About the role:
This is frontline leadership at its most real. As Team Managers in Camden s Rough Sleeping Outreach Service, you ll lead from the front of a service that meets people where they are on the streets, in hotspots and through the hub building trust, responding quickly and helping people move towards safety and stability.
You ll be holding a fast-moving, complex service together day to day. That means overseeing outreach activity, shaping how the team responds to changing demand, and making sure people aren t passed around but supported through a joined-up, No Wrong Door approach. You ll guide staff through high-risk and high-pressure situations, keeping practice psychologically informed, trauma-informed and focused on what actually works for people experiencing multiple disadvantage. Alongside this, you ll play a key role in coordinating Camden s response to severe weather, working with partners to act quickly when it matters most.
These are roles where your leadership is visible and felt. You ll build a team culture that is reflective, accountable and resilient, where staff feel supported to do challenging work well and keep standards high. At SHP, this is also a role that grows you. You ll deepen your leadership in a complex, borough-wide service, strengthen your system influence and open up clear pathways into senior operational roles.
About you:
* You ve led frontline teams in homelessness, outreach or services supporting people experiencing multiple disadvantage, and you know how to keep things moving in a fast-paced environment
* You bring a calm, decisive approach to risk and safeguarding, with the confidence to guide others through complex, high-pressure situations
* You understand trauma-informed and psychologically informed practice and can embed this in how your team works day to day
* You re confident working across services and agencies, building relationships that actually get things done for clients
* You use data, insight and what you re seeing on the ground to make decisions and improve how a service operates
About us:
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.
