You’ll use a strengths based and trauma-informed approach, adapting what you offer to respond to people’s interests, goals and experiences.

You’ll also look beyond our services to create more opportunities for clients. Building strong relationships with community organisations, statutory services, specialist agencies and lived experience networks, you’ll help connect people with the resources, activities and support available around them. Alongside this, you’ll champion co-production, support colleagues, volunteers and peers to get involved in delivering the programme, and help make recovery and social inclusion a visible part of everyday service delivery.

At Single Homeless Project (SHP), you’ll be encouraged to keep developing your own practice too. Through training, supervision and reflective practice, you’ll have opportunities to deepen your knowledge of recovery, trauma-informed approaches and group work, while playing an active part in shaping how we support people experiencing multiple disadvantage.

• You’re creative, enthusiastic and proactive, with the confidence to turn ideas into meaningful opportunities and encourage clients, colleagues, volunteers and peers to get involved.
• You’re confident building positive working relationships and partnerships with a range of internal and external services, helping to open up new opportunities for the people we support.
• You understand how to engage, motivate and inspire people experiencing multiple disadvantage, including the barriers that can make participation more difficult, and can create a positive and welcoming atmosphere.
• You’re committed to inclusive practice, creating environments where people from different backgrounds feel respected and able to participate, while maintaining clear and appropriate professional boundaries.

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 WSUP

Woolwich Service Users Project is a charity based in central Woolwich, supporting people experiencing homelessness, poverty, poor mental health, addiction, social isolation and multiple disadvantage. WSUP provides a welcoming, non-judgemental, open-access community space where guests can access practical support, health and wellbeing services, specialist advice, and trusted relationships.

Our work is rooted in lived experience, dignity and relational support. We meet people where they are, offering both immediate relief and pathways into longer-term stability, recovery and community connection. WSUP works closely with local and national partners across health, housing, recovery, advice and community wellbeing to reduce health inequalities and improve outcomes for people who often face barriers to mainstream services.

Purpose of the Role

A key part of the role will be helping people who are not currently engaged with statutory or mainstream services to reconnect with healthcare, housing, welfare and specialist support.

The Health Coordinator will also play a key role in developing and overseeing WSUP’s women’s service provision, including Women’s Wednesday. This will include coordinating health and wellbeing support, strengthening referral pathways for women, supporting peer-led activity, promoting safety and inclusion, and ensuring the service responds to the needs of women experiencing homelessness, domestic abuse, poor mental health, addiction, temporary accommodation, poverty, social isolation or resettlement barriers.

The postholder will also support female residents linked to women’s accommodation and community-based support pathways in Greenwich, helping them access WSUP’s trusted community hub, women-only provision, health coordination, practical support, peer connection and specialist referrals at a pace that feels safe and appropriate.

· Support the development of a supportive and productive referral route into and out of the service, managing exit from the service safely.

· Support the development of this new service, responding professionally to changes as we improve and evolve our working practice collaboratively.

· Identify and deliver appropriate interventions.

· Identify when people need referrals to secondary services or specialist mental health services and make appropriate referrals.

· Independently travel to visit people in a range of settings across in Manchester and across Greater Manchester, adhering to lone working and risk management procedures.

· Support people to engage in our service through coproduction, engagement events and feedback forms.
