About the role:

At Single Homeless Project (SHP), we believe that everyone deserves a place to call home - and the support to make it truly theirs. As a Caseworker in our Tenancy Sustainment Team, you’ll do so much more than help people keep a roof over their heads. You’ll be part of someone’s journey toward stability, growth, and renewed confidence. Whether welcoming someone at the start of their support journey, walking alongside them as they navigate life’s challenges, or supporting them to move on to greater independence, your work will have a lasting impact.

This is a role that develops you as much as it empowers others. Every day brings new opportunities to build trusting relationships, use your creativity to solve real-world problems, and collaborate with a committed team that is shaping the future of housing support across London. You’ll deliver one-to-one, person-led support that enables people to maintain their tenancies, improve their wellbeing, build financial resilience, and engage fully in their communities. Alongside your clients, you’ll draw on a wide network of Single Homeless Project (SHP) and community services to help turn personal goals into meaningful outcomes.

Join us, and you’ll be part of an ambitious, values-led organisation where you’ll grow your skills, stretch your potential, and see the tangible difference your work makes - every single day. Whether you’re just starting out or ready for your next challenge, this is more than a job - it’s a career with purpose.

Caseworker posts are for Mondays - Fridays, 9am to 5pm. Posts involve hybrid work with opportunities to work from home at times. The role includes hybrid working and is based at our office in Kings Cross. There are opportunities to work from home at times.

About you:

• You’re a confident collaborator who builds strong working relationships with colleagues and partner agencies to get the best outcomes for clients.
• You’re organised, proactive and able to balance competing priorities, staying calm and focused when things get busy.
• You know how to help people build greater independence, from strengthening day-to-day living skills to improving financial stability and tackling income, bills, debts or arrears.
• You take a genuinely person-centred approach, listening to what matters to each client, recognising their strengths and aspirations, and shaping support around their individual needs.
• You understand the challenges people experiencing homelessness can face, including navigating housing pathways, and you’re committed to delivering inclusive, respectful support that promotes choice and opportunity.

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.

Could you help SoundCafe grow?

SoundCafe Leicester is a small, friendly and ambitious charity which gives people who are homeless, vulnerable or socially isolated a regular opportunity to sing, be creative, meet people and feel part of a community.

Our weekly sessions make a real difference to the people who attend. In 2024 we were honoured to receive the King’s Award for Voluntary Service.

We are now looking for a Part-Time Manager to help us build on that success. 

What will you do?

Working with our trustees, volunteers and partner organisations, you will help SoundCafe to:

● manage and develop our weekly creative cafe;

● support and encourage our volunteers;

● build relationships with partner organisations and funders;

● identify funding opportunities and contribute to grant applications;

● help develop SoundCafe;

● liase with, and support, the professional musician who leads our choir

● ensure our activities are well organised, inclusive and responsive to the people we support; and

● keep the trustees informed and involved

It is a varied role, with plenty of opportunity to use your existing skills and to develop new ones.

What are we looking for?

We are looking for someone who is organised, approachable, capable and committed to making things happen.

You will need good communication and interpersonal skills, the ability to work independently, and experience of managing people, projects, activities or services.

Most importantly, you will need to care about what SoundCafe is trying to achieve and be comfortable working with people from a wide range of backgrounds.

You don’t need to have done everything before; just have a foundation we can work together and build on.

Experience of the charity or voluntary sector, working with vulnerable adults, volunteer management, fundraising or grant applications would be useful, but these are desirable rather than essential.

Support to develop

We know that the right person may not be the finished article.

You will be supported by an experienced and approachable Board of Trustees, with expertise including HR, employment law, finance and governance. We can provide guidance and mentoring where appropriate and help you develop your knowledge and responsibilities as you grow into the role.

What matters most to us is your ability, judgement, enthusiasm and potential.

Why join SoundCafe?

This is a rewarding position combining ’hands-on’ where you are immersed in the activities, with an important managerial role in a small charity where you can see the difference your work makes.

