About the role:
Join Single Homeless Project (SHP) as a Senior Outreach Worker and take a leading role in our response to rough sleeping across Redbridge. This is frontline work with purpose - combining assertive outreach, strong local partnerships and trauma-informed practice to help people move away from the streets for good. You’ll be part of a committed, values-driven team working closely with housing, health, substance use and immigration services to create real opportunities for change.
As a Senior Outreach Worker, you’ll lead outreach shifts across the borough, offering direction, reassurance and momentum to a team of Outreach Workers while holding a focused caseload of people facing complex challenges. Working in close partnership with Navigators, you’ll help ensure each person’s journey off the streets is joined-up, consistent and grounded in trust. You’ll balance hands-on engagement with thoughtful coordination, modelling best practice and keeping people at the centre of every decision.
This role is for someone who wants to shape practice, not just deliver it. At SHP, you’ll be trusted to bring your experience, judgement and ideas to the table, with the support to keep learning and pushing boundaries. If you’re motivated by impact, thrive in a leadership role that stays close to the work, and want to be part of a service that believes change is possible, we’d love to hear from you.
About you:
- You bring solid experience of working alongside people who are rough sleeping or at risk of street homelessness, and you’re motivated by work that leads to real change.
- You’re confident taking the lead on outreach shifts, supporting others to do their best work and setting a calm, purposeful tone when it matters most.
- You understand homelessness pathways, safeguarding and the wider systems people are navigating, and you know how to work within them while still challenging what doesn’t work.
- You build strong, effective relationships with partners across statutory and voluntary services, using collaboration to open doors and keep things moving forward.
- You stay grounded under pressure, think clearly when situations are complex, and are driven by a strong sense of social justice that aligns with SHP’s values of hope, inclusion and transformation.

About the role:
This is a leadership role with real weight — and real impact. As the Service Manager in our Shooters Hill service, you’ll lead an accommodation service supporting young people aged 16+ as they navigate housing, independence and what comes next. You’ll set the tone, hold the standards and champion a service that is safe, ambitious and unapologetically centred on young people’s strengths.
Your days will be a mix of strategy and presence. You’ll be visible in the service, backing your team to deliver consistent, high-quality, personalised support, while keeping a firm grip on housing management, safeguarding and performance. You’ll coach, challenge and develop staff to work confidently within a trauma-informed, psychologically informed environment — ensuring support is not only responsive, but genuinely empowering.
You’ll also be the connector. Working closely with local authorities, commissioners and partner agencies, you’ll make sure referrals are right, pathways are clear and move-on starts from day one. You’ll use insight, data and lived experience feedback to keep evolving the service — because standing still isn’t an option when young people are relying on us to get this right.
If you’re driven by high standards, believe young people deserve more than box-ticking support, and want to lead a service that helps them build skills, confidence and futures on their own terms — this is your moment.
About you:
- You’re an experienced manager who knows how to lead and develop staff across accommodation-based services, often spanning multiple sites.
- You bring a strong grasp of housing management, health & safety and safeguarding — and you don’t shy away from accountability.
- You’re confident working with young people facing complex challenges, using a trauma-informed, psychologically informed and strengths-based approach.
- You build credible, productive relationships with commissioners, local authorities and partners, and know how to represent a service with confidence and clarity.
- You lead with integrity, curiosity and courage — committed to equality, inclusion and creating spaces where both young people and staff can thrive.
