We are SPEAR, a charity working tirelessly to end homelessness across South West London and beyond. We believe homelessness should be rare, brief, and non‑recurring, and we work every day to make that a reality. Our services include street outreach, assessment hubs, supported accommodation, and tenancy support, helping people move off the streets and into safe, secure housing. We take a person‑centred, trauma‑informed approach, building trust and supporting people to achieve long‑term stability and independence. You will be part of a passionate, skilled team dedicated to ending homelessness. We offer a supportive environment where you can grow your career while making a meaningful impact.

Alongside coordinating events, you will play a meaningful part in supporting and advocating for our clients – facilitating service user involvement groups and making sure the voices of those we work with are truly heard and valued. Building warm, trusted relationships with clients, many of whom have complex needs, will be at the heart of what you do.
