This is a fantastic opportunity to join a charity on a mission to improve the lives of young people in London. Last year, London Youth worked with over 27,000 young people through their sports development, employability, youth action, arts and outdoor education programmes. Their membership network of over 500 community youth organisations supported thousands more. Together they create opportunities for young people they would not otherwise have had.
Throughout London Youth's history, community youth organisations have provided a constant lifeline and a vital safe space outside the family and formal education. London Youth's vision today is that all young Londoners grow up healthy and safe, able to express themselves, navigate a fulfilling career and make a positive contribution in their communities. Their mission is to support and challenge young people to become the best they can be: developing their confidence, resilience, and relationship skills.
To continue their path to reach as many young people as possible London Youth are now looking for a dynamic and entrepreneurial Head of Corporate Partnerships on a permanent basis.
The organisation's growth to date has been driven by their expertise in fundraising from Trusts and Foundations. Now, London Youth are keen to diversify their fundraising efforts and grow income from Corporate Partnerships, Mid-High Net Worth Individuals and through Legacies. From a good financial base, the intention is to invest and support this growth and protect their long-term sustainability.
In this newly created role of Head of Corporate Partnerships you will be required to develop and deliver a Corporate fundraising strategy that will drive growth and significantly increase income. You will proactively identify and secure new partnerships and provide excellent account management to current partners.
To be considered for this position you will have demonstrable experience of income generation through Corporate Fundraising, with a proven track record in securing multiyear, strategic 5-6 figure donations. You will need to have previously developed and executed a Corporate Fundraising strategy and have the ability to develop strong relationships with high level decision makers.
Closing date for applications: We are working on a rolling recruitment, so please get in touch ASAP.
London Youth wants to reflect the population they serve at senior level and as such are keen to hear from candidates from marginalised communities.
