About the role:

At Single Homeless Project (SHP), we’re driven by the belief that everyone deserves a place to call home and the chance to build a life that feels fulfilling and hopeful. In our Hammersmith and Fulham service, we provide that opportunity through one high-support hostel and two medium-support hostels, where 24 Londoners are rebuilding their lives while managing their mental health and other complex challenges such as substance use or past offending. This is a place where progress is measured not just in milestones but in moments of courage, connection and growth - and where your work has the power to change the direction of someone’s story.

As a Project Worker, you’ll play a leading role in helping clients understand and manage their emotional and mental health needs, while developing the confidence and skills to live independently. Through meaningful one-to-one work, you’ll carry out detailed needs and risk assessments, identify achievable short-term goals, and help clients strengthen relationships, expand social networks and access training, education or employment. Every day will bring new opportunities to inspire change - whether supporting a resident to manage a difficult day, celebrating progress towards recovery or working alongside a dedicated team to keep our 24-hour service running smoothly, including on weekends.

This is more than a job, it’s a chance to grow your career in a place that values your ideas, invests in your development and champions innovation in homelessness support. At SHP, you’ll be part of a tenacious, forward-thinking team determined to do what works, to go further, and to make London a place where everyone can thrive.

Please note that this role involves shift work, including a combination of early shifts (8:00 AM – 3:30 PM) and late shifts (2:30 PM – 10:00 PM), with shifts scheduled every other weekend.

About you:

• You bring real experience of working alongside people facing mental health challenges and complex needs, and you see their strengths long before their struggles.
• You understand mental health legislation and safeguarding, using that knowledge not just to protect, but to empower.
• You know how to get to the heart of someone’s needs, assess risk with confidence, and build action plans that lead to real change.
• You’re switched on to what it takes to work in a busy residential service, from managing tenancies to making sure everyone feels at home.
• You believe recovery is always possible - you know how to spark motivation, nurture independence and help people move towards the lives they want.
• You thrive on collaboration, working hand-in-hand with partners like community mental health and substance use services to make progress that lasts.

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.

As Policy & Participation Lead, you’ll be at the heart of Inspiring Inclusion, a seven-year multi-agency programme funded by Propel, which is tackling the disproportionate school exclusion of Black and racially minoritised young people with adverse childhood experiences. Your mission is to make sure young people aren’t just consulted or 'given a voice', but are driving the change.

Yor day job is to design, lead and facilitate the systems, structures, culture and activities that power youth leadership and make change happen. You will be an organiser, working to catalyse and sustain youth engagement across a network of partners, ensuring young people’s experiences impact where it matters most. You will be committed to building something meaningful, rather than signalling through social media moments. You will co-design and co-deliver high-quality, in-person and community based youth services, activities and opportunities that reflect young people’s realities. You will want to make a difference, and will develop powerful, authentic materials—stories, insights and policy ideas—that drive change locally in Camden and beyond

You will bring experience of working with young people using a wide-range of strengths-based, participatory approaches grounded in justice, equity and inclusion. You will be excited by the opportunity to design and create a citizens assembly for young people to create a manifesto for change in schools. You know how to create spaces where young people facing challenges can grow, be affirmed and thrive. You’re confident navigating complex systems and partnerships, and will be a persuasive communicator across a range of media, and skilled at platforming young people to influence. Finally, you will be a team player, because it will take all of us to build the worlds young people deserve.

Are you an exceptional Head of Youth looking for a senior leadership role in a ground-breaking charity? Come lead our work with, by and for young people aged 11–25 at the Winch.

You will model our core values of Joy, Care and Courage.

We have recently secured funding from Propel for the Inspiring Inclusion initiative—a seven-year, multi-agency partnership focused on transforming the school system for Black and racially minoritised students at risk of exclusion, particularly those affected by adverse childhood experiences. As Head of Youth, you will act as programme lead and external ambassador for the partnership.

Calibre Audio is a national charity providing accessible audiobooks to people who are unable to read print due to visual impairment, dyslexia, or other conditions. Through a digital-first service and a diverse library, we enable people to experience the joy and lifelong benefits of reading.

Everyone has the legal right to equal access to information, yet only 7% of print books are converted to audio, the format needed for many disabled people. For young people, this has serious implications for their ability to learn and develop, and for the elderly, socially isolated, or disadvantaged, coming to terms with the loss of their sight, health and mobility, losing a lifelong love of the written word can be a real blow.

Calibre Audio’s vision is an inclusive society where everyone with a print disability can enjoy accessible books. The charity distribute 1,500 books daily to children and adults whose lives are transformed by access to literature. They work with all major publishers and record many of their own titles, including books unavailable elsewhere in audio. Calibre Audio are now broadening their mission to deliver wider social impact: improving literacy and education outcomes, supporting wellbeing, and tackling loneliness.

This is a pivotal role responsible for leading and growing income from trusts and foundations. Reporting to the Director of Fundraising & Communications, the postholder will develop and deliver a strategic trusts fundraising programme, securing five- and six-figure grants, building long-term partnerships, and contributing significantly to organisational sustainability and growth.
