About the role:

As a Project Worker at our Stacey Street service in Islington, you’ll support adults who have experienced homelessness or rough sleeping to rebuild stability and move towards independent living. This is a hands-on role in a busy hostel environment where no two days are the same.

You’ll work directly with residents who may be navigating challenges linked to mental health, substance use, trauma or contact with the criminal justice system. Through strengths-based support planning and clear risk management, you’ll help individuals identify goals, overcome barriers and take practical steps forward. From supporting someone to engage with treatment, to sustaining a tenancy or accessing training and employment, your work will focus on realistic, sustainable progress.

Day to day, you’ll build trusted relationships whilst maintaining professional boundaries. You’ll collaborate with internal teams and external partners to coordinate the right support at the right time, ensuring residents are prepared for successful move-on. You’ll keep accurate records, respond calmly in challenging situations and contribute to a psychologically informed environment where people feel respected and motivated to change.

This role is about creating momentum. By helping residents move from crisis towards stability, you’ll play a key part in freeing up hostel spaces for others in urgent need and strengthening SHP’s mission to end homelessness for good. If you’re resilient, person-centred and motivated by seeing people take meaningful steps forward, this is your opportunity to make a tangible impact every day.

About you:

• A non-judgemental approach to working with multi-disadvantaged clients and to promote a strengths-based approach.
• Strong team-working and interpersonal skills, maintaining a collaborative approach to delivering service objectives across work specialisms.
• Experience helping people to identify personal goals and supporting them through a process of change, including managing challenging situations in relation to people, including responding calmly to crisis and deal promptly, effectively and safely to complex situations.
• Strong time management skills, ability to work on own initiative, manage competing priorities and maintain high standards.
• Willingness and ability to work on a rota system of early and late shifts, which may include some variable hours including some evenings and weekends.

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.

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 Working Well Trust

Working Well Trust is a mental health and employment charity in London. All of our projects share the aim of improving the lives of people with mental health support needs, learning disabilities and/or complex issues through training and employment.

We are recruiting a Data Administrator to provide high-quality client contact, data management and performance reporting for our Connect to Work service in Enfield borough.

This role plays a central part in ensuring the service runs smoothly and meets contractual requirements. You will act as a first point of contact for new referrals, while also leading on accurate data entry, reporting and insight to support service delivery and continuous improvement.

The role is ideal for someone who enjoys combining people-facing work with structured, detail-focused data and administrative responsibilities, and who is motivated by supporting people to move towards employment.

What you’ll be doing

If you were working with us, you would be at the heart of how our Connect to Work service demonstrates impact, quality and compliance.

You would take ownership of data management for the Enfield Connect to Work contract. That means ensuring accurate and timely data entry across multiple systems, including DWP PRaP, always in line with GDPR and contractual requirements. You would maintain high-quality client records and digital filing systems, proactively spotting and resolving data integrity issues before they become problems.

You would turn data into insight. Using the DWP dashboard, Excel tools and performance dashboards, you would collate, analyse and interpret service activity and outcomes. You would produce clear, concise KPI and performance reports for commissioners, senior managers and operational teams. Your analysis would help identify trends, risks and opportunities to improve performance and strengthen employment outcomes for participants.

You would also lead on audit preparation and ensure our reporting meets IPS and Fidelity standards. When a new CRM is introduced by the funder, you would support a smooth transition, provide feedback to developers and help embed the system within the team.

Alongside data responsibilities, you would play a key role in referrals. You would act as a first point of contact for new participants, undertaking eligibility assessments using a structured questionnaire. You would confidently and sensitively gather information relating to employment, mental health and physical health needs, and provide clear information about the service and next steps. Where risks or safeguarding concerns arise, you would escalate appropriately and in line with service protocols.

You would handle general enquiries from participants and stakeholders, signposting where Connect to Work is not the right provision. You would liaise with Local London regarding referral submissions and ensure tracking systems are up to date.

Internally, you would support frontline colleagues by providing training and guidance on data entry and performance recording requirements. You would help create simple, robust systems so advisers can focus on supporting participants into work.

In short, you would combine strong technical data skills with excellent communication and a genuine commitment to quality. Your work would ensure that our service is compliant, insightful and continuously improving.

Too often, care-experienced young people are expected to face adulthood before they are ready, without the safety nets of family, friends, and community networks that many of us take for granted.

The project provides a mentoring and befriending service, offering consistent, trusted relationships that help young people feel less alone, build confidence and life skills, and navigate key life changes as they move towards independence.

Side-by-Side supports young people with a range of needs, including those who may be at risk of exploitation, unaccompanied asylum-seeking children, and young people living with identified mental health challenges. The project is guided by strong safeguarding practice, built on trust, and delivered through trauma-informed, person-centred approaches.

As a Community Engagement Worker, you will work directly with young people through engagement sessions, group activities and co-designed initiatives. You will also work alongside volunteers, supporting them to safely and effectively engage with young people. This role does not involve acting as a young person’s key worker or holding a caseload. Instead your focus is on enabling connections, strengthening community networks and creating opportunities for young people to thrive across Hertfordshire, Luton and Bedfordshire.

About you

We are looking for a compassionate and motivated individual, to work 21 hours per week that has strong local knowledge and a commitment to community-based support. You will be confident working directly with care-experienced young people, including those who may be at risk of exploitation, unaccompanied asylum-seeking children, and young people living with identified mental health challenges.

You will live in or have strong connections to Hertfordshire, Luton, or Bedfordshire, and be confident working across these communities.

Your key responsibilities will include:

• Build community links: develop relationships with local venues, services, and partners to support young people and Side-by-Side activities.
• Support volunteers: recruit, train, and guide volunteers, helping them signpost young people to relevant services.
• Engage young people: deliver activities, gather feedback, and support co-designed initiatives to ensure young people shape the services they receive.
• Live our values: all work is guided by trust, reducing loneliness, providing practical and emotional support, and delivering person-centred approaches.

How to apply

In your application, you will need to evidence, using specific examples, how your skills and experience meet the criteria laid out in the person specification, within the job description attached.
