Specialist Health Lead

Single Homeless Project has an opportunity for a Specialist Health Lead to join our experienced and committed teams based in Camden. You will join us on a full-time, permanent basis. In return, you will receive a competitive salary starting at £34,127.11 and rising incrementally to £36,947.48 per annum. 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. We prevent homelessness, provide safe places to live and give people the opportunity to rebuild their lives and transform their futures.

About the Specialist Health Lead role: At Single Homeless Project, we believe everyone deserves access to the care they need to live well - and that's where you come in. We're offering an exciting new opportunity to shape how health support is delivered within our innovative Camden Housing First service. As Health Lead, you won't just be part of a team - you'll be pioneering a vital, human-centred approach to health within homelessness services. It's a chance to make a deep and lasting impact, not only on individual lives but on how we work with health systems across the borough.

This is a role for someone who wants to grow a meaningful career while helping others to rebuild their lives. You'll work directly with people who are often overlooked by traditional systems, taking the time to build trust, understand their needs and walk alongside them on their journey to better health. From completing health assessments and designing personal health support plans, to leading multidisciplinary meetings and opening doors to essential services - you'll be the link between individuals and the support they deserve.

Your insight will also help us map local services, influence partnerships and drive forward more inclusive healthcare approaches. You'll be part of a psychologically informed environment, where trauma-informed care and understanding complex needs are part of everyday practice. At SHP, we're committed to developing our people - this role offers a strong foundation for a career with real purpose, backed by expert training, team support and opportunities to grow with us.

About you:

• You bring knowledge (or a real willingness to learn) about common health issues and the barriers to care faced by people experiencing homelessness.
• You know how to build trust and connect with clients who may feel wary of services, finding ways to engage that genuinely work for them.
• You understand local health systems and services, and can navigate them confidently to open up the right support for clients.
• You bring experience or awareness of working with survivors of domestic abuse, with a sensitive, informed and person-centred approach.
• You're confident working independently and as part of a team, with strong skills in support planning, safeguarding, record keeping, data and reporting, and advocating for clients facing multiple disadvantage.

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.
