About the role:
This is a hands-on, relationship-led role supporting people experiencing homelessness alongside complex needs to stabilise their lives and move forward. As a Project Worker, you’ll work directly with residents across multiple sites in Lewisham (Brockley and New Cross), offering consistent, practical support that recognises people’s mental health needs while building confidence and routine. You’ll be present through the day-to-day, responding to what’s in front of you and helping people take meaningful steps at their own pace.
You’ll carry out in-depth assessments, manage risk alongside residents, and work together to set clear, achievable goals. From developing living skills and strengthening relationships, to supporting access to health services, education, training or work, your focus will be on progress that lasts. You’ll also play a key role in housing management, supporting people to sustain their accommodation, manage income, reduce arrears and prepare for their next move towards greater independence.
Alongside direct support, you’ll help shape a safe, calm and well-run environment where people can focus on change. You’ll work closely with colleagues and partner agencies, contribute to a 24-hour rota and bring resilience, creativity and compassion to each shift. This is a role for someone who wants to step in, take responsibility and grow their practice in a service that values initiative and backs its people. We back our staff to develop, take ownership and shape their future at SHP. Bring your values and ambition, and we’ll invest in you to build a career that makes a lasting impact.
About you:
- You’re compassionate, non-judgemental and genuinely motivated to support people to move forward, meeting them where they are and respecting their lived experience.
- You bring resilience, creativity and a calm head, staying steady and solution-focused when situations are complex or unpredictable.
- You believe in recovery-led, collaborative working and enjoy building strong, trusting relationships with people and partners alike.
- You treat everyone with kindness, fairness and dignity, and take pride in creating inclusive, welcoming spaces.
- You’re committed to learning and growth, open to training, reflection and supervision, and keen to develop your practice over time.
About us:
We’re London’s leading homelessness charity – and we get things done.
In a city where hundreds are forced into homelessness every day, our work has never been more needed or more challenging. And we’re not shying away. We’re rolling up our sleeves to make change and helping over 10,000 Londoners every year. We prevent homelessness, provide safe places to live and give people the opportunity to rebuild their lives and transform their futures. And we never give up.
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.

Hi, I live at Cherrywood I have lived here for 15 years. I live in a bungalow with my other 3 friends. I love a takeaway on a Saturday night and GBX on with the disco lights. I also like when my mum and dad come to visit a couple of days a week.
I enjoy going to concerts and days out on the minibus. I love my music, I prefer dance tunes. I also enjoy my music class on a Thursday, my aromatherapy on a Monday and I like to bake and help staff to make the dinner. I feel very special when I am involved.
When it comes to supporting me, I require someone who can support me, chat to me and make me feel comfortable. I also require all aspects of personal care; I love a bath with my bath bombs and I like this to be an activity like a pamper session therefore you must have patience and lots of time to spend with me.
Don’t worry if you don’t have prior experience, you will work with experienced staff, and training will be given. All I want is a good listener, and someone who is compassionate.

Hi, I’m Max and I live in De Paul House. Having a full flat to myself, which is one of the 9 flats, in the project gives me my own space and I have the option to come to communal areas if I want to, so it is a good balance.
As a young adult who has experienced trauma and adverse childhood experiences, including separation and loss this at times has caused me to display what others see as challenging behaviour. I would like to grow and gain independent living skills which include managing money, shopping and cooking skills, managing my health, building my training and employability skills and addressing any addictive behaviours.
To achieve this I would like someone to support me by helping me to access resources like mental, physical and sexual health services, create budget plans and weekly shopping lists, help me keep my flat tidy and laundry up to date, access addiction services, offer me weekly flat checks and monthly key sessions and support me to recognise my own potential and self worth through self-esteem building achievements.
Are you ready to make a real difference to me and people like me?
To ensure 24 hour support is provided to the people we support the role of project worker does include sleepovers, weekend working and shift work which includes a mixture of early and late shifts.

Help transform lives like J’s.
Hi, I’m J and I reside in the Beacon House Project with 7 other people. I have a learning disability, and physical conditions which affect my health.
I love music and it is a special interest of mine. I enjoy taking part in music class, listening to music and playing my guitar.
I like to be the boss, and I regularly attend my club at the Glenburn where I help the staff, play bingo and have a nice lunch.
I am a huge Celtic fan and season ticket holder; I love to watch the games whether it be at Celtic Park or by watching on TV.
When it comes to supporting me, I require someone who can support me to do all the things I enjoy, share my good morals and values and promote my independence. I enjoy having a bit of banter and good conversation.
Are you ready to make a real difference to me and people like me?

The vacancy
We are looking for a Self-Employed Independent Parent Advocate(s) to provide independent and confidential advocacy to parents with children subject to a child protection plan and parents of looked after children under the age of 18 years.
The role of the parent advocate is to support parents to positively engage with professionals from third sector and statutory organisations to resolve issues that are negatively impacting their family.
You will have direct responsibility for a case load and will enable parents to make effective use of policies or complaints procedures by providing information, support, and advice.
You will empower parents to achieve positive outcomes and help them deal with issues that are affecting their families.
To be considered you must have significant experience of direct work with parents and families.
For more information, please view the attached contract delivery specification.

You will be able to subscribe to an e-learning platform provided by NYAS. The platform will provide you with the opportunity to undertake a number of other professional courses that you can complete in your own time to maintain your own CPD.
