Student activities manager jobs

About the role:

This is an exciting opportunity to join Single Homeless Project (SHP) in a brand new Caseworker role at the forefront of an innovative Westminster pilot service. The HMO scheme is designed to support under 35s who have experienced rough sleeping and are ready to take the next step towards independence. As a Caseworker, you will play a key part in shaping this exciting new service, working directly with clients to secure safe accommodation, build stability and open up new opportunities for the future. From assessing suitability for the HMO service and arranging property viewings, to supporting sign-ups with landlords, you will be central to each client’s journey into their new home.

Every day will bring variety and the chance to make a tangible difference. You will guide clients through maximising their income via Housing Benefit and Universal Credit, help them register with GPs and health services, and create pathways into college and employment. Alongside this, you’ll work with individuals to develop budgeting skills, explore savings and build the confidence needed to successfully move on after their twelve-month tenancy. Your work will not just provide housing but help create the tools, resilience and opportunities that can transform lives.

Joining SHP means more than taking on a role; it is the chance to grow your career in an organisation that invests in its people while driving forward bold, new solutions to homelessness. This is your opportunity to be part of a pioneering service, to leave a lasting impact on Londoners’ lives, and to shape the way we work as a charity committed to ending homelessness in the capital.

About you:

• Skilled at building effective partnerships with service providers and agencies to improve client outcomes.
• Self-motivated and resilient, with strong time management and the ability to prioritise under pressure.
• Experienced in supporting clients to increase independence, inclusion, and financial stability.
• Able to assess needs using a strengths-based, person-centred approach that recognises aspirations.
• Committed to promoting diversity, inclusion, and collaborative team working.
• Knowledgeable about the causes of homelessness and pathways to secure housing and support.

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.
