities and the Greater London Authority, and delivered in partnership with One Housing Group and Camden Council, this service is still in its early years, giving the next Service Manager the chance to build on strong foundations and lead it into the future.

As Service Manager you will ensure the project continues to meet specification while remaining agile to local authority and organisational priorities. You will oversee referrals, move-on pathways and personalised support planning, making sure each resident receives tailored guidance that promotes independence. By leading and inspiring your team you will embed consistency, quality and responsiveness in everything from day-to-day keywork and coaching to group sessions and links with external agencies, while also managing outcomes, commissioning requirements and policy adherence to maintain the highest standards.

This is more than just a management role – it is a chance to shape the development of a young and ambitious service while growing your own career within SHP. The leadership you bring will strengthen our impact on the lives of Londoners experiencing homelessness and influence the way we respond to this challenge as an organisation.

About you:

• You will have proven experience in leading and directing teams effectively, ensuring a consistent, high-quality, and responsive service.
• Demonstrated capability in building and maintaining strong partnerships with key organisations and stakeholders in the sector.
• Experience of leading teams to deliver client focused support, including detailed assessments, onward referrals, and tailored interventions for individuals facing multiple disadvantages.
• Dedication to safeguarding vulnerable adults, ensuring the quality of risk management plans to reduce and manage risk, whilst creating opportunities to promote independence.
• Experience of embedding and managing continuous improvement in Health & Safety and Housing Management processes to maintain a safe and compliant environment for residents and staff.

About us:

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.

Epic at a Glance:

At Epic, we strive to build a world where children and youth - no matter their race, gender, sexual orientation or place of birth - have access to a future full of promise and opportunity. We are a global foundation backing groundbreaking non-profits around the world - the changemakers and innovators that are transforming the lives of children and youth and protecting our planet for generations to come.

Groundbreaking non-profits often fall short of smart money to drive impact. Donors want to give more, but are held back because they lack trust, time, and knowledge. Epic bridges the gap between the social entrepreneurs forging solutions to today’s pressing challenges, and the individuals and businesses who want to pool their resources to drive positive change. We curate and monitor highly-vetted portfolios of organisations that we back in order to foster lasting change. We operate strictly on a pro bono basis: 100% of donations received go directly to the organizations in our portfolio.

Now in our 10th year, we have mobilised over $91 million and supported 55 organizations in 11 countries across 4 continents, since 2015.

If you're passionate about making a difference, if you're driven by purpose, and if you're ready to be a force for good in the world, then Epic Foundation is the place for you. Join us in our quest to create a more just, equitable, and compassionate world.
