Community Development Jobs

Tall Ships Youth Trust (TSYT) is a youth development outdoor learning charity which has been improving the skills and life chances of disadvantaged young people since 1956.

We envision a world where all young people strive to create better outcomes for themselves and for their communities. To do this, out on the ocean we empower young people to realise their true potential, supporting them on their journey to adulthood and for some, into volunteering and careers in the maritime sector and the blue economy.

Utilising our fleet of four 72ft Challenger yachts and a 55ft ketch, we were able to support more than 1,200 young people last year. 80% were from disadvantaged backgrounds; 40% were female; and 25% identified as belonging to the global majority. Our aim is to significantly increase the numbers we support over the next few years.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a part time Trusts & Grants fundraiser to join our small, hardworking team.

The role holder will contribute towards achieving our ambitious yearly income target by helping to maintain our well-established Trusts & Grants portfolio, as well as identifying new funding opportunities as we seek to grow and diversify this income stream.

Responsibilities will include developing and submitting winning funding proposals, reporting on funds spent, and excellent stewardship. The role will form part of the Fundraising, Digital and Marketing team, and will sit alongside our current Trusts & Grants fundraiser, supported by the Head of Fundraising and Marketing.

The ideal candidate will have some experience in successful Trusts & Grants income generation, including report writing and demonstrating the impact of funding. They will need excellent written skills, communication skills and good attention to detail.

Our intention is for this role to be covered for three days a week, but the successful candidate will have the opportunity to negotiate their preferred working pattern.

If you’re passionate about helping young people to redefine their horizons, and this role feels like a good fit for you, we’d love to hear from you!

As the UK’s leading university access organisation, our staff team is helping 52,000 young people each year at its 41 learning centres and extension projects across England and Scotland, and we plan to scale-up our provision to 50 centres over the coming years.

The more inclusive we are, the better our work will be, and we recognise that we have much more to do in this regard. We are committed to building a culture where students, staff and volunteers are valued for the unique people they are. We  therefore encourage applications from candidates from as wide a range as possible of ethnic, cultural and social  backgrounds. In particular, we actively and warmly welcome applications from Black, Asian and minority ethnic candidates,  male candidates and candidates with a disability as they are currently under-represented within IntoUniversity.

We have a rare opportunity to join our team in a key strategic and operational role as Programme Manager. Working as part of a Collaborative, Responsive, Enterprising, Playful and Reflective team (Our Values!), you will lead and develop our projects and programmes with young people and adults for the South London communities we serve.

We believe that music and media, delivered in a socially and culturally relevant way, have the power to positively change and shape people’s lives. Our purpose-built 3-story base in Brixton houses recording studios, a band rehearsal space, a production suite with top industry standard tech and software. Our work takes place mainly onsite with some community-based work in hospitals or at events.

This opportunity comes at a really exciting time for Raw Material. We are soon returning to our own building which by the end of 2024 will be refurbished via a £1.1m capital fundraising campaign to improve our operational capabilities and develop income generation opportunities and new facilities for the community, with a coworking offer and an increased hires and events programme.
