Job description

About the Role:

As a Specialist Multiple Disadvantage Worker, you will be responsible for delivering targeted, person-centred interventions for individuals within SHP’s Camden Adult Pathway Hostels. Your role will involve holding a designated caseload and working closely with the wider client group through our in-house recovery programme. With a strong focus on harm minimisation, dual diagnosis, and strengths/recovery frameworks, you’ll help to empower service users to make positive changes and progress towards independence.

This is a unique role that requires you to build relationships of trust with service users, many of whom have faced significant barriers such as mental health challenges, substance use, and complex trauma. Your support will enable them to access crucial assessments, interventions, and treatments, enhancing their ability to utilise external statutory and community resources. You will also provide guidance and best practice standards to Project Workers, helping to set a benchmark of excellence in delivering complex needs support.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Provide specialist interventions and personalised support for service users, including those with complex needs such as mental health issues, substance use, and physical health challenges.
  • Develop and implement person-centred support plans, monitor individual progress, and ensure best practice is adhered to within the service.
  • Work dynamically with service managers, project workers, and other professionals within the Camden Accommodation Pathway to deliver tailored interventions and improve outcomes for service users.
  • Foster proactive working relationships with Adult Social Care, Health, Mental Health, and other specialist providers to improve access and opportunities for service users.
  • Advocate for service users with experience of rough sleeping, helping them access the necessary assessment, intervention, and treatment to achieve recovery and maintain stability.
  • Facilitate group work and support the in-house recovery programme, promoting a holistic approach to recovery and independence.

About You:

  • Demonstrable experience working with individuals facing homelessness or complex needs, such as mental health challenges, substance use, and physical health issues. Experience in residential or accommodation-based services is a plus.
  • A strong understanding of the health and social care sector, including how to navigate between and across specialties. A deep understanding of the barriers service users face on their journey towards independence, such as domestic violence, anger management, and learning impairments.
  • Excellent person-centred engagement skills, group work facilitation, and the ability to manage complex caseloads. Strong team-working skills with the ability to collaborate effectively with other professionals.
  • The ability to create, develop, and implement support plans, with strong time management skills and the ability to work independently, prioritise competing demands, and maintain high standards.
  • A passion for supporting some of the most vulnerable individuals in our society and the resilience to work within a challenging but rewarding environment. You will also have the ability to critically reflect on your own practice and continuously strive for improvement.

About us:

At Single Homeless Project (SHP), we believe that everyone deserves a place to call home and the opportunity to lead a fulfilling life. We support individuals across London, helping them overcome homelessness and complex challenges through tailored support, accommodation, and advocacy. Each year, we make a real difference in the lives of over 10,000 single Londoners.

By joining us as a Specialist Multiple Disadvantage Worker, you’ll be part of a compassionate and forward-thinking organisation that prioritises innovation, professional development, and the wellbeing of both staff and service users.

If you are passionate about working with people facing multiple disadvantages and want to contribute to a charity that’s leading the way in homelessness prevention and recovery, apply today! This is more than just a job; it’s an opportunity to be part of a supportive, collaborative, and driven team that’s dedicated to making a lasting impact on people’s lives.
