We’re looking for someone with compassion and insight to lead our animal welfare strategy. Using our rescue and rehoming centre and our outreach work to deliver the greatest impact for cats and dogs in need and aligning our work within the framework provided through our partnership with the RSPCA. 

Our aim is to provide care for high welfare cats and dogs at our centre, prevent neglect through intervention in our communities, support struggling pet owners and to help all pet owners be kind and compassionate to their pets. 

You will have the animal welfare experience necessary to set and meet targets with confidence, inspiring your team to deliver the greatest impact for cats and dogs at risk. 

As a senior leader, your strategic mindset, focus, and enthusiasm will foster a strong and collaborative culture throughout the charity.

You’ll find that we’re a kind and dedicated team, who are all committed to transforming the lives of the animals that we care for. If you’re the person to help us, please consider applying.

About the role:

This is a hands-on role for someone who loves opening doors, building momentum and turning interest into long-term support. As Corporate Partnerships Officer, you’ll be right at the heart of our growing Fundraising team, actively identifying new corporate partners, starting meaningful conversations and shaping partnerships that genuinely add value. From first approach to signed agreement, you’ll play a key role in bringing businesses on board and inspiring them to stand alongside our work.

You’ll split your time between winning new partnerships and deepening existing ones. That means researching and targeting the right organisations, crafting and delivering engaging pitches, and managing a live pipeline of opportunities. Alongside this, you’ll steward a portfolio of corporate partners, building strong relationships with key contacts, coordinating activity, spotting opportunities to grow support and ensuring partnerships deliver real impact for both the business and Single Homeless Project.

You’ll quickly build a strong understanding of our services, values and priorities, using this insight to develop creative ways for businesses to get involved, from fundraising and campaigns to volunteering and events. You’ll track activity and performance through our CRM, using data and insight to strengthen relationships and retention. While your focus is corporate partnerships, you’ll work closely with colleagues across the organisation to support a joined-up, ambitious approach to income generation. If you’re proactive, curious and ready to make your mark, this role offers the chance to grow fast and make a visible difference at Single Homeless Project (SHP). 

About you: 

• You’re genuinely interested in why businesses choose to support charities and enjoy turning that curiosity into strong, meaningful partnerships.
• You’re confident building relationships, opening conversations and keeping partners engaged, whether you’re developing something new or growing what’s already there.
• You’re comfortable working towards targets and enjoy the sense of progress that comes from moving ideas into action.
• You can bring a story to life, creating and delivering pitches or presentations that connect with people and inspire them to get involved.
• You’re organised and proactive, happy using (or quickly learning) a CRM to keep things running smoothly and spot opportunities to do even better.

About us:

We’re London’s leading homelessness charity – and we get things done.

In a city where hundreds are forced into homelessness every day, our work has never been more needed or more challenging. And we’re not shying away. We’re rolling up our sleeves to make change and helping over 10,000 Londoners every year. We prevent homelessness, provide safe places to live and give people the opportunity to rebuild their lives and transform their futures. And we never give up. 

We’re here for Londoners wherever they are on their journey. We start with trust, building relationships that help people feel safe, supported, and ready to move forward. Every day, we put people first in everything we do, challenging injustice and barriers that keep people from the safety, stability and opportunity they deserve. We stand alongside people as they rebuild and shape a future that feels their own. 

Joining Single Homeless Project means joining a team that’s bold, compassionate and determined to do better for the people we support and for each other. You’ll work alongside colleagues with lived experience, in a space that’s trans-inclusive, disability-friendly, and actively striving to be anti-oppressive and equitable. 

We’re not perfect, but we’re real. We listen. We learn. And we push forward, together. Because this isn’t just a job. It’s a chance to lead with empathy, spark change, and help build a London where no one is left behind.

​About Impetus

At Impetus, our focus is on helping young people achieve positive education and employment outcomes to increase their chance of leading fulfilling and successful lives, irrespective of their background.

We tackle the three most difficult challenges that affect a young person’s ability to succeed in life in Britain today:  ​​

• The large numbers of young people out of education, training and employment  ​

We use our deep expertise and high calibre networks to give the best non-profits working in these sectors the essential ingredients to have a real and lasting impact on the young people they serve.

Through a powerful combination of long-term funding, direct capacity building support from our experienced team and our pro bono partners, alongside research and policy influencing to drive lasting systems change, we work towards a society where all young people can thrive in school, pass their exams and unlock the doors to sustained employment, for a fulfilling life. ​​

We are resolutely focused on outcomes and impact, driven by quality evidence.​
