Are you ready to make a real, lasting difference in the lives of women facing multiple disadvantages? Join our dedicated and passionate team as a Project Worker in our Multiple Disadvantage Services across London, with multiple exciting opportunities available in Camden. This is your chance to play an essential role in empowering vulnerable individuals and helping them unlock their full potential!

As a Project Worker Multiple Disadvantage, you will be at the heart of our women’s services, offering vital, trauma-informed support in a psychologically sensitive accommodation setting. Every day, you’ll be helping our residents navigate their unique challenges and build a brighter, more independent future. From ensuring their safety and wellbeing to promoting their personal growth, your role will be a mix of compassion, action, and hope.

About the roles in our women's services in Camden:

In this rewarding role, you’ll be joining a passionate, expert team dedicated to supporting women with complex needs—including mental health challenges, substance misuse, offending behaviour, and physical health issues. By applying a gender-informed approach, you’ll ensure that every woman feels not only safe and supported, but truly empowered to take control of her journey. This is your chance to make a profound impact by providing personalized, life-changing support that helps clients develop essential independent living skills, build meaningful social connections, and access vital external services.

Each day, you’ll dive into a variety of essential tasks, from conducting thorough needs and risk assessments to developing tailored support plans that align with each woman’s unique needs. You’ll also facilitate group work and structured interventions as part of our in-house recovery programme, guiding individuals on their path to healing. Collaborating closely with external agencies, you’ll ensure that every woman receives the holistic, wraparound support she deserves, with a strong focus on both harm minimisation and long-term recovery.

Working rota: The post holders will be working two to four 12-hour shifts per week over a 5-week rota, which includes 2 out of every 5 weekends.

For roles in our women's services we ask for female only applicants. For occupational requirement reasons (exemption under the Equality Act 2010; Schedule 9 Part 1)

About you:

  • A solid understanding of person-centred approaches, harm minimisation, and trauma-informed care.
  • Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to build meaningful relationships with clients, empowering them to engage with community resources and take positive steps forward.
  • Flexibility, creativity, and resilience in working with a sometimes challenging and hard-to-engage client group.
  • Proven experience and skills in delivering highly personalised assessment and casework, support planning, goal setting, advocacy, and the ability to apply this in a caseload of clients who find it difficult to engage in formal keywork and where there are barriers to accessing statutory support.
