Job description

About the role:

For a young person who has experienced homelessness, care, uncertainty or trauma, night-time can feel like the hardest part of the day. As a Night Support Assistant in our Camden Young People’s Service, you will be part of the steady, trusted presence that helps young people feel safe, seen and supported when they need it most.

You’ll work in our supported accommodation service for young people aged 16 and over, helping to create a calm, nurturing and secure environment through the night. Day to day, this will include completing welfare checks, responding to incidents or emergencies, monitoring building safety, recording and handing over key information, supporting young people who may be distressed or struggling, and helping make sure the service runs smoothly until the day team arrive.

This is more than keeping a building open overnight. It’s about building meaningful, boundaried relationships with young people, responding with warmth and confidence, and knowing when to act, when to listen and when to escalate. You’ll be supported with training, guidance and opportunities to grow your skills, whether you’re building your confidence in youth support, developing your understanding of trauma-informed practice, or looking to take your next step in supported housing. Working closely with the wider team, you’ll help make sure our service remains a safe foundation for young people as they move towards independence, confidence and a future shaped by their own goals.

Rolling Rota pattern (subject to change according to business need)

Week 1 40 hrs: Mon, Tues, Sat, Sun: 10pm-8.30 am

Week 2 30 hrs: Wed, Thur, Fri: 10pm-8.30 am

About you:

  • You have experience supporting young people or young adults facing homelessness, risk, trauma or multiple disadvantage, ideally within accommodation or frontline support settings.
  • You’re confident working awake night shifts and helping to keep the service safe, calm and welcoming overnight.
  • You’re able to respond calmly to challenging behaviour, safeguarding concerns or incidents, adapting your approach to the needs of each young person.
  • You’re comfortable keeping accurate records, using basic IT systems and working with numerical information as part of safe service delivery.
  • You bring a reliable, resilient and thoughtful approach, with the flexibility to work a night rota that includes weekends and bank holidays.

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.
