About the role:

Housing First changes what is possible for people who have been shut out, moved on and let down for too long.

Single Homeless Project's (SHP’s) Camden Housing First service is expanding, and we’re looking for a passionate and skilled Project Worker to join an innovative team supporting people with long histories of rough sleeping, multiple exclusion and co-occurring needs. This includes a new and important focus on supporting couples who have been rough sleeping and will be accommodated separately in their own self-contained flats, while receiving intensive, relational and trauma-informed support.

Based from King’s Cross, you’ll work across the community and in people’s homes, carrying a small caseload so you can offer flexible, persistent and person-centred support that is shaped around each person’s strengths, safety, needs and goals. You’ll build trust with people who may have had difficult experiences of services, working at their pace while keeping a strong focus on housing sustainment, wellbeing, risk, choice and recovery.

You won’t be doing this work alone. You’ll be part of a multidisciplinary team and will work closely with statutory services, housing partners and specialist colleagues including health, psychology, Solace, occupational therapy and perpetrator support. With safety at the heart of the work, you’ll play a key role in supporting people where relationships, trauma, exploitation, abuse or external risk may be part of their lives. At SHP, you’ll also have access to learning, reflective practice and development opportunities that help you keep growing your skills while doing meaningful, complex and life-changing work.

About you:

• You have experience supporting people facing multiple disadvantage, including homelessness, trauma, mental ill health, substance use, contact with the criminal justice system or long-term exclusion from services.
• You know how to build trust with people who may be wary of services, using patience, consistency and creativity to keep people engaged without forcing change before they are ready.
• You understand the links between severe and multiple disadvantage, VAWG, coercion, abuse, exploitation and safety, and you can respond in a way that is trauma-informed, boundaried and safeguarding-focused.
• You are a confident advocate and communicator, able to work with partners, negotiate well, challenge when needed and keep the person’s voice at the centre.
• You are organised and self-sufficient in your day-to-day work, with the written, IT and recording skills needed to manage a caseload, update systems clearly and keep support plans moving.

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.

Do you enjoy building relationships that inspire others to bring lasting change? We’re looking for a Christian who is passionate about seeing people released from leprosy in the name of Jesus. If you’re called to mission and want to use your skills to build God’s kingdom here on earth, we’d love to hear from you!

We’re looking for a relational person to nurture a group of major donors, ensuring that they feel valued, informed and inspired. You’ll help people to fulfil their God-given calling to stand with those in need, increasing financial support for people affected by leprosy. You’ll also play a key part in identifying and developing new business opportunities across philanthropic networks and diaspora groups.

It’s a fast-paced role with a high workload, demanding the ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on relationship management. You’ll need excellent analytical skills and be able to use data to inform strategy, prioritise opportunities, develop clear action plans and produce clear reporting. Telling emotive stories about the people we support is also vital to this role, so you’ll have an external mentor who will hone your superb writing skills to fundraising perfection. It is likely that you will have had experience in fundraising or a commercial background in a sales or key account management.

You’ll be joining a Christ-centred, fun and supportive team. We have a culture of growing and learning together, providing extensive training in fundraising and international development. We have award winning levels of staff engagement and we’re Charity Times and Third Sector award winners. In addition, you’ll also have exciting opportunities to visit projects overseas. 

Today, one person is diagnosed with leprosy every three minutes. It is a disease of poverty, striking the most vulnerable. The physical effects of the disease are brutal, but the social effects are even worse. Severe stigma means that people can be thrown out of their families and communities. Rejected and isolated, they are left with no opportunities and no hope. This is not how God wants people affected by leprosy to live. Our work aims to restore life in all its fullness.

The Leprosy Mission (TLM) is the world’s largest leprosy-focused organisation, a pioneer in our field, with 152 years’ experience serving people affected by this disease. We work in nine countries across Africa and Asia.

TLM is a Christian charity, serving people of all faiths and none. You will represent the Mission’s purpose and ethos to external audiences. In this role you will pray with supporters, team members, and people overseas. You’ll also produce Christian communications. There is therefore an occupational requirement for the Senior Partnerships Executive to be a committed Christian.

TLM has a zero-tolerance policy towards any abuse, neglect and exploitation of all people. Successful candidates are expected to understand, sign and comply with all organisational policies, including the Safeguarding Code of Conduct and the Safeguarding Policy. Recruitment to all roles within TLM includes criminal record checks and the collection of relevant references. A criminal record will not necessarily bar you from joining us as an employee; this will depend on the circumstances of any offences. We are committed to diversity and welcome applications from appropriately qualified people from all sections of the community, who have permission to work in the UK.

Salary: Circa £36,000 per annum + 10% pension contribution.

Contract and hours: Permanent, full-time, 35 hours per week.

Location: Hybrid working with two days per week in Peterborough.

For more information on this role and the work of TLMGB (and to apply), please visit our website via the apply button.

Closing date: Thursday, 23 July 2026.

Preliminary interviews (via Teams): Date to be agreed.

In-person interviews (Peterborough Office): Tuesday, 4 August 2026.

We will shortlist and preliminary interview candidates before the closing date, so please apply as soon as possible.

Registered Charity number 1050327.

In this role you will get to work as part of our growing Opportunities team to invite people into the community of generous Christian givers in the UK and serve UK Churches with support services and giving needs. You will attend events, grow networks and spot new opportunities to advance our vision, mission and strategy. Where needed you will speak on behalf of Stewardship and deliver content with excellence. You will get to support the growth of Stewardship over the coming years as we identify new clients to join the ecosystem that enables Kingdom ministry to thrive all over the UK and around the world.

Occupational Requirement (OR)

As a result of our Christian ethos, this post is covered by an Occupational Requirement (OR) under Part 1 of Schedule 9 to the Equality Act 2010.

· Undergoing a course of teaching or training in personal financial stewardship and giving/generosity or experiencing the benefits from personal discipleship in this area.

An understanding of the faith aspects of the work of Christian charities, including the preparedness to pray with colleagues, where appropriate.

· Ensure the patient voice is heard, understood and responded to by healthcare, prison staff and patient peers detained in prison, i.e. cell-mates, for timely response to patient care needs, including an understanding of issues which may exacerbate a SCD crisis and how to respond to potential crisis;

· Empower/support patients to better understand how to self-manage their healthcare needs/their condition during their prison detention;

· Increase the awareness and understanding of sickle cell conditions with health and care professionals and the wider prison estate workforce. To ensure they have the skills and knowledge to identify and/or prevent incidents or escalation of sickle cell crisis, and reduce stigma and adversity that patients may experience.

The post-holder will oversee the successful programme development and delivery to meet the aims and objectives of this pilot project.

The post holder will develop a flexible, bespoke training programme which meets the needs of key stakeholder groups whilst taking into consideration the restrictions imposed by the prison environment. This may include the offer of training virtually/online, and/or face-to-face at prison location/s.

The role will include liaising with a number of organisations commissioned by NHS England (London) to assist with patient engagement.
