We are excited to be recruiting into our Fundraising and Communications team to help grow meaningful corporate partnerships that directly support young people across Bristol and the surrounding areas. This is an exciting opportunity to build relationships with businesses, deliver impactful partnerships, and help shape long‑term support for young people facing homelessness and complex challenges.
Who are we?
We are a leading youth homelessness charity based in the Southwest, working with over 1,500 young people. At 1625ip we are driven by Social Justice and Passion: we strive to do something that matters and take pride in seeing the results of our work in social outcomes and improving young people’s lives.
How we work
At 1625ip our work is rooted in Psychologically Informed Environments (PIE) and Trauma‑Informed Practice (TIP). Our Psychologically Informed Framework shapes how we build relationships, use our spaces, and support young people. This means we prioritise safety, trust, collaboration, and understanding the impact of trauma in every interaction. You don’t need prior experience in PIE or TIP to apply – we’ll support you to learn and develop these approaches in the role.

- Identify and develop new partnership opportunities through research, outreach, networking, and relationship building.
- Plan and deliver corporate fundraising campaigns and partnership activity that engage businesses and raise support for young people.
- Organise and coordinate corporate engagement events, volunteering opportunities, and supporter activities.

- Support the delivery of larger strategic partnerships alongside the Corporate Partnerships, Philanthropy and Communications Manager.
- Develop tailored proposals and partnership approaches for prospective supporters.
- Maintain accurate pipeline, income, and partnership records using Salesforce CRM, supporting effective planning and reporting.
- Progress partnership opportunities, respond professionally to challenges, and identify ways to strengthen and grow partnerships.
- Work collaboratively with colleagues across fundraising and communications to deliver impactful partnerships that reflect our values, while working within safeguarding, confidentiality, equality, diversity, and data protection frameworks.

Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion
We aim to build a diverse workforce that reflects the young people we support, including those from migrant, refugee, and asylum‑seeking communities. We warmly encourage applications from individuals who are currently under‑represented at 1625ip, including people from ethnic minority backgrounds, Black/Black British backgrounds, Muslim and male candidates, and anyone with relevant lived experience. If you need an adjustment to be made to any part of the recruitment process, please let us know as soon as possible.
Our Competency Development Framework sits at the heart of how we work at 1625ip. It links our values with the behaviours we expect to see in everyday practice and supports colleagues to learn, reflect and develop. It also means our recruitment is grounded in behaviours, not just experience, so applications, interviews and job profiles all focus on how we work, not only what we do.
If you have transferable skills and are interested in this role, but you are worried about the application process, please get in touch. We encourage you to have an informal chat with the recruiting manager to discuss how your personal or professional experience and skills could be transferred to this role.
