Day Concierge – Part Time – King’s Cross

Single Homeless Project has 2 opportunities for a Day Concierge to join and work in our team in Wandsworth, Westminster. You will join us on a part-time, permanent basis and, in return, you will receive a competitive salary, fixed at £28,860 per annum (pro rata).

We’re London’s leading homelessness charity – and we get things done.  

In a city where hundreds are forced into homelessness every day, our work has never been more needed or more challenging. And we’re not shying away. We’re rolling up our sleeves to make change and helping over 10,000 Londoners every year. We prevent homelessness, provide safe places to live and give people the opportunity to rebuild their lives and transform their futures. And we never give up. 

We’re here for Londoners wherever they are on their journey. We start with trust, building relationships that help people feel safe, supported, and ready to move forward. Every day, we put people first in everything we do, challenging injustice and barriers that keep people from the safety, stability and opportunity they deserve. We stand alongside people as they rebuild and shape a future that feels their own. 

Joining Single Homeless Project means joining a team that’s bold, compassionate and determined to do better for the people we support and for each other. You’ll work alongside colleagues with lived experience, in a space that’s trans-inclusive, disability-friendly, and actively striving to be anti-oppressive and equitable. 

We’re not perfect, but we’re real. We listen. We learn. And we push forward, together. Because this isn’t just a job. It’s a chance to lead with empathy, spark change, and help build a London where no one is left behind.

About the Day Concierge role:

Join our Wandsworth accommodation service as a Day Concierge and be right at the centre of the day-to-day running of the building.
