The Kensington + Chelsea Foundation is an independent local charity which was founded in 2008 to tackle the key inequalities in our community. While our borough is often associated with wealth and affluence, it also has areas of severe deprivation. Nearly one third of children in K+C are eligible for Free School Meals, life expectancy between residents from different wards varies by nearly two decades, and in-work poverty has increased by 46% since 2020.

Our vision is of a borough where all residents have the opportunity to live happy, healthy, fulfilled lives. To achieve this vision, we identify and fund impactful local projects which improve the lives and life chances of our most vulnerable and disadvantaged residents. Alongside this longer-term work, we also play a key role in responding to emergencies in our community, such as the tragedy at Grenfell Tower and the Covid-19 pandemic. The K+C Foundation is now in an exciting phase of growth, and we want to increase our profile, our income and, most importantly, our impact.

The Community Engagement + Grants Officer plays a key role in our grants team which is  responsible for all aspects of our grantmaking, as well as actively building long-lasting relationships with the local voluntary sector and wider community.

In recent years, we have adopted a participatory approach for distributing our larger funds, which means decisions around funding are delegated to panels of local residents who have lived experience of the issues we are trying to tackle. 

The Community Engagement + Grants Officer supports the Senior Grant Manager with the delivery of all of our larger grant rounds, as well as managing our small grants programme and donor-led grants. It is a busy and varied role, with opportunities to develop your skills and experience in a small and supportive team.

The role of BOP spans project development (working with Government and others to design and launch the service), project management (coordinating the delivery phase, managing performance, and liaising with the various stakeholders) and project finance (funding the project until it starts to earn outcomes payments). Our own funding comes from a group of pioneering social investors, including The Office for Civil Society, Big Society Capital, Pilotlight, Trust for London, who, like us, are motivated by improving lives and changing the system for the better.

We bring together voluntary, community and public sector organisations to deliver joined-up, holistic and preventative support. Through our central hub and delivery partners, we ensure people can access the right support at the right time, without having to repeat their story.

Our work is grounded in a strengths-based and trauma-informed approach. We focus on people’s assets, aspirations and choices — not just the challenges they face. We are committed to working collaboratively, promoting dignity, and improving long-term outcomes for individuals and communities.

We believe that people with lived experience and people who reflect the communities we serve bring essential insight, skills and leadership. We actively welcome applications from individuals with these experiences and from groups currently under-represented in the housing and homelessness workforce.

Role Outline

The role will work on the Pathfinder project which works across Greater Manchester to prevent young people from becoming homeless. The purpose of this role is to increase access to high-quality private rented sector accommodation in order to improve opportunities for participants to secure suitable and sustainable housing.

You will work across Greater Manchester to build and maintain strong relationships with private landlords, improving access to accommodation for frontline delivery teams and the young people they work alongside. You will also work collaboratively with colleagues across GMBOP and related programmes, such as Kirklees Better Outcomes Partnership (KBOP), to share expertise, learning and best practice, helping to strengthen housing pathways and maximise impact across the wider partnership.

This role plays an important part in ensuring housing pathways are aligned with our strengths-based approach — supporting young people to move into accommodation that reflects their aspirations, promotes independence, and contributes to long-term stability.

• Increasing the number and diversity of landlords engaged and wanting to work with the project

• Building positive, collaborative relationships with landlords to create seamless housing and support pathways

• Ensuring accommodation secured through the project meets appropriate housing standards

• Attending landlord networking events to promote the project and explain available incentives

• Maintaining ongoing, constructive communication with landlords during tenancies to support positive outcomes for both landlords and participants

• Contributing to marketing and promotional activity to widen the programme’s reach and impact

What Are We Looking For?

We are particularly interested in people who:

• Share our commitment to strengths-based, trauma-informed and person-centred ways of working

• Are motivated by preventing youth homelessness and improving long-term outcomes

• Build relationships based on trust, respect and collaboration

• Bring curiosity, creativity and a solution-focused mindset

We recognise that relevant experience can come from many different settings, including work, volunteering, community activity and lived experience.

Essential

• Commitment to strengths-based and trauma-informed practice

• Desire to contribute to an innovative, impact-led project

• Strong interpersonal skills and ability to build rapport with a wide range of stakeholders

• Ability to work independently and manage competing priorities

• Problem-solving and analytical thinking

• Ability to plan and organise your work effectively

• Accuracy and attention to detail

• Strong written and verbal communication skills

• Ability to work collaboratively within a partnership environment
