The post holder will manage and develop youth-led community projects in which young people develop their leadership and employability skills through becoming actively involved in their community and participating in self-directed community action. The successful candidate will oversee the development and delivery of several youth-led community projects, primarily the organisation of youth-led community events, but might also include elements of other youth-led activities, such as youth action team, health champions and ambassadors. 

For example, typically, this would involve working with groups of around 10 young people in each cohort and support them to deliver their community event project over a 12-week period.  Examples of events include youth-led football tournaments, street parties and our community Christmas dinner. This post will be part of the delivery team overseeing self-directed community action projects. The post holder may also support drop-in sessions and other activities aimed at engaging young people and referring them onto the youth-led community action programme.

We are elated to be to offer this part time post and continue the social action work with young people.

You can find the role description and persocal spec below. 

To apply, please submit your CV and a cover letter (no more then two sides) explaining your experience and why you are suited. 

Furnishing Futures is an innovative charity creating fully furnished, healing homes for survivors of domestic abuse who have been rehoused in empty social housing. We do this by partnering with the interiors industry, which donates high quality furniture and homeware that could otherwise end up in landfill.

We are looking for a dynamic Events and Retail Manager. You’ll be working closely with our CEO and Head of Partnerships and Fundraising to develop and deliver a varied and inclusive events programme and run our sales space, The Atrium, adjacent to our warehouse in East London E10. Our events will center around our key programming pillars; sustainability, design, wellbeing, women’s empowerment, social housing and social justice.

If you're passionate about our work, solution-focused and organised, with experience in events and sales we'd love to hear from you. We particularly welcome applications from people from all marginalised groups, communities and backgrounds.

You Make It Brand Partnerships Manager (Part-time)

Are you a dynamic sales and business development professional with a passion for social impact? Ready to leverage your skills to empower young women and create lasting change? Join our small, dedicated team and work closely with our Founder CEO to build meaningful partnerships that truly make a difference.

This isn't just about growth; it's about growing our capacity to transform lives. You'll secure vital brand collaborations, generate income, and create invaluable mentorships and work experiences that directly benefit our program participants. Imagine developing innovative strategies, building on incredible existing partnerships (like Nike Jordan!), and seeing the direct impact of your work.

If you have a proven track record in strategic partnerships, sales/ business development, and for hitting financial targets, ideally for social impact causes, we want to hear from you! Bring your exceptional relationship-building skills, creative mindset, and passion for justice to a role where your work truly matters in a world that can feel and is unfair to so many. 

We offer a wonderful work-life balance (part-time, hybrid, flex time), accelerated growth opportunities, invested professional development, and a strong well-being focus (therapy/wellness allowance).
