About the role:

This is a rare opportunity to take a clinical role out of a traditional setting and into the heart of Camden’s rough sleeping response. As Clinical Psychologist within our Rough Sleeping Outreach and Hub Service, you will work alongside people who are often navigating mental health challenges alongside homelessness, substance use and other experiences that can make engaging with support feel difficult or unsafe. Your role will be to help bridge that gap, bringing thoughtful, psychologically informed support directly to where it’s needed most.

You’ll combine direct clinical work with a strong focus on influence and impact. This means completing assessments and formulations, supporting access to appropriate mental health pathways, and holding a small caseload for more structured therapeutic work at the hub. Alongside this, you’ll play a key role in strengthening how the wider service understands and responds to trauma and mental health, creating space for reflection, shared thinking and more effective ways of supporting clients to move away from the streets and towards safety and longer term stability.

Working closely with outreach teams, hub staff and external partners, you’ll help shape a more joined up and human approach to support. You’ll also line manage and develop an Assistant Psychologist, contributing to both their growth and the wider offer to clients. This is a role where your expertise won’t sit in isolation - it will influence practice, shape culture and ultimately help more people access the support they deserve.

About you:

• You’re a qualified Clinical Psychologist (HCPC registered) with experience supporting adults facing multiple disadvantage, including homelessness, mental health and substance use
• You build trust in a way that feels genuine and consistent, especially with people who may have had difficult experiences of services
• You’re confident in assessment and formulation, and use this to guide meaningful, person centred support and decision making
• You have experience working alongside other services and professionals, and know how to navigate systems to get the right support in place
• You’re comfortable influencing practice beyond your own caseload, whether through reflective practice, consultation, training or informal day to day support to teams
• You bring curiosity, sound judgement and a calm, thoughtful approach, even in complex or high pressure situations

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.

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.
