As a Project Worker Multiple Disadvantage, you will be at the heart of our women’s services, offering vital, trauma-informed support in a psychologically sensitive accommodation setting.

About the roles in our women's services in Camden:

In this rewarding role, you’ll be joining a passionate, expert team dedicated to supporting women with complex needs—including mental health challenges, substance misuse, offending behaviour, and physical health issues. By applying a gender-informed approach, you’ll ensure that every woman feels not only safe and supported, but truly empowered to take control of her journey. This is your chance to make a profound impact by providing personalized, life-changing support that helps clients develop essential independent living skills, build meaningful social connections, and access vital external services.

Each day, you’ll dive into a variety of essential tasks, from conducting thorough needs and risk assessments to developing tailored support plans that align with each woman’s unique needs. You’ll also facilitate group work and structured interventions as part of our in-house recovery programme, guiding individuals on their path to healing.

About you:

• A solid understanding of person-centred approaches, harm minimisation, and trauma-informed care.

• Flexibility, creativity, and resilience in working with a sometimes challenging and hard-to-engage client group.
• Proven experience and skills in delivering highly personalised assessment and casework, support planning, goal setting, advocacy, and the ability to apply this in a caseload of clients who find it difficult to engage in formal keywork and where there are barriers to accessing statutory support.

About us:

We help single Londoners by preventing homelessness, providing support and accommodation, promoting wellbeing, enhancing opportunity, and being a voice for change.

We are seeking a self-motivated Member Support and Administrative Assistant to play a key role in our friendly team. The successful candidate will liaise with colleagues across the organisation focused on membership, communications, marketing and delivery, and as a result get invaluable insight into these functions. Once established in post the successful candidate will also benefit from our nine-day fortnight working pattern (providing a long weekend twice a month).

Background Information

The PSHE Association is the national body for the school subject of PSHE (personal, social, health and economic) education. We are a charity and membership organisation that supports a national network of over 50,000 teachers and schools with resources, training and support. PSHE lessons cover some of the most pressing issues facing young people today including mental and physical health, relationships, staying safe online, economic wellbeing, careers and the importance of equality and diversity.

Terms of Reference

The post is offered on a full time basis, on a permanent contract with a six-month probationary period. The salary will be £24,000.

At the PSHE Association, we believe in a healthy work-life balance. That is why we offer a nine-day fortnight working pattern, giving our team every other Friday off (in other words a long weekend twice a month). We believe this gives employees more time to recharge and more time for what matters to them. This shorter working week benefit (equivalent to 32 hours per week on full pay) kicks in once employees have successfully completed three months of their probationary period, with a standard 35-hour working week in place up until that point. 

Our offices are based in central London, close to Russell Square, and this is where the role will be primarily based alongside some days working from home.

We are an equal opportunities employer.

The applicant will be expected to take on a variety of responsibilities associated with supporting our national membership of PSHE education teachers and other professionals.

The role will also include supporting the organisation and administration of the office, including processing memberships and payments, and maintaining and updating our database of contacts, supporting online training event bookings and logistics as well as supporting the team as required.

Please see the attached Job Description and Person Specification for more details.
