Job description

Are you passionate about tackling inequality and creating opportunities for disadvantaged children? Do you believe that every child, no matter their background, deserves a fair chance to succeed? If so, Greenhouse Sports wants YOU to join our mission as the Director of Impact, Innovation, and Engagement!

About Us
At Greenhouse Sports, we’re dedicated to changing lives through the power of sports and mentoring. With over two decades of experience, we’ve empowered more than 55,000 children from disadvantaged backgrounds to stay engaged in education, develop life skills, and secure a better future. Our work is urgent, as over 800,000 children in London face deprivation—more than the combined total in Scotland and the rest of England.

We’re more than just a charity; we are a catalyst for change, helping children grow physically, mentally, and emotionally through sports. Our cutting-edge programmes have demonstrated measurable improvements in the well-being and prospects of young people across London and beyond.

About the Role
As the Director of Impact, Innovation, and Engagement, you’ll lead the development and implementation of groundbreaking strategies that amplify our social impact. You will be at the forefront of identifying opportunities for innovation, using data and research to drive behavioural change, and fostering strategic partnerships that will elevate our work to new heights. You will work closely with our Senior Leadership Team, coaches, and stakeholders to ensure our initiatives make the deepest possible impact.

This is your chance to shape the future of Greenhouse Sports and the lives of thousands of children. With your expertise, you’ll help us become a best-in-class charity, driving results and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in youth development.

Why This Role Matters

  • Innovate for Change: Lead pioneering research and initiatives that set new standards for impact in the charity sector.
  • Amplify Our Reach: Help expand our programmes to more schools, reaching thousands of children who desperately need the opportunity to thrive.
  • Be a Voice of Change: Influence policy and collaborate with key stakeholders to ensure that young people from deprived backgrounds have access to life-changing opportunities.
  • Measure and Prove Impact: Develop robust evaluation frameworks to track our progress and inspire others with the results.

What We Offer

  • A Leadership Role with Real Impact: Influence the future of youth development on a large scale.
  • Collaborative and Passionate Team: Work with like-minded individuals who are driven by making a difference.
  • Generous Benefits: Flexible working, 27+ days of paid holiday (including a 2-week Christmas break), health cash plan, and more.
  • Continuous Development: We invest in your growth with ongoing training, leadership opportunities, and a supportive work environment.

Your Profile

  • Proven leader with experience in social impact, innovation, and research-backed initiatives.
  • Passionate about driving social change and committed to creating opportunities for disadvantaged children.
  • Strategic thinker with excellent project management skills and the ability to bring teams together around a common vision.
  • Comfortable leading discussions with top academics, funders, and partners, with a strong ability to influence and engage others.

Join us at Greenhouse Sports and help us transform the lives of young people in London and beyond. This isn’t just a job—it’s your chance to leave a legacy.
