For those affected by homelessness, accessing essential healthcare and wellbeing support can feel impossible. At Providence Row, we work to change this by providing crisis support, health interventions, and pathways into long-term stability. We believe that everyone deserves a safe, healthy, and sustainable future.

About the role 

As our Health Access & Outreach Coordinator, you’ll be at the forefront of a project designed to improve healthcare accessibility for rough sleepers and those struggling with health inequalities. You will:

• Lead outreach across multiple boroughs, engaging rough sleepers and connecting them to essential services.
• Work with peer health mentors to foster trust and improve service engagement.
• Build strong partnerships with NHS providers, housing services, and harm reduction teams.
• Help individuals navigate healthcare systems, including GP registration, mental health referrals, and substance misuse treatment.
• Organise and expand our award-winning Health & Wellness Fairs, bringing crucial healthcare services to those who need them most.
• Reduce A&E admissions by embedding preventative care measures and early intervention strategies.

This is an opportunity to be part of a dynamic and innovative project, reaching people in boroughs we have never worked in so extensively before.

The ideal candidate

We are seeking someone with:

• Experience developing and managing health & wellbeing initiatives, particularly within primary care or homelessness services.
• A passion for outreach and community engagement, with a deep understanding of the barriers faced by homeless individuals and health inequalities.
• The ability to forge strong partnerships and collaborate with multi-agency teams.
• Excellent communication and problem-solving skills, with a proactive and compassionate approach.
• The flexibility to work on the ground, meeting people where they are—this is not a desk-based role!

Benefits

• Be part of an innovative and expanding project.
• Work for a well-respected charity that has been transforming lives for over 150 years.
• Enjoy a comprehensive benefits package, including:
  • 27 days holiday + bank holidays
  • Pension scheme
  • Cycle-to-work scheme
  • Season ticket loan
  • Employee Assistance Programme
  • Access to training & development opportunities
  • Monthly reflective practice
