It’s therefore an exciting time to join the Legacy and In-Memory fundraising team.

At Battersea, we value expertise. We recognise each candidate that applies to us will have a range of expertise they can offer us, so we want to hear about this in your own words. We understand the support that generative artificial intelligence (AI) software can offer but it can also lead to numerous applications presenting as generic and impersonal.

Who are The Outrunners?

The Outrunners are a running and movement charity based in Hackney, on a mission to empower young people through movement. Backed by an incredible crew of volunteers and partner brands like Nike and Moju, we help young people in East London to build confidence, wellbeing, health and leadership skills.

We deliver free, fun, sociable, youth‑led running and movement sessions for 8–18 year olds every week - during term time and holidays. But we’re about more than just running. We also create space for young people to explore creativity and culture, go on exciting trips, access wraparound wellbeing support, and develop the skills and opportunities they need to shape the futures they want.

Over the past five years, we’ve supported thousands of young people and helped push greater diversity within the running world.

We like to do things differently - taking young people out of their everyday environments and into exciting new spaces, opening doors to opportunities they might not otherwise have access to. If that sounds like something you want to be part of…read on.

Our achievements

We’re a small charity but we pack a mighty punch. Our income has grown year-on-year since we became a charity 6 years ago -  allowing us to expand our core team and move into office premises large enough to incorporate a Youth Hub. Last year we worked with over 1,150 young people through our school and communities programs, and this year we’re looking to expand our work even further!

To give you a sense of the kinds of work that we do, over the last year we have:

• Hosted a free Girls’ Festival for 100+ ethnically diverse young girls, allowing them to try running sessions, creative classes and yoga experiences in a safe and empowering environment.

• Hosted free training Academies for ethnically diverse women and young people aged 16-21 to train for their very first half or full marathons! We offered physical, emotional and logistical support throughout their training journey and cheered on every single one of them as they ran either the Hackney Half or the London Marathon under The Outrunners name. Since programme launch, we have worked with over 250 people in our Academies.

• Took diverse groups of young people to races and events, such as Hackney School Run and Black to the Trails. 

• Offered personalised mentoring to several of our young people who were struggling with school or life.

• Expanded the career horizons of young people by offering them free work experience opportunities with our partner brands.

What do we want?

We are looking for an experienced Fundraising Partnerships Manager to help drive the next stage of growth at The Outrunners (current annual income circa £350k). This growth will enable us to expand our after-school and holiday programmes reaching more young people where they are, building their confidence and skills.

Reporting to the CEO, you will lead our brand and corporate partnerships fundraising strategy and delivery, securing and growing relationships with values-aligned brands and businesses who share our belief in the power of movement to transform young lives.

This is a strategic and hands-on role. You will identify new partnership opportunities, develop compelling proposals, and build long-term relationships that generate income, opportunities and experiences for the young people we support.

You will translate the lived experiences, energy and impact of our young people and programmes into compelling partnership opportunities that generate income, engagement and meaningful experiences for both our young people and partners.

You'll be equally comfortable developing strategy, pitching to partners, nurturing relationships and rolling up your sleeves to make things happen.

• A driven, experienced partnerships and fundraising professional who enjoys generating income, building strategic relationships and taking ownership of growth.

Irish Chaplaincy is seeking an experienced, compassionate and motivated Community Outreach and Volunteer Manager to help us extend our reach, strengthen our volunteer community and provide high-quality support to older and vulnerable Irish people across London.

For almost 70 years, Irish Chaplaincy has supported Irish immigrants and people of Irish heritage across England and Wales. Rooted in a Catholic ethos and Catholic social teaching, our work recognises the inherent dignity of every person. We take a holistic and person-centred approach, offering spiritual, emotional and practical support to people who may be isolated, vulnerable or experiencing difficult circumstances.

This is an exciting opportunity to play a central role in a respected charity at an important point in its development. As we celebrate our 70th anniversary in 2027, you will help us reach more people in need, build a strong and well-supported volunteer network, and ensure that vulnerable members of the Irish community receive compassionate, practical and pastoral care.

This is a varied, hands-on role combining community outreach, face-to-face casework, staff supervision and volunteer management. You will lead efforts to identify and engage people who may benefit from our support, build strong referral relationships across London, and ensure our volunteers are recruited, trained and supported effectively.

You will also line manage our Community Outreach Worker and hold a small caseload of your own. This will involve visiting people in their homes, hospitals and care settings and providing pastoral care, advocacy, emotional support and practical help, including support at the end of life.

Key responsibilities

• Proactively reach older Irish people and other vulnerable members of the Irish community, particularly those who are isolated or not currently known to services.
• Build relationships with parishes, community and faith groups, Irish centres, GP surgeries, social services and other voluntary and statutory organisations.
• Provide day-to-day line management, supervision and development support to the Community Outreach Worker.
• Lead the recruitment, induction, training, deployment and ongoing support of volunteers.
• Develop clear volunteer roles and effective procedures covering safeguarding, safe recruitment and DBS checks.
• Hold a small caseload and provide face-to-face pastoral, emotional, advocacy and practical support.
• Represent Irish Chaplaincy at community events, forums and partner meetings.
• Support community development, fundraising, impact reporting and activity connected with Irish Chaplaincy's 70th anniversary in 2027.

About you

We are looking for someone with substantial recent experience in:

• Community outreach, engagement or development, particularly with older people or other vulnerable adults.
• Face-to-face support and casework, including visits to people's homes, hospitals or care settings.
• Line managing or supervising paid staff, including supporting performance, wellbeing and professional development.
• Recruiting, training, supporting and managing volunteers, while creating a positive and inclusive volunteering culture.

You will be an excellent relationship-builder with strong communication and organisational skills, a sound understanding of safeguarding, and the ability to balance outreach, management and direct support responsibilities.

You will bring a warm, respectful and person-centred approach to your work. You should also have empathy with, and a commitment to, Irish Chaplaincy's Christian ethos and pastoral mission. An understanding of Irish culture and the experiences of the Irish diaspora in Britain would be an advantage.

The role requires regular travel across London and occasional evening or weekend work. An enhanced DBS check and the right to work in the UK are required.

Irish Chaplaincy is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of older and vulnerable people. We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all sections of the community.

Our commitment to diversity and Guaranteed Interview Scheme

Diversity is one of our core values as an organisation and we are committed to creating an inclusive working environment where diversity is valued and there is equality of opportunity. We also recognise that the climate and ecological crisis disproportionately impacts minority and/or marginalised communities – yet these voices are largely underrepresented in the sector. Currently, the environmental sector is the second least diverse in the UK, with just 4.8% of employees from ethnic minority backgrounds. If the environmental movement is to succeed in creating a greener future that supports society as a whole, we need diverse voices at the heart of our programmes. We therefore encourage people from demographics that are currently underrepresented in the environmental movement to apply. 

We particularly encourage applications from people from ethnic minority backgrounds or living with a disability or long-term health conditions. We will offer an interview to any candidates from ethnic minority backgrounds or living with a disability who opt into our Guaranteed Interview Scheme when applying and who meet the essential criteria for this role.

If you would like further information, support with access requirements, such as an adjustment to the application or interview process, or an informal chat, please get in touch.
