Join us in building safer communities and empowering people across the UK.

The Upper Room has been supporting homeless, financially and socially disadvantaged people since the 1990's. Its services have evolved greatly over time to now include free, home-cooked meals together with a wide range of support to help people with legal, benefits, housing and employment issues.

We have secured some funding to help homeless and other disadvantaged people into and through cancer screening - something many of them don't think they qualify for or are even afraid to step forward for. Even though it's a proven life-saver for millions of people.

We are looking for someone with basic IT skills but most importantly great people skills, who can undertake a short survey with our service users and when someone fits some basic qualifying criteria encourage them to step forward for screening. Once someone is happy to step forward, the role becomes one of practical support, such as helping to register with a GP if they don't have one, helping with appointments, arranging temporary accommodation in hotels and arranging transport too and from hospital appointments.

We're looking for someone who is organised with good people and communication skills. The survey can be fully undertaken via a mobile phone or laptop, so is quite an easy thing to undertake. But what will help most in this role is patience, empathy and compassion. We hope to start someone as soon as possible and will require a DBS and references (as well as the right to work in the UK). Health or social care experience is advantageous but not essential. Our service runs from 4pm to 6pm Monday to Friday - so these would be the normal working hours - although we can accommodate some flexibility for the right candidate. The role will be on-site so candidates must live within a short commute of W12.
