About the role:
A safe, well maintained room can be the foundation someone needs to begin rebuilding their life. As a Maintenance Operative, you’ll make sure our supported accommodation across London provides the safe, dignified and welcoming environment every client deserves.
This is a hands on, multi skilled maintenance role focused on minor repairs and property improvements rather than specialist or technically qualified trade work. Travelling between different services across London, you’ll complete jobs such as painting and decorating, repairing walls and fixtures, basic carpentry, minor plumbing, tiling and preparing empty rooms so they can be offered safely and quickly to someone who needs a home.
You’ll plan and manage a varied workload, respond to urgent health and safety concerns and identify problems before they become more serious. You’ll also inspect rooms and communal areas, record completed work clearly, arrange materials and flag any repairs that need to be passed to a qualified contractor. At times, you may check completed contractor work and provide feedback where standards have not been met.
Our accommodation is home to people who have experienced homelessness, mental ill health and other forms of multiple disadvantage. Some services are larger, hostel-style buildings, while others are smaller residential properties. You’ll often be working in occupied environments and may meet clients while completing repairs, so you’ll need to be comfortable working respectfully around people who may be distressed or experiencing a difficult time. You won’t be expected to provide support or manage challenging situations alone, and service colleagues will be available to help.
You’ll join a growing Maintenance Team that shares knowledge, works collaboratively and takes pride in getting the details right. With plenty of variety and autonomy, this is an opportunity to develop your practical skills while seeing the direct difference your work makes to the buildings we manage and the people who call them home.
About you:
- You have practical experience completing minor repairs, including painting and decorating, basic plumbing, carpentry and tiling.
- You can work safely and independently, while recognising when a specialist contractor is needed.
- You’re organised, reliable and able to manage jobs across multiple sites.
- You’re comfortable working respectfully in occupied supported accommodation where clients may be present.
- You take pride in delivering good-quality work that helps create safe and dignified homes.
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 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.

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.

About the role
RAID has 4 main advice areas: Information Navigation, Benefits Advice, Energy Advice and Money Advice. The Cost of Living Crisis has disproportionally impacted Disabled people, who are more likely to face higher living costs, barriers to employment and reduced financial resilience, making it harder to cope with rising household expenses. Many of the people we see are in challenging situations; struggling with debt, experiencing food and fuel poverty, facing homeless and dealing with loneliness and isolation. The work can be emotionally challenging.
The Money Advisor will provide high-quality, accessible and person-centred money advice to Disabled people and people with long-term health conditions, supporting them to understand their financial situation, maximise their income, manage financial pressures and exercise their rights.
The Money Advisor will be required to undertake training to again gain accreditation from the Money and Pensions Service (MaPS), as part of their Quality Framework for Individuals, and will be expected to retain this qualification through continual professional development. Free training will be provided through the Wiser Adviser platform.
The Money Advisor will provide practical advice and support on a range of financial issues, budgeting, debt, household costs and financial inclusion. You will work closely with our Welfare Benefits team and undertake casework yourself as required to resolve issues. The role will recognise the barriers created by social, economic and environmental factors and work alongside people to identify solutions that increase financial security, choice and independence.
The postholder will work within RAID's rights-based and Social Model of Disability approach, ensuring that Disabled people are listened to, treated with dignity and supported to make informed decisions about their lives.
About You
You are a knowledgeable, approachable and compassionate adviser who is passionate about helping Disabled people improve their financial security and exercise their rights.
You will have experience of providing money, welfare benefits or related advice and be confident supporting people to navigate what can sometimes be complex financial and benefits systems. You will be able to explain information clearly and in an accessible way, helping people understand their options and make informed decisions.
You will take a person-centred and rights-based approach, recognising that Disabled people can experience significant financial barriers, including additional costs associated with disability, inaccessible services, discrimination and barriers to employment and income. You will understand the importance of listening to people and working alongside them rather than making assumptions about what they need.
You will be comfortable supporting people with a range of circumstances and levels of support needs. You will be patient, non-judgemental and able to build trust with people who may have had difficult experiences when accessing services.
You will be organised and able to manage your own caseload, prioritise effectively and maintain accurate records. You will also enjoy working collaboratively with colleagues and external organisations to find practical solutions and achieve positive outcomes for the people we support.
You do not need to be an accredited money advisor to apply but you must successfully complete the required training and be able to demonstrate an interest and aptitude for money advice.
To apply
To apply for this role, please send your CV and a covering letter of up to 2 sides of A4 stating how you meet the Essential and Desirable criteria in Experience and Knowledge section of the Job description.

