ELMS is a specialist mental health service in Leyton supporting adults living with long-term mental health conditions to remain well, connected to their communities and out of hospital. Made up of an office base, four supported houses, a small floating support offer and a structured day programme, ELMS provides longer-term accommodation rooted in stability, trust and continuity.

As Night Concierge, you’ll be the steady presence that holds the service overnight. From 10pm to 8am, you’ll be the first point of contact for residents, the guardian of the buildings, and the calm voice on the end of the phone when reassurance is needed. You’ll take responsibility for the ELMS duty phone, offering grounding, clarity and emotional containment to residents who may need support during the night.

This is a role with quiet impact. By maintaining safety, responding proportionately to concerns and providing a consistent, compassionate presence, you’ll create the conditions that allow residents to rest, recover and continue building their lives. It’s work that requires patience, professionalism and sound judgement — and makes a real difference, even when things are quiet.

About you:

• You bring experience of supporting adults with long-term mental health needs, or working in related support or care environments.
• You’re calm, grounded and reassuring, even in uncertain or emotionally charged situations — especially when supporting people by phone.
• You’re confident working independently overnight, with good judgement about when to act and when to escalate.
• You understand the importance of clear boundaries, safety and proportionate responses, while still being warm and person-centred.
• You’re organised and reliable, with strong written skills and the ability to record and hand over information clearly and accurately.

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.

About Depaul UK

In the 1980s, high unemployment and steep inflation was contributing to a shocking rise in youth homelessness across London. Thousands of young people were sleeping rough every night, with many areas notoriously dubbed “cardboard cities” due to the visible rise in street homelessness. Appalled by the scenes playing out across the capital, a group of people came together to tackle the challenge head on. Led by Cardinal Basil Hume and Mark McGreevy OBE, in 1989 Depaul UK was born.

What began as a single housing project in North London soon expanded across London, Greater Manchester and the North East of England. Today, Depaul UK provides accommodation, prevention and support services to thousands of marginalised young people across the UK each year.

As our name suggests, the work of Depaul UK has been inspired by St. Vincent de Paul – a man who devoted his life to helping vast numbers of people throughout the 17th century. St. Vincent de Paul’s belief in the intrinsic worth of all people and his commitment to taking bold action remain central to our values today. Depaul UK now forms part of a family of Depaul charities around the world. We each focus on the specific challenges in our own countries, but we’re united by our shared values and mission to end homelessness.
