About role:
Step into a role where your work makes a powerful difference every single day. As a Project Worker for Complex Needs at our new Harrow Road Assessment Hub in Westminster, you'll be part of an inspiring team at the forefront of change - supporting people as they take their first steps away from rough sleeping. Westminster has some of the highest levels of rough sleeping in the UK, and this innovative service offers short-stay, intensive support for people who may not have a local connection but are in urgent need of stability, care and a chance to rebuild. It's fast-paced, human-centred, and deeply impactful.
This is more than just a job - it’s a launchpad for a career in frontline services where you’ll develop a rich mix of skills, from trauma-informed support to multi-agency collaboration. You’ll guide people through rapid assessment and into safe, appropriate accommodation - whether that’s reconnecting them to services in other areas or helping them settle into new housing and support networks. Every day, you'll help navigate real challenges - like immigration, healthcare access, or welfare systems - and you'll see the impact of your work unfold as people regain their footing and move forward.
At Single Homeless Project (SHP), we believe in growing talent from within. This role opens the door to continuous professional development and progression across our diverse services. If you're looking for a career that challenges you, grows you, and gives you purpose, this is your opportunity to start something meaningful.
About you:
2. Experience of supporting vulnerable people, ideally those affected by homelessness or multiple disadvantage.
3. Strong communication and organisational skills.
4. Empathy, resilience, and a commitment to person-centred working.
5. Ability to manage a fast-paced environment and prioritise effectively.
6. Willingness to work flexibly, including early, late, and weekend shifts on a rota.

We offer you more than a job; we offer you a chance to be part of a compassionate, driven team that's committed to making a real difference in people's lives. You'll have the opportunity to lead, co-create, and inspire change while enjoying a collaborative, growth-oriented environment.
Join us in creating a brighter, more hopeful future for individuals in need.
