Job description

Smart Works is a dynamic, high profile and fast-growing UK charity that dresses and coaches unemployed women for success at their job interview. We empower each woman by giving her the clothes and the confidence she needs to succeed.

After visiting Smart Works, 67% of clients secure a job within a month, gaining financial independence and transforming their lives.

The Smart Works service is delivered in London, Manchester, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Birmingham, Newcastle, Reading, Bristol and Leeds. Over the past ten years, Smart Works has helped over 50,000 women, and last year alone we reached 10,600 women. It is our mission that any woman who needs our service should be able to find her way to a Smart Works centre.

In March 2025, Smart Works completed their Three-Year Plan that saw the charity double the number of women helped annually from 5,000 to 10,000 women a year. To achieve this, we grew our existing centres and opened a new centre.

More information about who we are can be found on our Smart Works website.

About This Role

As the Community Partnerships Executive you will play a key role in delivering and defining Smart Works’ community fundraising portfolio. Reporting to the Events Manager, you’ll work closely with colleagues across the Events and Community Fundraising team, as well as Local Centre Fundraising Leads, to engage supporters, strengthen partnerships, and help achieve ambitious income targets.

You will help in the planning and delivery of our mass participation event, Step Up for Smart Works, ensuring it continues to grow in scale, impact, and engagement. Alongside this, you’ll oversee our calendar of sporting challenges—recruiting participants, nurturing relationships, and ensuring every fundraiser feels supported and valued throughout their journey.

Beyond event delivery, you’ll help shape what “community” means for Smart Works. Through research, stakeholder engagement, and collaboration with staff and volunteers, you’ll identify opportunities to expand our reach and develop new ways for supporters to get involved locally and nationally.

How to Apply

Please read the full job pack and then head to our website to submit a CV and a cover letter by 9am on 27th October 2025. 

Interviews will take place on 3rd or 4th November and will be in person in our North London centre.

If you require any reasonable adjustments or alterations for the application and recruitment processes, please contact us.

Smart Works is committed to best practice employment practices, including reducing the burden for those seeking work. Smart Works will therefore reimburse reasonable costs of travel to interviews if required.

At Smart Works we will apply suitable measures to keep your information secure in accordance with our Privacy Policy (a current version of which is available on our website).
