Join an ambitious charity working with some of the UK’s biggest brands to help create a future without food allergy.

This is a rare opportunity for an ambitious and commercially minded partnerships leader to join a fast-paced, high-profile team at a pivotal moment of growth — leading exciting national partnerships, developing a passionate team and helping shape the future of Natasha's Foundation.

Founded following the high-profile and tragic death of Natasha Ednan-Laperouse from a food allergic reaction at just 15 years old, our mission is deeply personal, urgent and driven by a determination to create lasting change.

Already partnering with leading retailers, food brands and major businesses across the UK, we are looking for an experienced, relationship-driven Head of Corporate Partnerships to help grow and strengthen our high-profile partnership portfolio.

This is far more than a traditional charity partnerships role. You will join a dynamic, ambitious and fast-paced team working closely with nationally recognised brands, senior stakeholders and influential partners to deliver meaningful collaborations that drive income, awareness, engagement and long-term impact.

At Natasha’s Foundation, we are passionate, forward-thinking and hugely ambitious about what we want to achieve. We are building a high-performing fundraising and partnerships team that combines purpose with pace, creativity and commercial thinking. We are looking for someone who thrives in an entrepreneurial environment, enjoys building genuine relationships and is excited by the opportunity to help shape the future of one of the UK’s most important and fast-growing health charities.

Reporting to the Director of Corporate Partnerships and Fundraising, the Head of Corporate Partnerships will lead and support the development of strategic partnerships, manage and inspire a growing team, and help unlock exciting new opportunities across corporate fundraising, brand partnerships, sponsorship, cause-related marketing and employee engagement.

You will be confident engaging with senior decision-makers, passionate about creating innovative partnerships and motivated by being part of a charity with a bold vision for a future without food allergy.

The role is primarily remote with regular travel to meetings, events and monthly team days in London. Our partnerships and stakeholder relationships span the UK, with many key corporate contacts based across London, the Midlands and the North, making this an excellent opportunity for candidates who enjoy building relationships nationally and working with leading brands across multiple sectors.

The Lead Support Worker is a vital member of the frontline team, leading our trauma informed, person centred specialist support work for people in Boaz accommodation who have had their asylum claims refused.

Our accommodation is for single adults, and is provided through shared housing. We know that housing is key for people who are facing homelessness after a negative asylum decision, and that a combination of accommodation, specialist support, and access to legal advice is an essential foundation for people who have often experienced significant trauma.

The Lead Support Worker will be the main contact for this area of our support work and will have their own case load of people living in Boaz accommodation (currently, this case load will be men who have had their asylum claims refused). The Lead Support Worker will provide line management to a Support Worker within the same project, while also integrating within our wider support team. We currently have 22 bed spaces for people who have been refused asylum, but we hope to increase this number in the months ahead. The post may line manage more than one Support Worker if the service expands in the future. 

This role ensures that people who have been refused asylum are supported throughout their time in Boaz accommodation: from being referred, to moving into Boaz  accommodation, to moving on from Boaz (our accommodation is temporary, and is usually provided for up to 12 months). Our holistic support model means that the support will vary per individual, however it will include offering legal support (in partnership with a local legal provider), access to healthcare, wellbeing, housing support, as well as other objectives set by the people we work with. This role will also help lead on our programme of wellbeing activities (Boaz Life), offering opportunities for people supported by Boaz.

As well as overseeing and providing support to individuals, the Lead Support Worker will also proactively build and maintain excellent external partner relationships, seeking out opportunities to benefit people living in Boaz accommodation. 

We are looking for someone who can deliver a high quality, trauma informed and person centred service for the people we support. This will include proactively improving processes and paperwork to support the team and service delivery. The Lead Support Worker will need to be well organised and make effective use of time, striking the balance between line management and Lead responsibilities, face to face support, completing case notes, reports and other required documentation, whilst being flexible enough to accommodate changes in plans and priorities. 

This role involves working with people who are often in very precarious situations and we are therefore looking for a Lead Support Worker who has high emotional intelligence, great communication skills, can build trusting relationships with people, and understands the journeys that people seeking asylum may have undertaken and the impact of destitution.
