The remarkable Unitas (Barnet’s Youth Zone) is looking for a Director of Fundraising to lead the energetic and dynamic organisation’s fundraising as they continue to impact the lives of thousands of young people each year.
Location: Barnet, in the office three days a week, two flexible.
Applications close at 9 a.m. Tuesday 28th May 2024.
Who we are.
Unitas is a unique and vibrant youth centre with state-of-the-art facilities. It is at the heart of the Barnet community.
You only have to walk through the doors to feel the buzz of energy and excitement as young people meet friends, try new activities and learn essential life skills enabling them to lead happy and healthy lives.
“Unitas” was named by local young people, and opened in summer 2019 as the second OnSide Youth Zone in London.
At Unitas, they believe that all young people in Barnet should have the opportunity to discover their passion and their purpose, to find out what they’ve got and where it could take them. The Youth Zone is a purpose-built space fizzing with energy and crammed with incredible facilities. It is staffed by 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 achieve their potential.
Since opening they have delivered life-changing support to help over 12,000 young people aged 8-19 (and up to 25 for young people with additional needs) from a diverse range of backgrounds to thrive.
The role.
This is an exciting role that sits on the senior leadership team with a significant amount of autonomy for an outstanding fundraiser and leader who is interested in further developing a fundraising function to eventually deliver c.£1.8m fundraising income per annum.

Now as they enter year five, they seek the continuation of this support and are in the initial stages of diversifying their income sources. They have also secured significant ringfenced funding to expand the fundraising team, and the incoming Director of Fundraising will have significant scope to shape the team around their vision and strategy. Successful achievement of goals and a sound strategy will allow for further growth in future years in order to sustain, diversify and enhance income.
