At Single Homeless Project (SHP), we believe lasting change is possible, and as a Project Worker in our Services in Camden, you will be at the heart of making that change happen. You will work closely with people facing multiple challenges - from mental and physical health issues to substance use, histories of trauma and offending behaviour - offering the kind of personalised, holistic support that helps them take control of their futures.
Grounded in a Biopsychosocial model and a Psychologically Informed Environment, you will create safe, supportive spaces where recovery, resilience and new possibilities can take root.
No two days in this role are the same. You might be developing tailored support plans, facilitating group activities, or building the skills and confidence that enable clients to strengthen relationships, expand their social networks and take steps towards independence. You will champion harm minimisation and recovery, while also working alongside a range of professionals to ensure that care is truly integrated and responsive to each individual.
Every interaction offers the chance to influence positive change, not only for the clients you support but for the wider communities they are part of.
Joining SHP is more than just taking on a role – it’s stepping into a career where your growth is as important as the progress you help others achieve. We are committed to developing our staff, equipping you with the skills and opportunities to advance while making a meaningful impact on the lives of Londoners experiencing homelessness. Here, your commitment and resilience will not only shape futures but also strengthen an organisation that is determined to end homelessness for good.
About you:- You have experience supporting people facing multiple challenges, such as substance use, mental health issues, trauma, or offending histories.
- You can carry out assessments, create support plans and manage a caseload in a way that is tailored to each individual.
- You understand the barriers that can prevent people from moving towards independence and have the skills to help them overcome these.
- You stay calm and effective in a crisis, with the confidence to respond to difficult situations safely and constructively.
- You believe in people’s strengths and potential, and ideally have experience working within a Psychologically Informed Environment.
- You are organised, able to manage your time well and can balance independent working with being a supportive team member.

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.
