Victim support jobs

About the role: 

A front door is not the finish line. For people moving on from rough sleeping, accommodation can be the first real point of safety in years — but keeping it, trusting support and preparing for independent housing takes skill, patience and persistence.

As Lead Support Worker in our Rough Sleeping Accommodation Programme, you will support people accepted into RSAP move on accommodation to settle, sustain their tenancy and build the confidence, skills and connections they need to move forward. You will work with people who may be navigating trauma, poor mental health, substance use, offending histories, isolation or long periods of exclusion from services, offering support that is practical, consistent and rooted in their strengths.

You will take a lead role in referrals and assessments, develop high quality support and risk management plans, and work closely with housing, health, social care, criminal justice, substance use, mental health and community partners. From helping someone manage rent, bills and repairs, to advocating when systems become a barrier, you will be part of turning accommodation into a stable platform for longer term independence.

This is a role for someone who can combine warmth with tenacity. You will need to build trust, hold boundaries, stay calm when progress is uneven, and bring creative energy to complex situations. In return, Single Homeless Project (SHP)  will support you to keep developing your practice, deepen your knowledge and grow your career in a values-led organisation committed to ending homelessness.

About you:

• You know that ending rough sleeping takes more than a housing offer — and you bring the patience, skill and persistence to help people turn accommodation into something safe, stable and lasting.
• You can build trust with people who may have every reason to be wary of services, using consistency, honesty and clear boundaries to keep support moving forward.
• You understand how trauma, mental health, substance use, offending, poverty and exclusion can shape someone’s choices, risks and relationship with support.
• You are confident turning complex needs into clear action, from assessments and support plans to risk management, case notes and practical housing sustainment work.
• You are a strong advocate and creative problem solver, able to work with partners, challenge barriers and keep pushing for progress when systems are difficult to navigate.

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.

About the role: 

Every day in this role is different, but at the heart of it is one thing: helping people feel safer, more stable and more in control of their lives.

As a Floating Support Worker, you’ll support people living across Westminster to sustain their tenancies, navigate challenges and build the confidence and skills needed to live independently. You’ll work alongside people facing homelessness, isolation, poor mental or physical health, domestic abuse, substance use and other forms of multiple disadvantage, providing practical and emotionally intelligent support that meets people where they are.

This is a role built on relationships. You’ll work closely with clients in their homes and communities, creating support plans that feel realistic, empowering and genuinely person-centred. Whether you’re helping someone manage rent arrears, reconnect with services, settle into a new home or take steps towards work, training or improved wellbeing, your support will help people move forward in meaningful and lasting ways.

You’ll be part of Westminster Floating Support, a fast-paced and supportive service funded by Westminster City Council, delivering housing-related support to people in all types of accommodation across the borough. Working as part of a collaborative and psychologically informed team, you’ll build strong partnerships with local services and agencies to make sure clients receive joined-up, holistic support.

At Single Homeless Project (SHP), we’re committed to helping our staff grow too. You’ll have access to ongoing training, reflective practice and real opportunities to develop your career within an organisation that is ambitious about creating change for homeless Londoners.

**This role is open to women only. This is an occupational requirement under Schedule 9, Part 1 of the Equality Act 2010.

The postholder will primarily support women using our services, including clients who, due to trauma, safeguarding, privacy and engagement needs, will only accept support from women workers. The role may also involve supporting clients of any gender as part of wider service delivery.

About you:

• You bring experience supporting people facing multiple disadvantage, including homelessness, mental ill health, substance use, domestic abuse or social isolation, and know how to build trusting relationships that help people feel heard, respected and supported
• You feel confident helping people navigate the practical challenges that can put a tenancy at risk, from budgeting and benefits to rent arrears, housing options and building everyday independent living skills
• You work in a psychologically informed, strengths-based way, understanding how to motivate and empower people to move towards greater stability, confidence and independence at their own pace
• You’re able to balance empathy with professional curiosity, using support planning, risk assessment and safeguarding practice to provide safe, thoughtful and person-centred support
• You’re organised, proactive and able to manage a varied caseload while working collaboratively with colleagues and partner agencies to help clients achieve meaningful and lasting outcomes

About the role:

At the heart of Camden’s response to street homelessness, the Rough Sleeping Outreach & Hub Service works across streets, transport hubs and a central support hub to ensure that no one is left facing rough sleeping alone. This is an integrated, borough-wide service focused on early engagement, reducing harm and supporting people to move away from the streets towards safety, accommodation and longer-term stability.

As an Outreach Worker, you’ll be a consistent and trusted presence for people sleeping rough or at risk of rough sleeping. Working flexibly across street outreach and hub-based support on a rota basis, you’ll build meaningful relationships, carry out trauma-aware assessments and coordinate practical support that helps people take their next steps.

You’ll work within a 'No Wrong Door' approach, supporting people wherever and however they engage. That might mean meeting someone early in the morning on outreach, supporting them to access the hub later that day, or working alongside partners to remove barriers that have kept them excluded in the past.

This is a role with variety, challenge and real impact. You’ll respond to complex situations, manage risk thoughtfully, and support people through moments of crisis and change. The work can be unpredictable and includes early, late and weekend shifts as part of a 7-day rota – but you won’t be doing it alone. You’ll be supported through reflective practice, supervision and training, as part of a skilled, compassionate and determined team.

