You’ll be part of a growing Maintenance Team that works collaboratively, shares knowledge and takes pride in high standards. The role offers variety, autonomy and the opportunity to build on your practical skills across different settings. Whether improving turnaround times, enhancing communal spaces or maintaining safety standards, your work will have a direct and lasting impact - not just on buildings, but on the people who live within them.
About you:
- You have practical experience carrying out a range of minor repairs and maintenance tasks, including painting and decorating, basic plumbing, tiling and carpentry.
- You’re organised and self-motivated, able to prioritise your workload and work independently across multiple sites.

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.

Black Thrive is looking for a Project Officer to support community-led change as we improve Black LGBTQ+ mental health and wellbeing across the Black Thrive localities through our programme Black Queer & Thriving.
Black Thrive Global evolved from the work of the Black Thrive Lambeth Partnership, which was established in 2016 to address the inequalities that negatively impact the mental health and wellbeing of Black people in Lambeth. Black people’s cumulative exposure to negative experiences and poor outcomes are not unique to Lambeth and Black Thrive Global was founded in 2020 to address the detrimental outcomes for Black people of African and Caribbean descent wherever they may be located.
We're looking for someone who is confident in supporting the design and delivery of community-led research projects, supporting community engagement activities and providing administrative support to the programme. An understanding of health inequities, systemic racism and the experiences of Black LGBTQ+ communities is essential.
This role will focus on co-production, community engagement and participatory research. It is a great opportunity to contribute to meaningful community research while gaining experience in influencing health systems and supporting strategic partnerships. If this sounds like you, we would welcome your application.
Please apply with both your CV and a Cover Letter.
Please ensure that your cover letter demonstrates your alignment with the Person Specification, is no more that 750 words and answers the following questions:
- Why do you want to work on Black LGBTQ+ mental health and wellbeing and how does your experience connect to this work?
- Please describe a project or research activity you have supported or delivered. What was your role, how did you organise your work and what was the outcome?
- How would you translate insights from a community focus group into recommendations that could influence statutory partners such as local authorities or NHS organisations?
- This role requires meeting deadlines, safeguarding requirements and data protection standards whilst working empathetically with community members and a Black LGBTQ+ Community Board. Please describe the practical systems or tools you use to manage your workload and responsibilities.
Applicants must have the right to work in the UK at the time of application.
Ideally, the successful candidate will start in May 2026, however, we will consider candidates with longer notice periods.
Interviews will take place in two stages:
-
Stage One Interviews: 14th April 2026 (Daytime)
-
Stage Two Interviews: 20th-21st April 2026 (Evening)
Please ensure you are available on the dates listed above.
Interviews will take place in-person in Lambeth.
If you require any reasonable adjustments at any stage of the recruitment process, please let us know in advance and we will do our best to accommodate your needs.
We exist to change the odds stacked against Black people by embedding race equity into systemic change so that thriving is the norm not the exception
