Salary: £33,000 FTE plus bonus based on achieving fundraising targets.

Hours:   0.6 days (22.5 hours)

Location: 80% Remote - 20% Based in Hammersmith.

                                       Equipment will be provided where required.

Start date: August 2021 (start date can be negotiable for the right candidate)

Role:

This post holder is responsible for developing and leading a dynamic and exciting new consortium, SYNC (Hammersmith and Fulham Youth Consortium Ltd.) which was set up in 2020 and has 30+ members.

SYNC was established as a non-profit trading subsidiary of Young H&F and exists to support collaboration, partnership working and co-design of services for children and young people. There is a core focus on winning grants and contracts through the Local Authority, large scale trusts and foundations and other agencies.

The consortium has already started bidding on several large contracts/grants, and the post holder should be confident and ready to continue this work. Bids are expected to be targeted to at least £100,000+, with a target of raising £1.5million over three years (end of 2023).

Background to the role:

SYNC is the specialist voluntary sector youth consortium for Hammersmith and Fulham. (SYNC stands for Supporting Youth and New Collaborations).

Our vision is for a happier, healthier and safer Hammersmith & Fulham. Young H&F brings together youth organisations, businesses, public sector, schools, funders and the wider community to create opportunities for young people.

The goal of the consortium is to safeguard and grow high quality local youth sector provision across the borough, through working with children and young people’s organisations to co-design services, creating a single point of contracting, and by bidding and tendering competitively for public service contracts and large-scale grants.

The consortium is designed to overcome the barriers that smaller providers typically face in trying to access large scale contracts and grants, such as lack of scale and capacity, not being able to meet the required pre-qualification thresholds, lack of contacts and visibility.

Critically, what will guide and govern the consortium’s work throughout will be an unswerving commitment to the needs of the children and young people who are the end-users of the services and initiatives provided through the borough-wide network of members.  All decisions about consortium strategy, financial objectives, joint working etc will be taken from the standpoint of ensuring that local children and young people’s needs are effectively met.
