Centrepoint is the UKs leading charity for homeless young people aged 16 to 25 years that aims to give each person we support a future. Our vision is to end youth homelessness. While we pursue this vision, our immediate focus is on safeguarding, providing vulnerable young people with a place to call home and a chance to acquire the skills they need to build a better future.

Centrepoint works directly in London, Manchester, Yorkshire and the North East of England, and collaborates actively with similar organisations right across the UK.

We're looking for an experienced Senior Employer Relationship Officer, based in London, to build meaningful partnerships with employers, creating employment opportunities that help young people achieve their career goals.

• Developing strong partnerships with corporate organisations, supporters, and stakeholders.

• Promoting the programme through presentations, employer engagement activities, events, and stakeholder meetings.
• Tracking performance, maintaining accurate records, and evidencing impact against targets.
• Supporting wider employability initiatives and corporate-facing events.
• Office-based working.
