Admissions data officer jobs
After a successful Inspiring Minds Campaign that raised £50m over a 10-year period and achieved the goal of providing bursaries to 1 in 4 pupils, the Latymer Foundation is now entering a new strategic period. A new three-year strategy will sustain and grow bursary provision, driving us towards the goal of achieving needs-blind admissions, whilst positioning Latymer as the independent school that sets the global standard for access, inclusion and opportunity.
Within this context, the Head of Philanthropy will play a vital role in securing the financial resources that sustain Latymer’s sector-leading bursary programme, ensuring that talent, not financial circumstance, determines access to a life-changing Latymer education.
The Head of Philanthropy role will have a strong personal focus on major gifts fundraising, whilst overseeing all philanthropic income streams — Major Gifts, Regular Giving and Legacies.
Salary circa £75,000 per annum, dependent on experience.

Why this role exists
At YMCA Leicestershire, we believe that having a safe place to live can change a life, but only when its paired with kindness, trust and the right support.
Many of the young people we work with have experienced homelessness, instability, trauma or displacement. Some are finding independence for the first time, others are re-building their confidence and sense of security.
The Housing Officer role exists to ensure young people are never doing that alone.
As a Housing Officer at YMCA Leicestershire, you’ll play a vital part in creating homes that feel safe, respectful and empowering, while helping young people move forward at their own pace.
About the Housing Officer role
As a Housing Officer, you’ll support young people living in our Move-On and Unaccompanied Asylum-Seeking Children (UASC) accommodation. The Housing Officer role combines practical housing management with relationship-based support.
This isn’t about fixing people. It’s about noticing strengths, building confidence and offering steady, practical support when it matters most.
Key duties of the Housing Officer role
You’ll focus on the core responsibilities below (full details are available in the job description)
- Supporting young people to settle into their homes
- Providing structured housing-related support (including more intensive support within the UASC provision)
- Managing housing responsibilities such as rent, behaviour, property standards and safeguarding
- Supporting access to education, training, employment and wider services
- Building trusting relationships while maintaining clear professional boundaries
- closely with colleagues and partner agencies to achieve positive outcomes
You will be part of a supportive Housing Officer team where reflection, supervision and wellbeing are built into how we work, not as an afterthought.
An enhanced DBS check is required as part of our safer recruitment process.
About you
You don’t need to have all the answers, but you do need to care.
You’ll be a Housing Officer who:
- Treats people with dignity and respect
- Understands that behaviour often comes from experience
- Can be warm and human while holding clear professional boundaries
- Stays calm when things feel difficult
You may already be working as Housing Officer, Support Worker, Youth Worker or in a people-focused role, or you may be ready to take the next step into a Housing Officer position.
You’ll bring:
- Experience supporting young people or adults in a people focussed role
- A Level 3 qualification in Housing, Youth & Community, Social Work, Coaching or a related field (or a willingness to work towards this)
- Confidence working alongside other professionals and agencies
- Emotional resilience, flexibility and good judgement
- A full driving licence, access to a vehicle and business insurance
Why work for YMCA Leicestershire as a Housing Officer?
Because people matter here, including the people who work here.
We are a values-led charity supporting young people aged 16-25 through housing, care, wellbeing, sport and culture (including the Y Theatre, Leicester’s oldest theatre).
People chose to work here because:
- You are trusted to do meaningful work,
- Kindness and professionalism go hand in hand,
- Your development and wellbeing are genuinely supported,
- You can see the difference you make every single day.
Our vision is simple: every young person deserves a safe place to call home and the support to create lasting change.
