About Us

At SPEAR, we dedicate ourselves to helping those in South West London, across 5 boroughs, who are homeless, or at risk of becoming homeless, find secure accommodation and support people to achieve a positive future.

For over 35 years, we’ve worked tirelessly to support people experiencing homelessness to overcome personal challenges and break down the many barriers they face. We recognise that homelessness is much more than just a housing issue, so as well as providing accommodation we also provide tailored support services to help people reach their full potential.

We welcome and encourage applications from everyone, regardless of age, disability, gender, ethnicity, religion, and sexual orientation.

About the Role

This is an exciting newly created role at SPEAR, to maximise the corporate fundraising potential that SPEAR is already experiencing. This is a varied role for someone who has already worked in a corporate partnerships position and is looking to move into a lead role in developing a corporate partnerships strategy and programme with the support of the Director of Fundraising and Engagement. Over the next 2-3 years we have ambitions to double our corporate income and we are predicting a minimum of 20% growth next year, with the potential to grow more as part of a focused programme.

You will be working as part of the Fundraising and Engagement team, reporting to and working closely with the Director of Fundraising and Engagement. We are a collaborative, innovative, agile, and friendly team and we are looking for someone to join us to lead Corporate Partnerships.

We already have a handful of loyal partners, who also have the potential to grow their support and to introduce their networks. Being a local London organisation, we also have great community links and presence, and we wish to maximise on our networks and presence to create a focussed corporate partnerships programme.

For a more detailed description of the role, please see the attached job description and person specification.

About You

You will be a creative, strategic thinker with a growth mindset, strong collaboration and communication skills, and a passion for addressing homelessness and poverty.

You will have previously held a similar position, demonstrating your experience of fundraising from corporate partners, growing income, and or winning new partnerships. You will have experience in the development of corporate partnerships and work closely with corporate partners across a range of funding activities so that our vital work can continue.

If you have a passion for making a difference in people’s lives, in a complex and changing world, this role could be for you.

Your Benefits

- A competitive salary
- 34 days’ holiday (inclusive of bank holidays) increasing with the length of service
- Enhanced maternity and paternity leave
- Enhanced occupational sick pay
- Enrolment into our pension scheme after three months’ service
- Yearly eye care vouchers

Your Perks

- 24-hour access to confidential counselling services (EAP)
- Free staff well-being sessions
- Flexible working
- Free moving house day

Once you join us, you will be eligible for a whole host of benefits. Need a day off to move house? We can do that. Want to be out in nature every day and cycle to work? No problem. Need to know you’ll be financially secure whether you’re sick, having a child, or simply in the future? We’ve got that covered with sick pay, parental leave, and a great pension scheme.

We’ll also ensure your mental well-being can be your number one priority through access to a confidential counselling service, so you can go home every day, knowing your hard work is helping some of those most marginalised in society move from homelessness to independence.
