London Youth Gateway Programme Manager, NEW HORIZON YOUTH CENTRE

About the role

London Youth Gateway is a sector-leading service supporting 18-25 year-olds facing homelessness or rough sleeping across the capital. Our mission is to ensure young Londoners bounce back quickly and safely in times of crisis and to prevent or solve their homelessness for good.

You will play a leading role in shaping the work of the partnership, its collaborative processes, and its connections with each of London’s local authorities. This is a key role in our organisation, and we are looking for someone with demonstrable experience in partnership and stakeholder engagement who knows how to get and keep people on board to meet mutual or differing needs.

The ideal candidate will be a confident communicator and persuasive negotiator with an eye for detail. You will facilitate multi-agency meetings and collaboration, hold responsibility for regular reporting to the commissioner, and contribute to our broader policy and influencing work.

We have big ambitions for an organisation our size, so we are on the lookout for someone who can work on their own initiative, support our different teams, and is not afraid to get hands-on with administrative tasks while tuning into partner priorities and sniffing out great opportunities to connect.
