Home-based Senior practitioner (Permanent) in London

Single Homeless Project has an exciting opportunity for a Senior Practitioner to join our team based in Camden, London. You will join us on a full-time, permanent basis. In return, you will receive a competitive salary starting at £32,034.46 rising incrementally to £35,081.51 per annum.

We are 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. We prevent homelessness, provide safe places to live and give people the opportunity to rebuild their lives and transform their futures.

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.

About the Senior Practitioner role:

• Young people need skilled, steady adults who can stay curious, hold hope and help others see the person behind the risk.
• As Senior Practitioner, you’ll help shape the quality of frontline practice in Camden Young Person’s High Support Accommodation Service.
• This is a practice leadership role, not a line management role.
• You’ll hold a caseload where required, contribute to reflective practice and case discussions, and model trauma informed, psychologically informed and strengths-based ways of working.
• You’ll also help young people access the right support at the right time, working with partners across social care, CAMHS, youth offending, health, substance use and accommodation pathways.

About you:

• You bring strong experience of complex casework with young people.
• You can coach and guide colleagues without needing formal line management authority.
• You understand trauma, safeguarding, non-engagement, exploitation, mental health and the realities young people may face in high support accommodation.
• You are a strong communicator who can record clearly, share information safely and work well with partners.
• You are reflective, organised and solution focused.

Our attractive benefits package includes:

• A salary increase after successfully completing six month’s probationary period.
• A 37.5 hour working week including flexible working hours (core hours are 10am – 4pm) in non-accommodation services.
• 25 days annual leave, increasing annually to the maximum 30 days (plus paid Bank Holidays).
• A contributory pension scheme: Single Homeless Project will contribute the equivalent of 5% of your annual salary.
• Staff Health Cash Plan and discounts scheme.
• Comprehensive and integrated training programme designed specifically to develop the skills and knowledge involved in our work.

This post will require an Enhanced DBS check to be processed (by SHP) for the successful applicant.

Single Homeless Project is actively committed to equal opportunities and the promotion of diversity and inclusion, in all of our services and workplaces.
