The team currently operates within the St. Thomas’, Guys, Kings, Maudsley and Lambeth hospitals. Guys and St. Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust is the host Trust for the team.

The KHP Homeless Health team works to ensure that patients experiencing homelessness have discharges from hospital that are as safe as possible and effective in a way that prevents re-admissions and improves long term health outcomes. The team connects patients with primary care services, mental health services and addictions support, medication concordance support, screening and vaccination services.

Job purpose
- Deliver individualised advice to patients, liaising with the necessary support agencies/authorities to achieve the best possible outcome on discharge
- Act in an advocacy role both within the clinical setting and with external agencies using the expertise of peers in a multidisciplinary team as appropriate.
- Ensure patient case notes on enoting and Emis systems are updated in a timely manner
- Carry out detailed housing assessments to help prove a patient’s homelessness, eligibility, priority for housing and local connection

We have one of the National Institute for Health Research’s biomedical research centres, established with King’s College London in 2007, as well as dedicated clinical research facilities.

We have around 22,700 staff, making us one of the largest NHS Trusts in the country and one of the biggest employers locally. We aim to reflect the diversity of the communities we serve and continue to develop new and existing partnerships with local people, patients, neighbouring NHS
