Single Homeless Project has an exciting opportunity for a Assertive Outreach and Transitions Worker to join our team based in Camden. You will join us on a full-time, permanent basis. In return, you will receive a competitive salary starting at £32,034.46 rising incrementally to £35,081.51 per annum. 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. About the Assertive Outreach and Transitions Worker role: Too many women are lost in the gap between being offered accommodation and feeling safe enough to accept it, trust it and stay. As our new Assertive Outreach and Transitions Worker, you ll stand alongside women at this critical point, making sure a move away from rough sleeping feels possible, supported and led by their choices. Working across the streets, community settings and our Women s Recovery Service, you ll begin building relationships with women before they move in. You ll carry out flexible, trauma-informed assessments, help remove barriers to accommodation and provide steady, practical support throughout the transition into the service. You ll also hold a small caseload of women who need a more flexible or assertive approach to remain connected, use their bedspace and sustain their accommodation. Whether you re advocating for access to health or domestic abuse support, responding to safeguarding concerns or bringing partners together around a woman, you ll balance safety with dignity, choice and voice. This is a brand new role with real scope to shape how we support women across the Camden Homeless Pathway. Your persistence, creativity and belief in women s capacity for change will help prevent avoidable evictions, reduce repeat rough sleeping and give women a stronger foundation from which to recover and move forward. At Single Homeless Project (SHP), you ll be supported through regular supervision, reflective practice and ongoing learning, with opportunities to deepen your knowledge of trauma-informed and psychologically informed approaches and develop your career within our services. This role is open to women only. This is an occupational requirement under Schedule 9, Part 1 of the Equality Act 2010 due to the nature of the service and the needs of the women we support. About you: You bring direct experience of supporting women affected by homelessness, rough sleeping and multiple disadvantage, alongside a strong understanding of women-centred practice. You know that trust is earned, not expected, and can build meaningful relationships with women whose experiences of trauma, abuse, exploitation or exclusion may make services feel unsafe. You can assess and manage risk confidently, respond to safeguarding concerns and make sound decisions without losing sight of each woman s dignity, choices and voice. You re comfortable working independently across street, community and accommodation settings, while bringing colleagues and partner services together when women need coordinated support. You re persistent, emotionally resilient and creative in your approach, with the organisation needed to manage a caseload and keep clear, timely records. Our attractive benefits package includes: A salary increase after successfully completing six month's probationary period A 37.5 hour working week including flexible working hours (core hours are 10am 4pm) in non-accommodation services 25 days annual leave, increasing annually to the maximum 30 days (plus paid Bank Holidays), A contributory pension scheme: Single Homeless Project will contribute the equivalent of 5% of your annual salary Staff Health Cash Plan and discounts scheme Comprehensive and integrated training programme designed specifically to develop the skills and knowledge involved in our work Closing date: Sunday 9th August at midnight Interview date: Tuesday 18th August at SHP Head Office in Kings Cross Please note shortlisted candidates will be required to complete a short psychometric test before being confirmed for interview.
