At New Horizon, a leading youth homelessness organisation in London, we are looking for a Partnership Engagement Officer to support our engagement and work with delivery, local authority and strategic partners across London and nationally. The post holder will help us strengthen our partnership engagement strategy, systems and impact measurement. They will also contribute to developing and delivering partner and stakeholder communication and events to ensure that existing and potential sector partners know and understand what we do and how young people can benefit from our services

Young people have been particularly hit hard by the pandemic and lockdown in terms of job prospects, mental health, housing and homelessness. As one of the leading youth homelessness organisation in London, we need to work together with local authorities, statutory services and voluntary agencies to make sure that the experiences of young people facing homelessness are understood and acted upon. To this end we are looking to maximise the impact of our existing partnerships, create ways of collaborating with others, and focus on reaching those services and young people who could most benefit from the services we offer and are developing.

Fight for Peace is an international non-governmental organisation (NGO) that inspires young people to achieve their full potential and promotes peaceful communities. The organisation was founded in Rio de Janeiro, in 2000, and set up in London in 2007. 

We believe the choices young people make are based on the opportunities and support they have access to, as well as the way they see themselves, how they relate to others, and how they see their future. That’s why Fight for Peace invests in young people, offering integrated and holistic programmes in a safe environment. 

Strategically we focus on three main activities: firstly, we provide direct services to young people through our Academies in London and Rio; secondly, we support youth-focused partner organisations who are members of the Fight for Peace Alliance; and thirdly, through our Collectives – currently in Newham and Jamaica – we work with local partners, government bodies, donors and the private sector, to generate greater impact in preventing violence in communities.

This is an exciting time to join Fight for Peace. Our new three-year strategy - currently in development - will set out the next stage of our ambitious and proactive response to the significant challenges faced by the young people and communities we serve. 

A Public Health approach to violence prevention

Fight for Peace uses a public health model which focuses on three levels of violence prevention. We offer universal services that provide opportunities and support for all young people living in communities affected by crime and violence. We also focus on individuals or groups identified as being at risk of becoming victims or perpetrators of crime and violence. And we support young people most at risk of harm, or causing harm, to disengage from crime and violence, and work to prevent them reoffending or being victimised again.

Our London Academy 

We set up our London Academy in North Woolwich in 2007 to provide services to children and young people aged 7 to 25 in the borough of Newham and beyond. Today, the Academy usually works with around 900 young people annually and acts as a training hub for our Fight for Peace Alliance member organisations. It is also the location from which we coordinate our London-based Collectives. In response to the coronavirus pandemic, many of our services are being provided online.

The Role 

We are looking for someone with at least 2 years experience of fundraising and partnership working. You will

• Lead on the co-ordination and implementation of the Trusts and Foundations and Statutory segments of the Partnerships Team’s 2021 – 2023 Fundraising strategy.
