About the role:
This is an exciting opportunity to join SHP’s fundraising team and play a key role in how we connect with and grow our community of supporters. As Supporter Engagement Officer, you will help build meaningful, long-term relationships with people who are passionate about ending homelessness in London, using digital fundraising and challenge events to bring that connection to life. From someone making their first donation to those who continue to give and champion our work, you will shape supporter journeys that feel personal, engaging and impactful.
You’ll take ownership of delivering creative, insight-led campaigns across the year, with a particular focus on challenge events and our annual Christmas appeal. Alongside this, you’ll use digital tools and data to understand what resonates with supporters, continuously improving how we communicate, grow income and strengthen loyalty. The role also offers the chance to get involved in wider projects, from developing new audiences to helping gather authentic content that reflects the real impact of our services, giving supporters a genuine connection to the change they are part of.
You’ll be joining a collaborative and ambitious team that isn’t afraid to do things differently. We value fresh thinking, honesty and a willingness to test and learn, and you’ll be supported to bring new ideas and approaches into your work as we continue to grow our fundraising offer and reach more people who want to stand alongside us.

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.
