About the role:

At Single Homeless Project's (SHP) Elms, we’re looking for a passionate and experienced Support Assistant ready to make a lasting difference in people's lives. Elms is a vibrant service based in Leyton (Waltham Forest) that brings together supported housing, a daytime activity programme, and a small floating support service. The supported housing element provides longer-term placements for adults with a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia, some of whom may also be managing physical health needs. Here, you’ll play a vital role in supporting residents to maintain their daily routines, manage their treatment, and grow in confidence as they move toward greater independence. From encouraging healthy eating and personal care to assisting with medication prompts and helping to keep living spaces welcoming and safe, you’ll be a consistent and trusted presence in their journey.

You’ll also contribute to our lively day service, where activities like bowling, lunch clubs and gardening groups help individuals reconnect with their community, learn new skills, and find joy in shared experiences. In addition, you’ll support former residents who are now living semi-independently, offering that extra bit of help as they navigate life with increasing autonomy. Working closely with Project Workers, you’ll be involved in a wide variety of recovery-focused tasks across the service, with the chance to build meaningful, lasting relationships along the way.

Joining SHP means more than taking on a role – it’s a chance to grow your career within an organisation committed to learning, development and progression. You’ll be part of a supportive, skilled team that values your insight and initiative. And most importantly, you’ll be helping people rebuild their lives, rediscover their strengths, and shape futures they can be proud of.

About you:

• An understanding of the principles of planned support and working with clients with multiple disadvantage.
• A level of numeracy sufficient to carry out tasks such as budgeting with clients, calculating benefit entitlements and understanding rent arrears.
• The ability to be self-motivating, work under pressure and manage time effectively, prioritising different areas of work according to need.
• An ability to be self-servicing in the use of IT applications and basic keyboard skills to record activities and to send and receive emails.
• The ability to coach someone to undertake a range of practical tasks relating to their independent living including moving into a new home.

About us:

Single Homeless Project is a London-wide charity. Our vision is of a society where everyone has a place to call home and the chance to live a fulfilling life.

We help single Londoners by preventing homelessness, providing support and accommodation, promoting wellbeing, enhancing opportunity, and being a voice for change. From supporting people in crisis to helping people take the final steps towards independence and employment, we make a difference to 12,000 lives every year across all 32 boroughs.

We offer you more than a job; we offer you a chance to be part of a compassionate, driven team that's committed to making a real difference in people's lives. You'll have the opportunity to lead, co-create, and inspire change while enjoying a collaborative, growth-oriented environment.

Join us in creating a brighter, more hopeful future for individuals in need.
