At Single Homeless Project, we believe every young person deserves the chance to build a life beyond crisis. As our Young Person’s Psychotherapist, you’ll play a vital part in making that happen. Working within our in house Psychotherapy team, you’ll provide one-to-one psychotherapy and co-produced psychoeducation groups for young people aged 16–25. Your work will focus on prevention, helping young people make sense of their experiences and build the tools to manage life’s challenges before they reach breaking point. You’ll be part of a multi-disciplinary team offering a psychologically informed service - collaborating closely with support staff, managers and other professionals to create safe, empowering spaces where young people can explore their emotions, relationships and aspirations. This is a chance to use your clinical skills where they matter most - in a dynamic organisation that’s committed to growth, reflection and learning. You’ll be supported with regular supervision, access to professional development, and opportunities to shape how psychotherapy continues to evolve across SHP. Join us, and help us break cycles, ignite change and create new possibilities for London’s young people.
