Centrepoint, the UK’s leading youth homelessness charity, is looking for a Senior New Business Manager to join our Fundraising team based in London (hybrid working).

About us

We help vulnerable young people by giving them the practical and emotional support they need to find a job and live independently. Centrepoint provides homeless young people with accommodation, health support and life skills in order to get them back into education, training and employment. We want to end youth homelessness by 2037.

Together with our partners, we support over 16,000 young people each year.

About the role

Are you a driven and strategic fundraiser with a passion for building transformative corporate partnerships? Do you thrive on identifying opportunities, developing high-value propositions, and motivating teams to deliver ambitious results? If so, we’d love to hear from you.

We are looking for a Senior New Business Manager to lead our new business function as we grow our corporate partnerships programme. This is a high-impact and visible role at the heart of our fundraising strategy. It is ideal for someone who combines creativity and commercial flair with a strong understanding of the charity sector.

You will be responsible for:

• Managing and growing a robust new business pipeline, identifying, researching, and securing high-value corporate prospects

• Leading and motivating a talented team of three, providing guidance, development, and clear strategic direction

• Creating compelling, high-level partnership propositions that resonate with business leaders and align with our mission

• Working closely with the Corporate Account Management team to ensure a seamless journey from prospect to partner

• Collaborating with senior internal stakeholders to unlock opportunities and shape offers with cross-organisational support

• Representing the charity with confidence and credibility when engaging senior corporate decision-makers

About you

You will bring:

• Proven experience of winning new corporate partnerships, ideally in the charity sector (though we also welcome broader income generation or senior fundraising experience)

• A strong understanding of the charity sector and what makes strategic partnerships impactful and sustainable

• Excellent relationship-building skills, both externally with business leaders and internally with senior stakeholders

• Experience of developing high-value, innovative partnership propositions

• A natural leadership style that brings out the best in others and fosters a high-performing, supportive team culture

Why join Centrepoint?

In return for your efforts you’ll receive a competitive salary, excellent training and development, and a host of staff benefits including:

• 25 days of annual leave per year, rising by one day per year to a maximum of 27 days

• Healthcare cash plan (covering a wide range of medical treatment including Dental, Optical, Complementary and Alternative therapies)

• Private Medical Insurance

• Income Protection

• Employer pension contributions of 5%

• Access to Cycle 2 Work loan scheme

• An interest-free travel loan

Centrepoint operates a hybrid working model. The requirement is a minimum of 50% of your working week. For most full-time colleagues, this means attending the office for five days over a two-week period (e.g., two days one week and three days the next). For colleagues on different contracts (including part-time or compressed contracts) this will be adjusted accordingly.

At Centrepoint we challenge the discrimination within society that contributes to youth homelessness, and we are just as committed to fairness and equality within Centrepoint itself. We are passionate about ensuring all of our colleagues are made to feel included in the work we do and that we value the rich diversity within the organisation.

We are an equal opportunities employer and we welcome applications regardless of sex, gender, race, age, belief in any religion and none, gender identity, ethnic origin, class, sexuality, nationality, appearance, unrelated criminal activities, disability, responsibility for dependents, part time or shift workers, being HIV positive or living with AIDS, lived experience of homelessness or using young people’s services and any other matter which causes a person to be treated with injustice.

Centrepoint’s policy is to recruit, employ and promote people on the basis of their suitability for the work to be performed, and to this end, our aim is to ensure that all applicants, employees and volunteers receive equal treatment.

About the role
As Finance Business Partner, you will provide strategic financial insight and support to one of the organisation’s flagship research centres.

Embedded within the research centre but working closely with the wider finance team, you will take the lead on budgeting, forecasting and management reporting, ensuring resources are aligned with strategic priorities. You will also oversee complex grant- and contract-funded projects, helping to ensure that funding is used effectively and reported transparently to international partners and donors.

This role offers the opportunity to shape how financial insight supports high-impact research, strengthen the link between finance and programme delivery, and contribute to a major organisational transformation, including the introduction of a new finance system.

• Oversee project finances, including income recognition, funder reporting and contract compliance.
• Partner with senior researchers and programme managers, ensuring financial information drives decision-making and accountability.

You will bring:

• Strong experience in budgeting, forecasting and reporting.
• Knowledge of international funding models, including government or foundation grants and contracts.
• The ability to present financial information clearly to non-finance colleagues and senior stakeholders.
• A collaborative and proactive approach, with an interest in supporting research that addresses global issues.

This is a unique opportunity to combine your financial expertise with a commitment to advancing solutions on some of the most pressing international challenges of our time.

This role at Relate - Family Action

Relate at Family Action is here to promote safe, supportive relationships for all and support everyone to strengthen the relationships that mean the most to them.

For over 150 years Family Action has seen first-hand the power of family to shape lives, for better and worse. That's why we speak up for the importance of family in national and local policymaking, amplify family voices and represent the changing needs of families in the UK today. Whatever family means or looks like to us, ultimately, it's relationships that matter – and the quality of our relationships affects the quality of all our lives.  

This is a pivotal role responsible for crafting and executing strategies and campaigns that promote both the Relate brand image and overall marketing efforts to support the achievement of sales targets across a range of counselling services (both B2C and B2B), training products, charity retail outlets and other income streams.

We are looking for a marcomms ‘all-rounder’: someone who can take a strategic view as well as being ‘hands-on’ in the delivery of marketing support to the wider Relate team.
