Whatever your experience in homelessness and its impact on people's lives - personal or professional - when you join the Thames Reach team as a Support Worker, we'll make the best use of all your understanding, compassion and commitment.

About us

At Thames Reach we run projects and services that help to end homelessness in London. We work directly with homeless people on the streets and in hostels.

We help people gain independence, through finding work, accessing training and engaging in volunteering opportunities.

Is our mission easy? No, but we never give up on people. Last year we helped more than 11,000 people.

About this role


Thames Reach's hostels are transitional spaces where a 24 hour staff team support people to move in, assess their needs, and quickly identify the best place for them to move on to next.
