About the role:

This is your chance to begin a career that changes lives – starting with your own. At Single Homeless Project (SHP), we believe in developing new talent and giving you everything you need to thrive in the homelessness sector.

You will be part of a mission that helps people across London – in Lewisham, Camden, Islington and Leyton – move from crisis to stability and towards a life they can truly enjoy. From day one, you will be supported by experienced colleagues and immersed in a training programme designed to give you the skills, confidence and knowledge to succeed.

As a Trainee Project Worker/Young Person's Worker, you will be based within a project team, working directly with clients or young people to build trust, create safety and support meaningful progress. You will help people settle into the service, engage with support, develop practical life skills, manage day-to-day challenges and take steps towards greater independence. Whether you are supporting adults or young people, you will play an important role in creating a consistent, encouraging environment where people feel listened to, respected and able to move forward.

As a Trainee Floating Support Worker, you will travel across London to meet clients in their homes and communities, tackling housing issues, supporting health and wellbeing, and helping them achieve personal goals. The work is varied, fast-paced and deeply rewarding, with every shift – whether early mornings, late evenings, weekends or bank holidays – bringing the chance to see real change happen.

In return, you will be part of a comprehensive and engaging Trainee Programme, with support around you from day one. You will learn through trainee-specific workshops, formal training, reflective practice, service visits and hands-on experience alongside knowledgeable colleagues across SHP. Over the course of the traineeship, which usually runs for up to 9 months with the possibility of fast-track at 6 months, you will build skills in areas such as housing, benefits, mental health, safeguarding and recovery-focused support. As your confidence and practice grows, your salary will increase at six and nine months, recognising your development and achievements as you build a meaningful career helping people move from homelessness and crisis towards safety, stability and independence.

*We are seeking to recruit a group of trainees to form a cohort starting between August - September. 

About you:

• You do not need previous experience in homelessness, supported housing or a formal support role — what matters is your passion for people, your values, and the transferable skills you bring from your work, study or life experience.
• You can build trust with others, listen without judgement and bring patience, empathy and consistency to people who may be facing complex challenges.
• You are curious, motivated and ready to learn — open to feedback, willing to ask questions, and excited to build your confidence through training, teamwork and hands-on experience.
• You bring energy, creativity and a problem-solving mindset, with the confidence to encourage people to recognise their strengths and take positive steps towards the life they want.
• You believe people deserve to be treated with dignity, fairness and respect, and you want to be part of work that helps clients feel safer, more hopeful and more in control of their future.

About us:

We’re here for Londoners wherever they are on their journey. We start with trust, building relationships that help people feel safe, supported, and ready to move forward. Every day, we put people first in everything we do, challenging injustice and barriers that keep people from the safety, stability and opportunity they deserve. We stand alongside people as they rebuild and shape a future that feels their own. 

Joining Single Homeless Project means joining a team that’s bold, compassionate and determined to do better for the people we support and for each other. You’ll work alongside colleagues with lived experience, in a space that’s trans-inclusive, disability-friendly, and actively striving to be anti-oppressive and equitable. 

We’re not perfect, but we’re real. We listen. We learn. And we push forward, together. Because this isn’t just a job. It’s a chance to lead with empathy, spark change, and help build a London where no one is left behind.
