Job description

About the role:

This is a hands-on, relationship-led role supporting people experiencing homelessness alongside complex needs to stabilise their lives and move forward. As a Project Worker, you’ll work directly with residents across multiple sites in Lewisham (Brockley and New Cross), offering consistent, practical support that recognises people’s mental health needs while building confidence and routine. You’ll be present through the day-to-day, responding to what’s in front of you and helping people take meaningful steps at their own pace.

You’ll carry out in-depth assessments, manage risk alongside residents, and work together to set clear, achievable goals. From developing living skills and strengthening relationships, to supporting access to health services, education, training or work, your focus will be on progress that lasts. You’ll also play a key role in housing management, supporting people to sustain their accommodation, manage income, reduce arrears and prepare for their next move towards greater independence.

Alongside direct support, you’ll help shape a safe, calm and well-run environment where people can focus on change. You’ll work closely with colleagues and partner agencies, contribute to a 24-hour rota and bring resilience, creativity and compassion to each shift. This is a role for someone who wants to step in, take responsibility and grow their practice in a service that values initiative and backs its people. We back our staff to develop, take ownership and shape their future at SHP. Bring your values and ambition, and we’ll invest in you to build a career that makes a lasting impact.

About you:

  • You’re compassionate, non-judgemental and genuinely motivated to support people to move forward, meeting them where they are and respecting their lived experience.
  • You bring resilience, creativity and a calm head, staying steady and solution-focused when situations are complex or unpredictable.
  • You believe in recovery-led, collaborative working and enjoy building strong, trusting relationships with people and partners alike.
  • You treat everyone with kindness, fairness and dignity, and take pride in creating inclusive, welcoming spaces.
  • You’re committed to learning and growth, open to training, reflection and supervision, and keen to develop your practice over time.

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.