You will have the flexibility to shape the role around your strengths, work closely with trustees and volunteers, and help determine the next chapter of a charity which has already achieved a great deal.

If you think you could make a difference, we’d like to hear from you.

The post is approximately 50% in Leicester and the balance working from home, subject to operational requirements.

We think it’s important that you get a good understanding of our very special charity meet those who attend, see the range of activities, and hear our choir, so shortlisted candidates will be invited to attend a Session on either the 5th or 12th October interviews will be held on the afternoon of the 12th October.

Please send your CV (no longer than four pages, please) and a short covering letter explaining why SoundCafe interests you and what you could bring to the role.

We are pleased to be growing this team to help strengthen our ability to secure outcomes with clients. The overall purpose of this role is to work with a caseload of clients and find suitable career and learning opportunities for them and support them to find appropriate employment.

We predominantly work with clients who have limited or no work experience in the UK, or who have had extended gaps in their CV due to family commitments. We are therefore developing programmes that help develop confidence, skills, qualifications, and opportunities for our clients to help them progress into careers. The postholder will have the opportunity to contribute to the development and delivery of these, alongside their 1-2-1 casework.

In your cv and cover letter please outline how you meet the requirements of the role and provide an example of how you supported someone into a career or employment and the process you used to achieve this. We would also like to hear why you are interested in working for us. You must account for any gaps in your employment history.

The Centre is an equal opportunities employer.  We are always looking for talented people from all backgrounds to join us and help improve the lives of homeless young people, insecurely housed families and their children.  We particularly want to encourage people from under-represented groups in the not-for-profit sector to step forward and apply to work with us. We require our staff to recognise the valuable role that volunteers play in the work of the Centre and to welcome and support volunteers with whom they work.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. We require job applicants, staff and volunteers to complete a criminal records self-declaration and undertake a basic DBS check.

Applicants must have the right to work in the UK. We are unable to sponsor visas.
 

About the role:

For women facing multiple disadvantage, the right support can be the difference between remaining trapped by systems and beginning to rebuild safety, choice and control. As our Specialist Multiple Disadvantage Worker at Grace House, you’ll provide skilled, persistent and compassionate support to women whose experiences may include homelessness, domestic abuse, trauma, substance use, poor mental health and contact with the criminal justice system.

Using a gender and trauma-informed approach, you’ll build trusting relationships and work alongside women at their own pace. You’ll manage complex casework, advocate firmly on their behalf and help navigate services and systems that can often feel fragmented or difficult to access. You’ll use creativity, professional judgement and tenacity to challenge barriers and help women move forward on their own terms.

You’ll also bring your expertise into multi-agency discussions, ensuring women’s voices, experiences and priorities remain central to the decisions made about their support. Working closely with colleagues and external partners, you’ll help shape responsive, coordinated support and contribute to the continued development of practice across Grace House.

This is an opportunity to deepen your specialist skills, take real ownership of your work and make a visible difference in women’s lives. You’ll be supported by an experienced team, reflective practice and ongoing learning and development at Single Homeless Project (SHP), giving you the tools and confidence to grow while delivering support that genuinely changes lives.

*For genuine occupational requirement reasons, we are seeking applications from women only for this post (exemption under the Equality Act 2010; Schedule 9 Part 1). 

About you:

• You know how to build trust with women who may have been let down by services before, working with patience, honesty and consistency.
• You bring strong experience of supporting women facing multiple disadvantage and understand how trauma, abuse, homelessness, poor mental health and substance use can overlap.
• You stay calm when situations are complex, using sound judgement to assess risk, make decisions and keep support moving forward.
• You are a determined advocate who will challenge barriers, bring partners together and keep pushing when systems are not responding.
• You are reflective, curious and ready to deepen your specialist practice, with support, supervision and development opportunities at SHP.

sleeping, or going through important stages in housing and recovery. The main purpose
