Senior Outreach Worker - Redbridge

SINGLE HOMELESS PROJECT
£31,101 - £34,059 a year
City of London, England
4 weeks ago

About the role:

Join Single Homeless Project (SHP) as a Senior Outreach Worker and become a driving force in our dynamic response to homelessness. This is more than just a job – it’s a chance to play a key leadership role within a forward-thinking outreach service that blends assertive street engagement with holistic, trauma-informed support. Working as part of a diverse and passionate team in Redbridge, you’ll be right at the centre of a service that partners closely with local authorities, health professionals, housing specialists, and immigration and substance use services to help individuals make meaningful, lasting moves away from life on the streets.

In this role, you’ll lead outreach shifts across the borough, support a dedicated team of Outreach Workers, and take on a focused caseload of people facing some of the most complex challenges. You’ll collaborate closely with Navigators who provide longer-term case management, ensuring each person’s journey off the street is consistent, compassionate and coordinated.

Whether you're out connecting with clients or working alongside partner agencies to shape local strategy, your influence will be felt at every level. This is a unique opportunity to grow your career within an organisation that invests in its people and champions innovation in homelessness support. You'll be empowered to use your skills, experience and insight to make a tangible difference; both in the lives of those we support and in the systems that serve them.

About you:

  • Experienced in working with people who are rough sleeping or at risk of street homelessness.
  • Confident leading shifts and mentoring others.
  • Knowledgeable about homelessness pathways, safeguarding, and systemic challenges.
  • Skilled in partnership working, ideally with statutory and voluntary sector agencies.
  • Calm under pressure, with strong problem-solving skills.
  • Passionate about social justice and committed to SHP’s values of hope, inclusion, and transformation.

About us:

Single Homeless Project is a London-wide charity. Our vision is of a society where everyone has a place to call home and the chance to live a fulfilling life.

We help single Londoners by preventing homelessness, providing support and accommodation, promoting wellbeing, enhancing opportunity, and being a voice for change. From supporting people in crisis to helping people take the final steps towards independence and employment, we make a difference to 12,000 lives every year across all 32 boroughs.

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.
