This is more than just a management role – it is a chance to shape the development of a young and ambitious service while growing your own career within SHP. The leadership you bring will strengthen our impact on the lives of Londoners experiencing homelessness and influence the way we respond to this challenge as an organisation.

About you:

• You will have proven experience in leading and directing teams effectively, ensuring a consistent, high-quality, and responsive service.
• Demonstrated capability in building and maintaining strong partnerships with key organisations and stakeholders in the sector.
• Experience of leading teams to deliver client focused support, including detailed assessments, onward referrals, and tailored interventions for individuals facing multiple disadvantages.
• Dedication to safeguarding vulnerable adults, ensuring the quality of risk management plans to reduce and manage risk, whilst creating opportunities to promote independence.
• Experience of embedding and managing continuous improvement in Health & Safety and Housing Management processes to maintain a safe and compliant environment for residents and staff.

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.

As Project Manager, you will oversee the development and implementation of care plans designed to provide meaningful choice and a range of activities and support to meet individual needs. You will also contribute to the development of the team and be responsible for encouraging a culture based on respect and dignity for those in need of care and support, providing supervision and clear management to a team of support workers.

The ideal candidate will have experience of leading and coaching a team supporting people with learning disabilities or another vulnerable client group.

There is also a cross-area team of volunteers who assist with form filling and all aspects of the assessment process.

We are looking for a Benefits Service Manager with significant experience of working within welfare benefits. You will have a good understanding of the needs of people with mental health problems and the links with welfare issues. You will take responsibility for the quality of support the team deliver to ensure it is robust and accountable. We hope to be able to extend our offer of support in the future so it will be important you have an interest in developing the service.
