About the Assertive Outreach Worker role:

Sometimes, the biggest step towards stability starts with someone who refuses to give up on you. As an Assertive Outreach Worker in our Westminster Floating Support service, you'll build meaningful relationships with people experiencing multiple disadvantage, helping them overcome barriers, sustain their accommodation and take positive steps towards a more independent future.

Working across Westminster and temporary accommodation placements in other London boroughs, you'll provide intensive, flexible support to people who may be experiencing mental ill health, substance use and housing instability. Through psychologically informed and trauma-informed approaches, you'll work alongside clients to identify their goals, build confidence and access the support they need. Whether that's navigating housing challenges, improving wellbeing, engaging with treatment services or exploring employment and training opportunities, you'll help turn individual goals into meaningful progress.

You'll be part of a specialist team that believes in collaboration, creativity and doing things differently. Working closely with mental health services, substance use treatment providers, housing teams and other partners, you'll advocate for clients, challenge barriers to accessing services and ensure their voices remain central to decisions about their support. You'll also play a key role in developing person-centred support plans, managing risks and safeguarding concerns, and contributing to approaches that improve outcomes for people experiencing multiple disadvantage.

At Single Homeless Project (SHP), we're committed to helping our colleagues grow alongside the people we support. You'll have opportunities to develop your knowledge of psychologically informed practice, strengthen your skills…
