Our PRS Resettlement Service in Lambeth supports vulnerable individuals with the aim of addressing their support needs and tackling the obstacles preventing them from moving on to settled accommodation.

- Excellent networking skills and ability to liaise with a wide range of people, housing and service providers
- Strong negotiation skills to build and maintain new links with landlords and managing agents
- Understanding of the motivating drivers of landlords and the ability to balance these against the service's and clients needs
- Strong team-working and interpersonal skills, maintaining a collaborative approach to delivering service objectives across the wider Lambeth team.
- Understanding of the welfare benefits system and how it might impact on our clients and their housing options
- Awareness of relevant health and safety and building control regulations

**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 10,000 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.
