The postholder will hold overall responsibility for delivering a vibrant, open-access Youth Zone for the young people of West London, welcoming up to 200 young people per session.

You will lead the development and delivery of the core youth work provision, including junior, senior and holiday clubs, ensuring high standards of practice and a culture of continuous improvement. You will also ensure the Youth Zone remains a fun, supportive, safe and inclusive environment that attracts and retains young people, helping to raise aspirations and support positive outcomes.

You will be a member of WEST’s Senior Leadership Team, and will work in tandem with the Chief Executive, the Senior Leadership Team and the Board of Trustees to help WEST achieve its goal of delivering life-changing youth work to young people in West London.

As a member of SLT, you will embody the highest standards of professionalism and act as a role model for the culture we wish to create at WEST, and make a focused, measurable contribution to WEST’s overall strategic plan.

ABOUT WEST YOUTH ZONE

WEST Youth Zone, named Where Everyone Sticks Together by local young people, opened in April 2024 - a purpose-built space fizzing with energy and crammed with incredible facilities. Staffed by talented, skilled and dedicated youth workers who truly believe in young people, helping them see what they could achieve, and giving them the skills, confidence and ambition to go for it.

At WEST, we believe all young people in West London should have the opportunity to discover their passion and their purpose and be able to explore where it can take them. We are open 7 days a week, while schools are closed - that’s evenings and weekends, plus all through the school holidays. We offer a safe and active space for young people to flourish in their leisure time, where their interests can be nurtured, and they can grow as individuals.

Hammermith & Fulham is a borough of wide disparities, with an acute need for youth services. This vast difference between those living in different neighbourhoods can lead to radically different life outcomes. Our Youth Zone is a vital provision that will make a huge impact on the lives of young people, and on the whole area, levelling the playing field for our young people.

We give 8 to 19-year-olds, (and up to 25 for young people with additional needs) affordable access to a broad range of sport, arts and mental health support, and employability services, designed to empower them to lead healthier, positive and more active lives – raising their aspirations for themselves and their community. This is a charity that the whole community can be proud of, and you can be part of that journey.

We’re looking for someone with experience in managing corporate partners of different levels, someone who can secure new income and spot different opportunities. And someone who can deliver high quality, tailored stewardship to support the development and retention of partnerships.

The Corporate Partnerships Officer (Account Management) is a key part of our Corporate Partnerships team. As part of Philanthropy and Partnerships, this role is key to helping Diabetes UK manage, and retain corporate partners, maximise fundraising opportunities, and ultimately work with partners to help us all work to a world where diabetes can do no harm.

About the team

We have big goals over the next few years.

We're going to be fighting for mental health in a way we never have before.

Together we'll be working to make sure everyone experiencing a mental health problem gets the support and respect they deserve.

Team information

Will you join us?

The Income Generation Directorate brings together Fundraising, Retail, Business Development and Operations into one team with a shared purpose: to grow sustainable income that powers Mind's work and reaches more people who need us.

We are deliberately set up to work across boundaries. Rather than teams operating in isolation, everyone here contributes to a collective effort to hit ambitious targets, deepen relationships with our supporters and partners, and bring commercial thinking to a mission that matters.

Corporate Partnerships sits at the heart of this. We grow income through high-value relationships and through new, venture-style commercial opportunities, from cause-related marketing to merchandising collaborations, that look and feel different to traditional charity fundraising. Working hand in hand with Retail and colleagues across Income Generation, we turn partnerships into real commercial value and real impact.

About us

Kids Matter is one of the UK’s fastest growing children’s charities. Our vision is to see every child in need raised in a strong family. Our mission is to reduce the impact of poverty on children through community-based parenting programmes.

Research shows that group-based early intervention parenting groups are the most effective way to support children in need. We train peer facilitators in local churches - the largest voluntary body in the country - to run our affordable, accessible and highly effective parenting programmes, written by Clinical Psychologists. They come alongside parents and carers, building long-lasting community in addition to encouraging confidence and learning positive parenting skills.