ABOUT THE ROLE
Elliot Leigh Supported Living provides semi-independent supported accommodation across East and North-East London for young adults aged 18–25 who are leaving the care system. Our residents are at a pivotal moment in their lives — transitioning from care into adulthood — and they need more than just a roof over their heads.
As a Support Worker you will hold a caseload of around 10–12 residents, walking alongside each of them through that transition: managing a tenancy, navigating employment, handling money, and knowing that someone is in their corner. You will work from our East London office and visit residents in their homes, all within a manageable travel radius — this is a Monday-to-Friday daytime role, not a shift or rota post.
This is not a passive role. It demands energy, creativity and a genuine commitment to working in partnership with young adults who have often experienced significant trauma, instability and disappointment. But it also offers something rare: the chance to be the person who helps someone turn their life around.
PAY, HOURS AND BENEFITS
✓ £32,000 salary for candidates with 12 months’ relevant experience and a Level 3 qualification. Have the experience but not the Level 3? Start on £27,000, we fund the qualification, and you move to £32,000 on completion.
✓ Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm — flexible start and finish times will be considered; no evenings, weekends or bank holidays
✓ 25 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays, rising to 30 days in line with length of service
✓ 4% employer pension contribution
✓ Enhanced DBS and Update Service subscription funded by us *subject to qualifying criteria
✓ Funded Level 3 Diploma in Health & Social Care or Housing, with paid study time, if you don’t already hold one
✓ A clear career ladder: Support Worker → Senior Support Worker → Team Leader, with published pay points
✓ Employee Assistance Programme with 24/7 confidential support
✓ Monthly supervision and reflective practice sessions, plus a structured four-week induction
✓ A small, inclusive team where your voice shapes how we work
✓ A company dedicated to the continuous professional development of its team members
WHAT YOU’LL DO
• Support residents to develop and sustain independent living skills — budgeting, cooking, cleaning, tenancy management
• Deliver structured keywork sessions and co-produce individual support plans with each resident
• Help residents into education, employment and training — CV writing, job applications, college enrolment
• Keep accurate, timely records on our digital case management system — keywork notes, risk assessments, support plans
• Liaise with local authority leaving care teams, social workers, personal advisers and other professionals
• Support residents to manage their mental health, wellbeing and personal challenges in a trauma-informed way
• Accompany residents to appointments with external agencies — GP, Job Centre, local authority
• Respond calmly and professionally to conflict, emotional distress or challenging behaviour
• Work with the wider team to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all residents
• Contribute to team meetings, supervision and your own continuing professional development
WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR
Essential:
• At least 12 months’ relevant experience supporting young people or young adults in a care, supported housing, youth work or semi-independent living setting
• A genuine understanding of the challenges care leavers face in the move to independent living
• Working knowledge of safeguarding and trauma-informed practice
• Strong written and verbal communication — you will produce keywork records, risk assessments and support plans to a professional standard
• Confident IT skills and the ability to use a digital case management system
• Enhanced DBS (Adults Workforce) on the Update Service, or willingness to apply; current safeguarding certificate, or willingness to complete on appointment
• Right to work in the UK
For the £32,000 rate:
• Level 3 (or above) in Health & Social Care, Housing or a related discipline, alongside the 12 months’ experience above
Desirable:
• Experience supporting young adults into education, employment or training
• Knowledge of the Children (Leaving Care) Act 2000, Care Act 2014 and Pathway Planning
• Experience with complex needs, mental health or substance use
Not quite one year’s experience yet? Ask about our Trainee Support Worker route: a 12–18 month funded Level 3 apprenticeship on £27,000, with a guaranteed move to the Support Worker scale on completion.
WHAT MAKES A GREAT ELSL SUPPORT WORKER
• Treats every young adult as a capable individual — not a case to be managed
• Understands that independence is built gradually, and shows up with patience and consistency
• Holds clear professional boundaries while staying warm and approachable
• Is solution-focused and creative enough to find a new way in when the obvious route isn’t working
• Is a confident advocate for residents with external agencies and professionals
• Takes ownership of their own development and reflective practice
HOW TO APPLY
For an informal chat about the role before applying, contact Chloe Crieghton, Service Manager, on the same address. Interviews are held in person at our East London office and include a short written exercise and time with a current resident representative.
Closing date: rolling — we interview as suitable applications arrive and will close the advert once the post is filled.
Safer recruitment: all appointments are subject to an Enhanced DBS Disclosure (Adults Workforce), satisfactory references covering the last three years and completion of our Safer Recruitment process. Elliot Leigh Supported Living is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all residents. We welcome applications from people with lived experience of the care system.
Hours: 30–35 hours per week
Location: Home-based*
Reporting to: CEO
*This is a home-based role. However, the successful candidate will need to be based within reasonable travelling distance of London and our programme activity, with the ability to travel to meetings and visits within a day where required. We therefore anticipate that applicants based in Scotland, Ireland, West Wales or the far South West may find the role impractical.
This position is being re-advertised; previous candidates need not apply.
