Centrepoint, the UK’s leading youth homelessness charity, is looking for a Corporate Partnerships Officer join our Fundraising team.
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.
136,000 16-25 year olds face homelessness each year. Centrepoint provides holistic support to help turn their lives around. We are working to end youth homelessness by 2037.
About the Role
The Corporate Partnerships Officer will be primarily responsible for supporting on the delivery of Centrepoint’s multi-year, 7-figure strategic partnership with Nationwide Building Society. This new partnership is the largest multi-year partnership in Centrepoint’s corporate portfolio to date, and a transformational partnership for Centrepoint and the young people we work with. Funding will support a range of measures to help young people experiencing homelessness across the UK.
Working between our offices in London/ Manchester, as well as from the partner’s head office on occasion, you will work alongside the Partnership Manager to support successful delivery of all aspects of the partnership, as well as taking ownership of your own projects. This will include supporting with fundraising and volunteering engagement with Nationwide colleagues, as well as administrative support across the partnership. You will provide excellent stewardship for this partnership and future corporate partners and identify opportunities to increase engagement and income.
You will be ambitious and driven, ideally with experience within fundraising, account management or programme management. You will have great attention to detail and experience managing and prioritising a diverse workload. You will be an excellent communicator and networker, with the ability to form strong relationships externally and internally, including engaging with a range of stakeholders.
This role is a brilliant opportunity to gain experience in working on a large-scale, strategic partnership that reaches across the charity with touchpoints in many teams. You will work closely with the partnership manager and Nationwide, with responsibility for your own projects.
The role is offered on a hybrid-working basis with home working combined with 2 days/week on average in our London or Manchester office. There will also be a requirement to travel to Nationwide sites as required (unlikely to be more than two times a month).

- Gather content and data to support in the compilation of reports on income, expenditure, and partnership impact.
