About Us

Bridges Outcomes Partnerships (BOP) is a not-for-profit social enterprise that works alongside Government, community groups and specialist Delivery partners to design and deliver vital services that support people to improve their lives, in areas ranging from housing and employment to education and health & wellbeing.

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.

GMBOP is a subsidiary of Bridges Outcomes Partnerships, a not-for-profit social enterprise established to develop and deliver outcomes-based contracts in partnership with public sector commissioners and impact-driven delivery organisations.

About GMBOP

Greater Manchester Better Outcomes Partnership (GMBOP) is a place-based partnership supporting people across Greater Manchester who are experiencing, or at risk of, housing insecurity and homelessness.

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.

What Will You Be Accountable For?

• 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

• Working in partnership with delivery teams so housing options reflect participants’ strengths, needs and goals

• Supporting delivery partners to understand private rented sector options available to participants

• Liaising with local authority private sector housing teams to strengthen partnership working

• Acting as a point of contact for staff accessing the GMBOP deposit or guarantor scheme

• 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

• Adaptability and comfort working in a fast-paced setting

Desirable

• Experience of building and maintaining relationships with landlords and lettings agents in the private rented sector

• Understanding of homelessness prevention, youth services, housing insecurity or related systems

• Ability to travel across Greater Manchester to meet the requirements of the role

(We are open to discussing how travel requirements can be met.)

We believe safeguarding is a shared responsibility, where all colleagues play an active role in promoting wellbeing, identifying safeguarding concerns, and working together to ensure these are addressed promptly and respectfully.

We expect all team members to handle data with care, respect, and confidentiality, following our organisational policies and the requirements of data protection legislation. This includes using information appropriately, storing and sharing it securely, and reporting any concerns or breaches promptly.

They also have an allocation of £60 million for social investment and a £10m impact investment allocation, alongside their£1.3bn endowment.

The foundation’s strategy is underpinned by the need to tackle structural inequality, racism and the causes and impacts of climate change.They believe that we need bold action and impact like never before, so as well as funding brilliant organisations, they we will work alongside partners and collaborators to remove barriers and secure progress, using their voice to quietly influence and effect change. 

Prospectus is delighted to be working with the foundation to recruit a Funding Manager for their Creative, Confident Communities (CCC) strategic aim, which focuses on communities connected by ‘place’. Through this programme, they are working towards places where communities can fulfil their creative, human, and economic potential.  

The role:
This role will work within the Creative, Confident Communities Team in making a significant contribution to the delivery of the foundation’s strategy, specifically focused on place-based and community-led change across the UK. The primary aim of this role is to bring grant-making expertise and knowledge to add capacity to the team moving forward.

This is a unique opportunity to work with and support a range of organisations, initiatives and projects that are seeking to create place-based change, working with communities across the UK to achieve this. The foundation has independence, resources and influence that enable them to move at pace and make a positive difference for people and communities in the UK. They have ambition and an appetite for risk, to try new things and work with new and unusual partnerships to deliver their aims.

A deep understanding of the challenges faced by communities and places across the UK is essential and having hands-on experience of tackling these issues will be very valuable to this role. Being thoughtful, analytical and inquisitive, the role requires advance problem solving and synthesising sometimes quite complex information and delivering to a wide range of audiences in digestible and concise communication.

Collaboration is key to success in this role and evidence of having worked in close knit and very busy team in connected areas of work will be important in addition to being able to work independently and to manage your own time will be important.
