Work with us

Join our team today! We’re looking for compassionate professionals to help us end homelessness in Southend.

Everyday we’re ending homelessness.

You don’t need years of experience to make a difference here. For most of our roles, what matters most isn’t what’s on your CV — it’s your attitude, your willingness to learn, and your ability to see the person in front of you. If you’ve got compassion, an open mind, and the drive to help someone take that next step, you’ve already got what we’re looking for.

The rest we can teach you. What we can’t teach is the kind of heart that gets you out of bed wanting to make someone’s day a little bit better. Whether that’s helping someone open their first bank account, supporting them into a home, or simply being a familiar face they can trust — those moments are what this work is all about.

Listen to Charlie, one of our team, talk about what it’s really like to work at HARP and why seeing someone’s journey unfold is the best part of the job.

You can also take our quiz – could you be a support worker?

Benefits of working at HARP

“What I love about my job is how rewarding it is when you’ve been working with someone towards a goal and it actually happens. This could be something simple like opening a bank account. Seeing this journey is the best part of the job.”
