About the role:
Weekends can be a particularly important time in supported accommodation. With fewer services open and less structure around the day, having a consistent, trusted member of staff available can make a real difference to someone’s wellbeing, confidence and ability to keep moving forward.
As a Weekend Support Assistant at St John’s Mansions, you’ll provide practical, person-centred support to residents, helping them build the skills and confidence they need to live more independently. Working from agreed support and risk plans, you might help someone manage their money or accommodation, access appointments and community services, develop everyday living skills or stay engaged with activities and goals that matter to them.
You’ll also play an important role in keeping the service safe and well coordinated throughout the weekend. You’ll respond to changing needs, safeguarding concerns and unexpected situations, maintain accurate records and make sure important information is clearly handed over to the wider team. You’ll need to be approachable and compassionate, while also confident in setting boundaries, using your judgement and knowing when concerns need to be escalated.
You’ll join an experienced team where you can develop your knowledge of supported housing, safeguarding, recovery-focused practice and working alongside people experiencing multiple disadvantage, with access to training, supervision and ongoing development.
We have two roles available, 1x 37.5 hrs per week and 1x 22.5 hrs per week. Exact working patterns will be discussed in interview.
About you:
- You can build positive, respectful relationships with people while maintaining clear professional boundaries.
- You’re able to encourage and motivate people to build confidence and independence, rather than simply doing things for them.
- You can stay calm, think clearly and respond appropriately when situations change or become challenging.
- You’re organised and reliable, with the ability to prioritise work, communicate clearly and keep accurate records.
- You understand, or are keen to develop your understanding of, homelessness, mental health, trauma, substance use and the barriers people can face when trying to move forward.
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.

Make a real difference, every day
At TACT, you'll manage our recovery-focused supported housing service, supporting adults affected by addiction and mental health difficulties. We provide safe accommodation alongside housing-related support, helping people sustain their tenancy, build independence and move forward in recovery. Residents live independently within shared accommodation, supported to achieve their recovery goals rather than receiving day-to-day personal care. We're experts by experience — we understand when others don't. Our work is challenging, rewarding and occasionally chaotic. You'll need resilience, authenticity and a sense of humour, with the ability to build genuine relationships while maintaining professional boundaries.

Whether you're already managing a supported housing service or looking to take your next step into management, you'll have the opportunity to shape a service, support a great team and help people rebuild their lives.
Your key responsibilities will include
• Managing the day-to-day operation of TACT's supported housing service
• Leading, supervising and developing a team of Housing Workers and volunteers
• Overseeing referrals, assessments, sign-ups, move on, warnings and notices
• Supporting residents to sustain tenancies, maximise income and achieve recovery goals
• Managing occupancy, voids, rent accounts, compliance and property standards
• Responding to safeguarding concerns, incidents and complex resident situations
• Working closely with Y Housing, local authorities, treatment providers and partner agencies
• Producing reports, performance information and service data to support continuous improvement
If you have these essential skills:
• Experience of supported housing, housing-related support, tenancy sustainment or supported accommodation services
• Experience supporting adults affected by addiction, mental health difficulties or other complex social needs
• Relevant Level 4 Housing qualification (or you’re willing and able to start this by October 2026)
• Strong understanding of safeguarding, risk management and professional boundaries
Ability to remain calm, resilient and professional when managing challenging situations
• Excellent communication, organisational and leadership skills
• Ability to build genuine, trusting relationships whilst maintaining accountability and boundaries
• Good IT skills and experience maintaining accurate records
• Full UK driving licence and access to your own transport
• Willingness to participate in an out-of-hours on-call rota
we'd love to hear from you. You don't need to tick every box. If you think you have the right values, skills and experience, we'd encourage you to apply.
We'd love it you also have:
• Relevant lived experience of addiction recovery, mental health difficulties or other complex social needs
• Experience supervising, coordinating or line managing staff, volunteers or placements
• Other housing, health and social care or similar qualifications or training
• Leadership, management or coaching qualifications
• Knowledge of peer support, recovery communities or the voluntary sector
What we offer
• Enhanced annual leave entitlement and family friendly policies
• Employee Assistance Programme (EAP)
• A discount scheme for shopping, days out and essentials
**Please ensure your cover letter addresses the following - applications which do not address this won't be considered**
As Recovery Housing Manager, you will inherit a newly recruited but experienced team alongside an established group of residents. What would your priorities be during your first three months, how would you structure the team and review the service? Please consider housing management and compliance, property standards, consistency of practice, and the importance of maintaining stability for residents in recovery to minimise relapse.
We are experts by experience, providing an open door for support with addiction recovery and mental wellbeing.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
UKHarvest is an award-winning food rescue and education charity that tackles two major challenges at the same time: food waste and food insecurity. Founded in 2016, UKHarvest rescues surplus nutritious food from growers, farmers and suppliers that would otherwise go to waste and redistributes it to support people and communities across the South of England and London. But it doesn't stop there. UKHarvest also teaches people how to make the most of that food through cooking, nutrition and food-waste prevention programmes, helping families develop the skills and confidence to eat well for less and waste less at home.
UKHarvest's commitment to combining food, education and community is perhaps best demonstrated through the Nourish Hub in Shepherd's Bush, West London. Opened in 2022, the Hub was established as a welcoming community space where people can access nutritious meals, practical support, educational opportunities and social connection under one roof. The Nourish Hub has received local and national recognition for its social and environmental impact.
Building on this successful model, UKHarvest has recently opened the Nourish Hub Café in Bognor Regis. The café reflects the same ethos that has shaped the organisation since its founding: using good food as a catalyst for positive change and building up community that surrounds it through accessible food education and affordable, healthy food.

Purpose of the role
The Operations Manager will ensure that HCCN has the people, systems, processes and resources needed to deliver its distinctive community cancer support effectively, safely and sustainably.
Working closely with the Chair and Board of Trustees, the postholder will translate HCCN’s strategy into clear operational priorities and ensure that the organisation is well organised, financially responsible, compliant and capable of delivering a high-quality experience for people affected by cancer.
The role is particularly important in enabling HCCN to work effectively alongside the NHS Community Cancer Nursing Team and to provide the non-clinical support that helps people live well with and beyond cancer.
This is a senior but hands-on operational role. It requires someone who can exercise sound judgement, establish effective systems and provide practical solutions, while recognising that HCCN is a relatively small charity with limited resources.

1.Effective and person-centred service coordination
2.Operational planning and organisational performance
3.Governance, risk and compliance
4.Financial and resource oversight
5.People, volunteers and organisational culture
6.Efficient operational infrastructure
7.Effective partnership working with the NHS and local community
The postholder will work within the authority delegated by the Board and will escalate matters requiring trustee approval or strategic decision-making.
To keep the role achievable within 25 hours per week, the postholder will establish effective systems, coordinate and delegate appropriately, and work with trustees, staff, volunteers, activity leaders and specialist support where available.
The role does not have responsibility for clinical decision-making or the delivery of specialist clinical cancer care.
Please see our role description for full deatils of the responsibilities of this role.
How to apply
