Full-time jobs

About the role:

For someone trying to move forward after contact with the criminal justice system, safe housing can be the turning point that changes everything. As a Housing Advice Worker, you’ll be part of Single Homeless Project (SHP’s) Pan London Housing Advice and Interventions Service, delivered in partnership with St Mungo’s and the Ministry of Justice, helping people on probation find clearer, safer routes away from homelessness and housing crisis.

Based in Brent, with work connecting into designated London boroughs, you’ll work closely with Probation Services to support clients to sustain their current accommodation or secure new housing where needed. Day to day, you’ll hold a caseload, complete strengths-based assessments, explore housing, financial, employment and wider support needs, and build practical plans that turn pressure and uncertainty into clear next steps. You’ll also identify risks and safeguarding concerns, keep accurate case records, liaise with housing providers and specialist agencies, and work alongside partners such as probation and police to help people access accommodation and opportunities that are safe, realistic and sustainable.

This is a Monday to Friday role in a friendly, supportive and high-performing team that is serious about the difference good housing advice can make. At SHP, you’ll be supported to grow your knowledge of housing, homelessness and criminal justice practice, build confidence in multi-agency working, and develop your career in a values-led organisation where your work has real purpose every day.

About you:

• You understand that housing advice can be life-changing, and bring either experience in supported housing, floating support or a relevant qualification, alongside a working knowledge of housing legislation.
• You can hold your nerve when situations are complicated, emotionally charged or fast-moving, keeping people’s safety, choices and next steps at the centre.
• You know how to get things moving through strong partnership work, building the kind of relationships with agencies, services and professionals that open doors for clients.
• You care about delivering a service that feels human, purposeful and high-quality, where people are informed, respected and supported to take more control of their future.
• You’re organised, self-motivated and ready to manage a varied caseload, balancing competing priorities without losing sight of the person behind each case.

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.

Help create safe, supportive spaces for people affected by someone else’s gambling, and play a key role in shaping an inclusive support service that reaches those who may otherwise struggle to access help.

If you offer experience of facilitating support groups or peer support spaces, particularly for people facing complex personal, social or health-related challenges, this is an exciting opportunity to join GamCare’s Affected Others Programme and help prevent and reduce gambling-related harm experienced by individuals affected by another person’s gambling.

The Role

As Service Officer for the Affected Others Programme, you’ll deliver online support spaces for people affected by someone else’s gambling, helping them feel heard, understood and able to access the right support. You’ll facilitate safe, non-clinical group sessions, carry out wellbeing and support needs assessments, identify and escalate any safeguarding or risk concerns, and help people connect with appropriate internal or external services where needed. The work will focus particularly on reaching groups who may face additional barriers to support, including men, young adults, neurodiverse people, LGBTQIA+ communities and people from ethnic minority backgrounds.

Alongside direct delivery, you’ll help shape and improve the service itself. Working closely with colleagues and people with lived experience, you’ll adapt content, develop accessible support journeys for users of the service, monitor participation and feedback, and use those insights to strengthen engagement and impact.

About You

You’ll bring experience of facilitating and shaping support spaces for specific groups, with the confidence to adapt resources and approaches according to the needs of the people taking part. Strong communication, organisation and project administration skills will be important, as you’ll be planning groups, managing logistics, keeping accurate records, monitoring engagement and working collaboratively with colleagues across GamCare. Experience of safeguarding principles is essential, particularly in relation to support services, peer support and co-production.

The role would suit someone who can deliver multiple support groups for diverse audiences, listen carefully to feedback and turn insight into practical service improvements. You’ll also need an understanding of health inequalities, including how they can affect people’s confidence, health literacy and the ability to seek help or advocate for themselves. A formal qualification is not essential, although training or experience in areas such as mental health, addictions, public health, health and social care, counselling, social work or peer support would be valuable.

About GamCare

Founded in 1997, GamCare is the leading provider of information, advice and support for anyone affected by gambling harms. We operate the National Gambling Helpline, provide treatment for anyone who is harmed by gambling, and create awareness about safer gambling and treatment.

Benefits You Can Enjoy

Our holiday and weekend activities give parents and carers a break while providing participants with a safe, welcoming space to have fun and receive the care they need. Our coordinators plan, arrange and deliver a programme of activities shaped around the needs of the young people, making the most of local opportunities, from heritage sites and outdoor adventures, to sports, arts and crafts, cooking, and team challenges. These sessions help children build friendships, grow in confidence, and express themselves in a fun, supportive space.

Family day activities bring families together to create special memories and enjoy time with others who share similar experiences. Coordinators develop and facilitate activity days which involve the whole family and provide opportunities to build friendships and connections with others. Activities take place at outdoor centres, local heritage sites and museums, as well as organised beach days and community centre-based workshops and activities.

Full and part-time positions available, and coordinators are required to work most Saturdays.  In school holiday periods, more activities take place on weekdays (instead of Saturdays), so flexibility is needed. Activities are delivered across Kent, so some travel is required.
