About the role:
At SHP, we believe in the power of human connection to inspire change and shape futures. As a Project Worker at King George’s in Westminster, you’ll join a dedicated and forward-thinking team within our Multiple Disadvantage Services. King George’s is a 68-bed hostel and a key part of Westminster City Council’s Rough Sleepers Pathway, offering support to men with complex needs who have experienced prolonged periods of rough sleeping. Many of the people we support are navigating the impacts of long-term substance use, offending histories, and trauma that often began in childhood and continues to shape their lives.
This is a role where meaningful change happens every day - through conversation, connection and consistent support. You'll be working within a Psychologically Informed Environment (PIE), helping individuals move forward from deeply challenging circumstances towards greater health, independence and purpose. Whether you're building trust, supporting recovery, or guiding someone to find stability in housing and wellbeing, your work will have a direct and lasting impact.
It’s also the kind of role that builds you. At SHP, we invest in your growth just as much as you invest in the people you support. You’ll be part of a team that values creativity, resilience and compassion - where there’s space to develop, to lead and to build a truly rewarding career. If you’re looking to make a difference and grow in the process, this is where it starts.
About you:
- Previous experience of working in the health and social care, supporting vulnerable people, rough sleepers or people with complex mental health, physical health or substance use support needs.
- An understanding of working with people using person-centred approaches.
- The ability to manage a caseload and deliver positive outcomes utilising your knowledge of the health and social care sector.
- A flexible and creative approach to working with a sometimes hard to engage client group.

OCC is the world’s largest shoebox appeal where Samaritan’s Purse, together with local churches here and overseas, distributes from the UK 1/4 million gift-filled shoeboxes annually to children in need overseas and in so doing demonstrates God’s love in a tangible way while sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ.

About Starlight
Starlight is the UK’s leading children’s healthcare charity focused on the power of play. We support children to experience moments of joy and resilience through play during hospital stays, treatment and recovery. Play helps children cope, reduces trauma and anxiety, and improves engagement with healthcare.
Despite its impact, play is often overlooked in healthcare settings. Our work ensures that every child’s right to play is protected and prioritised – because play isn’t just fun, it’s fundamental.
Our Culture
We believe that our success depends upon focusing on our purpose and business results. We take individual and collective responsibility for a culture where everyone can belong, feel safe and thrive. Our values are the agreed standards that govern our behaviour and are central to our decision-making and the choices that we make. Our colleague development programme focuses on individual awareness of our own values, strengths, and preferences –what makes us who we are – to help all colleagues think for themselves, manage their environment, and make appropriate, balanced decisions for themselves, others and Starlight. We believe that our strength is in our differences and constantly strive towards an authentic workplace culture with equity, diversity, and inclusion as central principles.
Your CV will demonstrate your track record of experience and expertise for the role.
Instead of submitting a traditional cover letter, we would also like you to design a 2-page proposal for why Starlight should consider you for this role. The proposal must demonstrate your design capability and the many ways that you are aligned to this role, in the way that you would with a Trust application. We will only consider candidates who submit a CV and the 2 -page proposal documents.
You will need to use the upload CV area to upload your CV and email your 2-page proposal to the recruitment email listed on the JD.

Early Literacy Interventionist (North London)
Are you looking for a new challenge? Are you keen to work with children to support and develop their phonics and reading skills?
38% of children from disadvantaged backgrounds leave primary school in England each year unable to read to the expected standard. Chapter One is a fast-growing charity, with a vision of a world in which all children have the literacy skills they need to thrive. We work to ensure that all children have 1:1 reading support at the time they need it most.
Our Early Literacy Intervention (ELI) programme (based on a model that serves 20,000 children successfully in the USA) provides daily, 1:1, 7 minute phonics sessions for children who are behind in phonics. Using a bespoke technology tool, a trained Early Literacy Interventionist works individually with target children.
This ELI role, reporting to the Schools Development Manager, is a great opportunity for someone who wants to develop and grow their knowledge of phonics and/or their teaching skill set. It is ideal for someone with previous school experience who is looking for a new and exciting challenge.
You will conduct initial baseline assessments and then deliver differentiated, 1:1, targeted, 7 minute phonics sessions to pupils using a systematic, synthetic approach. Although you are employed by Chapter One, you will work closely with the school team to understand the progression of the school’s phonics teaching; establish tailored plans for each child and feedback on pupil progress. Using your knowledge and insight, you will also collaborate with colleagues at Chapter One to further improve the ELI model, the online tool and programme delivery.
Please read the full job description for details of the responsibilities of the role, and our employee recruitment pack to learn more about Chapter One. This is a part-time role, based across two primary schools in Haringey, North London.
Chapter One is committed to safeguarding children and young people. All post holders are subject to a satisfactory enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service disclosure. Copies of our Safeguarding Policy and Safer Recruitment Policy are available on request.
As a charity that values and celebrates people's diversity and champions opportunities for all young people, we are keen to receive applications from people who have experienced disadvantage and from those who are of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities who are currently underrepresented in the organisation. We believe that a diverse organisation is one that is more innovative, more creative and gets better results.
Please apply by sending a CV and covering letter (of no more than one page) outlining why you’re the right person for this role and how you meet the Required skills & experience section of the job description.
Closing date for applications: Sunday 6th July at 9pm
Interview date: Thursday 10th July
At Chapter One, we want to create a world where all children have the literacy skills needed to thrive.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
About the role:
At Grace House, SHP’s specialist 11-bed hostel for women in Camden, you’ll step into a leadership role that offers real purpose and the chance to drive meaningful, lasting change. As Service Manager, you’ll be at the helm of a pioneering service that supports women experiencing multiple disadvantage; homelessness, domestic abuse, substance use, poor mental health and the ongoing impact of trauma and exploitation. You’ll guide and inspire a skilled, passionate team dedicated to a trauma-informed, gender-responsive approach that supports each woman to reclaim safety, rebuild trust and shape a life on her own terms.
This is a unique opportunity to lead a service known for its compassion, collaborative ethos and commitment to continuous learning. The day to day brings challenge and reward in equal measure: managing a multidisciplinary team that includes project workers, an ETE specialist and a dedicated health lead; shaping practice through the lens of our Psychologically Informed Environment framework; and fostering strong partnerships with services across mental health, substance use and violence against women and girls. Every interaction is rooted in empowerment and possibility, creating space for healing, hope and opportunity.
At SHP, you won’t just grow in your role, you’ll shape it. We offer a leadership journey grounded in reflective practice, robust supervision and access to development pathways that will support you to lead not just this service, but potentially others in the future. You’ll be part of a values-led organisation where your voice counts, your impact matters and your career can truly flourish. If you're ready to lead with purpose and make a difference that lasts, this is where your next chapter begins.
Please note: This role is open to female applicants only under Schedule 9, Paragraph 1 of the Equality Act 2010, as the service delivers trauma-informed support to women affected by Violence against Women and Girls (VAWG.) We are committed to equal opportunities and actively welcome applicants from all backgrounds.
About you:
- Leadership that inspires confidence, compassion, and accountability.
- A proven track record of working within a trauma-informed, PIE service — ideally with women or multiple disadvantage groups.
- Experience of leading and developing a team with a focus on quality, outcomes, and values-led delivery.
- A deep understanding of the challenges faced by women experiencing homelessness, and a commitment to feminist and anti-oppressive practice.
- Strong partnership skills and the ability to advocate for clients within complex systems.
