Single Homeless Project has an opportunity for a Outreach Worker to join and work in our team based in Camden . You will join us on a full time, permanent basis and in return, you will receive a competitive salary starting at £33,133.12 and rising incrementally to £35,871.35 per annum. About the role: At the heart of Camden s response to street homelessness, the Rough Sleeping Outreach & Hub Service works across streets, transport hubs and a central support hub to ensure that no one is left facing rough sleeping alone. This is an integrated, borough-wide service focused on early engagement, reducing harm and supporting people to move away from the streets towards safety, accommodation and longer-term stability. As an Outreach Worker, you ll be a consistent and trusted presence for people sleeping rough or at risk of rough sleeping. Working flexibly across street outreach and hub-based support on a rota basis, you ll build meaningful relationships, carry out trauma-aware assessments and coordinate practical support that helps people take their next steps. You ll work within a 'No Wrong Door' approach, supporting people wherever and however they engage. That might mean meeting someone early in the morning on outreach, supporting them to access the hub later that day, or working alongside partners to remove barriers that have kept them excluded in the past.

The work can be unpredictable and includes early, late and weekend shifts as part of a 7-day rota but you won t be doing it alone.

About you: You re motivated by helping people move away from harm and towards stability. You understand that progress isn t always linear, and you bring patience, persistence and empathy to your work. You use a trauma-informed, strengths-based approach and can stay calm and professional when situations are complex. You balance compassion with clear boundaries and use your judgement to manage risk and safeguarding effectively. You work well in a fast-moving environment. You can manage competing priorities, work independently in the community and keep clear, accurate records that support continuity and accountability. You value partnership and collaboration. You re confident working alongside housing, health, substance use and community safety services to deliver joined-up support and meaningful outcomes. You re flexible and reliable, and comfortable working across a rota that includes early and late shifts, evenings and weekends. You re open to working both on outreach and within a hub setting, adapting to service need while keeping people at the centre of what you do.
