About us​

​Established in 2002, Greenhouse Sports is a youth charity specifically using sport to support social change. Sport is our hook to engage young people and one of the vehicles through which we support youth development. But our purpose is not to create elite athletes or address physical inactivity. Rather, we create opportunities for young people to recognise their strengths and develop the skills they need to thrive both now and in the future.

We work across London, Portsmouth, and Leicester, specifically in areas of high deprivation. We embed evidence-based positive youth development programmes into primary and secondary schools. These programmes are delivered by our trusted, high-quality coach-mentors who deliver year-round to ensure that young people have ongoing access to sport, mentoring, enrichment, and employability activities. The result of this work is that every year, Greenhouse Sports support over 9,000 young people to attend school more often, improve their wellbeing, and raise their aspirations, transforming life chances in the communities that need us the most.

The Person​​

We’re looking for a proactive and driven individual who combines safeguarding knowledge and expertise with a passion for relationships. You’ll have experience managing safeguarding concerns, delivering training, and developing partnerships, but what sets you apart is your ability to adapt your knowledge to diverse settings and respond positively with young people’s wellbeing at the forefront of your mind. You’re confident engaging with diverse stakeholders – from internal staff to PE teachers, School Heads, Trust CEOs through to local LADOs and other charity partners.

You’ll be highly organised, adaptable, and considered. You’ll recognise that importance of placing safeguarding at the heart of everything we do, while also understanding how to manage complex and varied relationships across partners. Your communication skills will help you represent Greenhouse Sports across our partners, championing our programmes. If you’re motivated by making a difference and want to be at the heart of a charity that really makes a difference, we’d love to hear from you. 

​​The Role ​​

Are you ready to make a real impact in the lives of young people? As Safeguarding and Partnership Manager, you’ll be the driving force behind ensuring all our activities are safe and available to as many young people as possible. You’ll work with our partner schools to ensure they have a thorough understanding of our programmes and that delivery is optimised to ensure positive and safe outcomes for our young people. 

Reporting to the Director of Impact and Engagement, as Partnerships and Safeguarding Manager you will act as the charity’s Designated Safeguarding Lead with responsibility for ensuring Greenhouse’s delivery has the safety and welfare of young people at its heart, with a highly trained informed workforce. You will also take a leading role in the relationship and contract management of our school partners. ​
