Trust administrator jobs in London, greater london

About the role:

At the heart of Camden’s response to street homelessness, the Rough Sleepers Hub Assessment Centre at 165 King’s Cross Road offers people a safe, supportive place to begin their journey away from the streets. With 16 beds and a short-stay model focused on planned moves within 28 days, this service is about momentum, opportunity and change. As a Project Worker, you’ll play a central role in helping people take their next steps towards secure and sustainable housing.

Working in a psychologically informed and trauma-aware environment, you’ll lead a caseload and carry out meaningful assessments that place each person’s experiences, strengths and goals at the centre. You’ll develop personalised support plans, respond thoughtfully to complex situations, and offer practical, hands-on support - from daily living tasks and wellbeing, to housing pathways, training and employment opportunities. You’ll work closely with partners including Connect Forward, In Roads and Camden Routes off the Streets to deliver joined-up, holistic support that makes a real difference.

This is a role with variety, purpose and impact. You’ll be part of a service that supports people at a critical moment of transition, while being supported yourself through reflective practice, ongoing training and clear development pathways. If you’re motivated by change, collaboration and meaningful outcomes, this is a chance to grow your skills while helping others move forward with confidence and hope.

About you:

• You’re driven by helping people move forward. You know how to support someone to set goals, navigate change and stay steady when situations feel tough, responding calmly and thoughtfully when it matters most.
• You bring a trauma-informed, strengths-based mindset to everything you do. You understand professional boundaries and lead with respect, curiosity and a non-judgemental approach.
• You thrive in a busy, fast-moving environment. You manage your time well, take initiative and keep standards high, even when priorities shift and decisions need to happen quickly.
• You believe in the power of partnership. You’re confident working alongside other professionals and services, pulling people together to create joined-up support and real outcomes.
• You’re flexible, reliable and ready to step in when needed. You’re comfortable working across a rota that includes early and late shifts, some evenings and weekends, and you can support people to build financial stability through income maximisation and practical guidance.

About Black Thrive Global

We exist to change the odds stacked against Black people by embedding race equity into systemic change so that thriving is not the exception but the norm.

Global Black Thrive 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.
