Health Events Co-ordinator

WHO WE ARE

We are SPEAR, a charity working tirelessly to end homelessness across South West London and beyond. We believe homelessness should be rare, brief, and non‑recurring, and we work every day to make that a reality. Our services include street outreach, assessment hubs, supported accommodation, and tenancy support, helping people move off the streets and into safe, secure housing. We take a person‑centred, trauma‑informed approach, building trust and supporting people to achieve long‑term stability and independence.

You will be part of a passionate, skilled team dedicated to ending homelessness. We offer a supportive environment where you can grow your career while making a meaningful impact.

We are looking for a passionate and organised individual to join our team as a Health Link Events Co‑ordinator. This is a varied and rewarding role where you will plan and deliver community health day events across SW London boroughs, bringing together NHS partners, community organisations, and volunteers to improve health outcomes for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness.

Alongside coordinating events, you will play a meaningful part in supporting and advocating for our clients – facilitating service user involvement groups and making sure the voices of those we work with are truly heard and valued. Building warm, trusted relationships with clients, many of whom have complex needs, will be at the heart of what you do.

We are looking for someone who is empathetic, non‑judgmental, and trauma‑informed, with a genuine commitment to social justice and making a difference. You will be an effective communicator and skilled coordinator, able to manage multiple priorities, support and inspire volunteers, and build strong working relationships with a wide range of partners. Resilience, adaptability, and a person‑centred approach are essential.
