Our Sports and Health service is funded through a grant from external partners, to help us in engaging with those experiencing homelessness, so that they receive the health care they need.

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.

As a Health Navigator, your newly created role will focus on developing and embedding a health approach into the services the charity provides. It will involve working with and supporting those living within our services who have underlying health needs to access and maintain the physical health care they need. To complete initial health screening tools, create a health support profile plan for each client and to make referrals to and support them in engaging with the correct services (i.e. dentistry, podiatry).

The approach taken with clients will be psychologically informed, incorporating an understanding of Personality Disorder, complex trauma and addiction. The outcomes for your role, include developing positive and sustained relationships of trust with clients, supporting them to engage in health care support and see an improvement in their overall physical health.

To be successful, you will have:

- A knowledge of (or willingness to learn) about common health issues and the barriers to health access that people experiencing homelessness may encounter
- Ability to find ways to engage and develop relationships with clients who may have a low level of interaction with and/or suspicious of services.
- Good understanding of local level health set up/services i.e. homeless health providers and teams.
- Skills and understanding of creating and monitoring support plans and record-keeping with regards to client support, safety and safeguarding issues.
- The ability to advocate for and coordinate access to health care for clients with experience of homelessness

**Closing date: 22nd January 2023 (at Midnight)**
**Interview date: 31st January 2023**

**This post will require an Enhanced DBS check to be processed for the successful applicant.**

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
