About us:
Princess Alice Hospice is a charity supporting people in life, death and grief. We’re dedicated to working closely with individuals, communities and organisations in the London Boroughs of Kingston and Richmond and large parts of Surrey, to ensure more people receive the support they need.
Our Compassionate Neighbours programme strengthens community support for people who are isolated, nearing the end of life through terminal illness or age, or who would benefit from meaningful social connection. Volunteers are recruited, trained and matched with community members to offer friendship, practical support and a listening ear.
About the role:
As a Compassionate Neighbour Coordinator, you’ll inspire local people to become a Compassionate Neighbour in their community, match them with those who would benefit from companionship, and support those relationships as they grow. From selecting, onboarding and getting to know volunteers, to visiting members of the community and matching them with a volunteer, your work with the team will help create a stronger, more connected community across our care area. You will oversee the continued development of our Compassionate Cafes in the community.

You’ll be organised, confident engaging with a wide range of people and able to build trust quickly, with strong written communication skills and the ability to produce clear, accurate written materials, carefully considering wording and tone to suit your audience.
Experience in community, health, social care or volunteer‑focused settings is helpful, but your enthusiasm, compassion and ability to listen are what really matter. You’ll understand safeguarding, value inclusivity, and bring a flexible, positive approach to your work. A full driving licence and access to a car are essential.

Working closely with the Communications Manager, you will ensure our messaging is consistent, inspiring and reaches the right audiences — while also supporting internal communications that help connect and inform our teams across the organisation.
This is a role for someone who is as comfortable crafting a compelling story as they are managing a complex event; someone who thrives on variety, takes pride in the details and genuinely cares about the young people at the heart of our work.

Experience of creating engaging communications content, including social media, newsletters and reports
-
Strong project management skills — highly organised, with the ability to work with initiative and manage multiple priorities
-
Demonstrable success in building and maintaining relationships with supporters or stakeholders
-
Strong attention to detail across both events delivery and written communications
-
Commitment to Envision's vision, mission and values

About the role:
At the heart of Camden’s mission to end rough sleeping, the Gray's Inn Road project offers short-stay accommodation for 16 individuals experiencing some of the most challenging periods in their lives. Funded by the Department of Levelling Up, Housing and Communities and the Greater London Authority, and delivered in partnership with One Housing Group and Camden Council, this service plays a pivotal role in ensuring rough sleeping in Camden is not only rare but brief and not repeated. Residents typically stay between three to six months, during which time the focus is on creating pathways into safe, sustainable housing and renewed independence.
You’ll be part of a dynamic, forward-thinking team dedicated to delivering trauma-informed, psychologically informed support. You’ll work closely with clients facing overlapping challenges including homelessness, poor physical and mental health, substance use, trauma and histories with the criminal justice system. With your own caseload, you’ll conduct in-depth assessments, build tailored support plans and facilitate interventions that reflect the needs, strengths and aspirations of each person. Every day brings new opportunities to connect people with education, training or employment, to help them rebuild practical life skills, and to foster progress towards long-term goals.
This is a role where no two days are the same, and the impact you’ll make is tangible. From supporting someone through a housing move to witnessing the first steps towards recovery or reconnection. You’ll work alongside a wide range of services including Camden Routes off the Streets, Inroads, Connect Forward and the Adult Pathway, as well as contribute to the operational running of the service and uphold high standards in safety and compliance. At SHP, you’ll be part of an organisation that values learning and growth, offering you access to high-quality training, reflective practice and real opportunities to progress your career. Most importantly, you’ll be part of a team that believes in people’s potential and in your ability to help unlock it.
About you:
- You build trust quickly and support people facing multiple disadvantage to set goals, take control and move forward at their own pace
- You stay calm under pressure and respond confidently to crisis, making safe, thoughtful decisions in complex situations
- You understand how to maximise income and financial stability, helping clients navigate benefits, rent and budgeting
- You work with clear, professional boundaries and bring a trauma informed, non-judgemental and strengths-based approach to every interaction
- You’re organised and proactive, able to manage a varied workload, prioritise what matters and adapt to a rota including evenings and weekends
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.