If you’re motivated by persistence, partnership and meaningful outcomes, this is a chance to grow your skills while helping others move forward with dignity and hope.

About you:

• You’re motivated by helping people move away from harm and towards stability. You understand that progress isn’t always linear, and you bring patience, persistence and empathy to your work.
• You use a trauma-informed, strengths-based approach and can stay calm and professional when situations are complex. You balance compassion with clear boundaries and use your judgement to manage risk and safeguarding effectively.
• You work well in a fast-moving environment. You can manage competing priorities, work independently in the community and keep clear, accurate records that support continuity and accountability.
• You value partnership and collaboration. You’re confident working alongside housing, health, substance use and community safety services to deliver joined-up support and meaningful outcomes.
• You’re flexible and reliable, and comfortable working across a rota that includes early and late shifts, evenings and weekends. You’re open to working both on outreach and within a hub setting, adapting to service need while keeping people at the centre of what you do.

Justlife’s Vision

Making people's experience of temporary accommodation be short, safe and healthy.

About the job

The role of Families Project Worker involves supporting a caseload of families living in temporary accommodation. The role requires a combination of specialist knowledge and excellent relationship building skills to support residents with varying degrees of mental health and trauma related issues to engage with appropriate support, improve their experience of temporary accommodation and to access suitable housing solutions.

The role is dependent on excellent communication and joint working with colleagues and a variety of partners and professionals; including the NHS, Probation Service, local council services and other third sector organisations.

The role requires a high degree of motivation to support complex and vulnerable people, often in a lone-working situation. With a passion to work collaboratively with others for the good of our service users, and with some experience of working in a related field in a voluntary or paid capacity.

A high degree of emotional intelligence is required to support service users, many of whom have complex emotional needs, with backgrounds of trauma, neglect, abuse, crime and low self-worth. A role of this nature will experience a range of emotions from joy to grief and as such requires a high degree of resilience to cope with the emotional demands of the role.

Making decisions, “in the moment” to do the right thing to mitigate risk with service users can place high emotional demands on the job holder. The role is highly reactive, unpredictable and at times, chaotic. The role therefore requires a high degree of self-awareness to one’s own resilience levels and exercising appropriate levels of self-care.

Why do we exist?

Justlife is in existence because we know thousands of people struggle to manage in poor and unsuitable temporary accommodation. Their stay isn’t temporary, they are likely to be suffering with deteriorating mental and physical health, becoming victims of crime, losing control of their life and even dying prematurely. We are working towards making their stays as short, safe and healthy as possible.

How do we operate?

Our values guide our work and are very important to us:

• Collaboration before competition
• People before programmes
• Innovation before Institutions

What do we do?

Justlife delivers impactful services in Greater Manchester and Brighton & Hove, supporting and empowering people experiencing homelessness in temporary accommodation. We also drive positive system change across the national temporary accommodation sector, convening those with a common interest; people with lived experience, landlords, charities, local and national government, and carrying out research and gathering insights.

We aim to grow our impact and reach, supporting more people in temporary accommodation and to build a movement that brings about lasting positive change.

Why work for us?

Here at Justlife, we're committed to equality, diversity and inclusion. We want to be an organisation that's representative of the communities we serve, which is why we strive for diversity of age, gender identity, sexual orientation, physical or mental ability, ethnicity and perspective.

Perks of working at Justlife

• Great holiday package! Starting at 27 days annual leave entitlement, plus bank holidays (increasing to 29 days after 5 years’ service and 30 days after 10 years’ service)
• Additional 5 days annual leave purchase scheme through salary sacrifice

The role builds and manages networks of community champions and first responders while holding a reduced advocacy caseload.

At We Are Survivors, every role exists for one reason: to support male survivors of sexual harms and the people who stand alongside them. While each position has a different focus, they all contribute to helping survivors feel safer, more connected, and better able to move forward in their lives.

The ISVA supports male survivors throughout the criminal justice process, from making an initial report through to the conclusion of any investigation or court proceedings. Alongside providing specialist advocacy within the criminal justice system, the role ensures survivors understand their options, have their voices heard, and receive consistent emotional and practical support throughout their journey. The ISVA also works holistically, recognising that recovery extends beyond the legal process and helping survivors access the wider support they need. We are particularly keen to hear from men who want to support other men through the criminal justice process. We will provide training for the right candidate.

You'll be someone who is comfortable working with trauma and has experience in mental health, support, or community engagement. We're particularly interested in hearing from people who have worked with men, sexual harms, and their loved ones, but we also recognise that great people bring transferable skills and different experiences. If you're committed to learning, building trusting relationships, and making a meaningful difference, we'd love to hear from you.

At We Are Survivors, our values shape how we work every day. Transparency underpins our relationships, creating the openness that abuse so often takes away. Integrity is at the heart of everything we do, recognising that trust is fundamental to healing. Understanding means we take every survivor and their experiences seriously, meeting people without judgment and with genuine compassion. Being Responsive means we're committed not only to supporting survivors today, but also to predicting, educating, and preventing sexual harm against boys and men in the future.

If you're passionate about creating a society where no male survivor is left behind, and you share these values, this could be the role for you.

Why Join Us?

· a competitive salary.

· annual leave package with incremental rises plus bank holidays.

· company sick pay.

· Birthday annual leave.

· monthly clinical supervision.

· pension contribution.

· and a range of discount and benefit programmes.
