Job description

Please Note: We do not accept applications from external sites or CVs via email. Please apply through the application form on our website or via the link below.

We’re a student-focused organisation committed to creating a more inclusive and supportive university experience. With the ongoing cost-of-living crisis affecting students across the UK, access to basic essentials has never been more important. Our growing basic needs service provides support with food, toiletries, clothing, financial wellbeing, and life skills – and we’re looking for an experienced and motivated Head of Basic Needs and Partnerships to lead it.

As Head of Basic Needs and Partnerships, you’ll take strategic and operational ownership of a vital service that supports hundreds of students every week. Reporting to the Associate Director of Student Engagement, this Head of Basic Needs and Partnerships role combines leadership, partnership development, and innovation. You’ll also manage two key roles – the Basic Needs Project Coordinator and Senior Financial Wellbeing Coordinator – ensuring the team is supported, focused, and empowered to deliver high-quality services.

This Head of Basic Needs and Partnerships position is central to growing the service into a sustainable, community-powered hub. You’ll build strong relationships with external partners and donors, expand financial wellbeing and preventative programmes, and help shape initiatives like budgeting workshops, cooking sessions, and life-skills training that support students before they reach crisis point.

Key Responsibilities:

- Lead the strategic development and delivery of the basic needs service

- Line manage and support the Basic Needs Project Coordinator and Senior Financial Wellbeing Coordinator

- Build and maintain partnerships with community organisations, funders, and stakeholders

- Expand financial wellbeing and preventative support programmes

- Use data and insight to evaluate impact and improve service delivery

- Ensure services are inclusive, accessible, and aligned with student needs

- Support financial planning and long-term sustainability

Essential Criteria:

- Experience in a leadership or management role, ideally within student services, wellbeing, or community support

- Strong partnership-building and stakeholder engagement skills

- Excellent organisational and strategic planning abilities

- Experience managing staff and supporting team development

- Confidence using data to inform decisions and demonstrate impact

- A genuine passion for supporting students and tackling inequality

What we offer:

- Hybrid working options (where possible)

- A supportive and inclusive working environment

- Opportunities for professional development and progression

- The chance to make a meaningful, lasting impact on student lives

If you’re a collaborative and forward-thinking leader who enjoys leading people, building partnerships, and creating practical solutions, we’d love to hear from you.
