It's fast-paced, human-centred, and deeply impactful.

This is more than just a job - it’s a launchpad for a career in frontline services where you’ll develop a rich mix of skills, from trauma-informed support to multi-agency collaboration. You’ll guide people through rapid assessment and into safe, appropriate accommodation - whether that’s reconnecting them to services in other areas or helping them settle into new housing and support networks. Every day, you'll help navigate real challenges - like immigration, healthcare access, or welfare systems - and you'll see the impact of your work unfold as people regain their footing and move forward.

At Single Homeless Project (SHP), we believe in growing talent from within. This role opens the door to continuous professional development and progression across our diverse services.

• Strong communication and organisational skills.

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.
