Mental health jobs in london

About the role:

At the Women’s Recovery Service, you’ll be part of a dedicated accommodation service supporting women who have experienced homelessness, VAWG, poor health, substance use, and exclusion from essential services.

This is more than a job in accommodation services: it is an opportunity to stand alongside women as they reclaim their strength, build new futures and shape their own recovery.

As our Specialist Multiple Disadvantage Worker you will bring expertise, creativity and determination to help women break down barriers and take steps forward with confidence. Every day is different – from providing one to one support and leading group sessions, to working with health, housing and VAWG partners to open up new opportunities. You will be a voice of encouragement and advocacy, ensuring women get the services and respect they deserve, and you will see the impact of your work in the real changes women make in their lives.

Joining Single Homeless Project means being part of an organisation that believes in your growth as much as the growth of our clients. You will be supported through training, reflective practice and career progression, giving you the chance to deepen your expertise and take your career in exciting directions. This role is your chance to make a lasting difference not only to the women you support but to how SHP continues to lead the way in ending homelessness for women across London.

*For genuine occupational requirement reasons, we are seeking female applicants only for this post (exemption under the Equality Act 2010; Schedule 9 Part 1). 

About you:

• Experience of supporting people facing homelessness and multiple disadvantage such as domestic abuse, substance use, and poor mental or physical health.
• Knowledge of women’s services and the impact of violence against women and girls (VAWG).
• Understanding of how statutory and community services operate, including health, social care, housing and criminal justice.
• Ability to engage and build trust with people who may be reluctant to accept support.
• Ability to manage a caseload effectively and balance competing priorities.

About us:

Single Homeless Project is a London-wide charity. Our vision is of a society where everyone has a place to call home and the chance to live a fulfilling life.

We help single Londoners by preventing homelessness, providing support and accommodation, promoting wellbeing, enhancing opportunity, and being a voice for change. From supporting people in crisis to helping people take the final steps towards independence and employment, we make a difference to 12,000 lives every year across all 32 boroughs.

We offer you more than a job; we offer you a chance to be part of a compassionate, driven team that's committed to making a real difference in people's lives. You'll have the opportunity to lead, co-create, and inspire change while enjoying a collaborative, growth-oriented environment.

Join us in creating a brighter, more hopeful future for individuals in need.

Our mission is to empower individuals to rebuild their lives and achieve independence. Right now, we are looking for a Recovery Worker to play a pivotal role in our Medway Recovery House in Kent.

Sounds great, what will I be doing?

The role involves supporting service users from referral through admission, ensuring their physical and emotional needs are met while collaborating with clinical teams for smooth transitions. Staff provide activities and interventions to help reduce crises, identify triggers, and create safety plans that promote mental health and prevent hospital admissions. One-on-one sessions are conducted to develop wellness recovery action plans, set SMART goals, and build social networks, alongside practical life skills training such as food preparation. Staff also liaise with statutory and voluntary agencies, deliver post-admission welfare support, and maintain high living standards between admissions, all while engaging in professional development to address challenges like self-harm and substance use.

The position emphasizes teamwork, co-production, and administrative duties. Staff collaborate with Recovery Workers and management to deliver a team-based approach, promote services, and support user engagement in peer-led activities and forums. They are responsible for maintaining accurate service user records, monitoring service upkeep, ensuring health and safety compliance, and working with multi-agency providers under governance protocols. Additionally, they contribute to developing service standards, follow policies and legislation, report maintenance issues, and undertake additional duties as required, always upholding health and safety rules and procedures.

Here's what the team will be looking for

The role requires demonstrable experience supporting people with mental health and complex needs, along with a strong understanding of recovery approaches and co-production. Staff should be able to design and deliver activities that reduce anxiety, build confidence, and support individuals in creating their own recovery journeys. This includes engaging service users in assessments, co-producing and reviewing support and safety plans, and maintaining accurate monitoring records for internal use and external reporting. A good knowledge of legislation, including welfare reform, the Care Act, and housing pathways, is essential, as well as the ability to handle financial transactions accurately and use IT systems, including MS Office and case management tools.

Flexibility and resilience are also key, with the need to work evenings, weekends, and bank holidays, while maintaining high service standards in unpredictable or challenging situations. The role requires excellent stakeholder relationship skills and the motivation to deliver consistent, high-quality support.
