Job Details

The Organisation

The Brokerage is a social mobility charity, based in the City of London, focused on helping young Londoners from disadvantaged backgrounds access careers in financial, professional and related services. Last year they helped over 8,000 young people explore their career potential, working with over 100 corporate partners and around 200 state schools, supported by hundreds of volunteers.

It is an exciting time to be joining the charity; their work closely aligns with the government's National Careers Strategy, with demand from teachers for employer-related opportunities on the increase. Their programmes are currently broadly divided into education and talent development alongside a small fee-based recruitment service, supported by a small team responsible for partnerships, income generation and marketing.

The focus will be to secure larger grants and multi-year funding in order to put key programmes on a secure longer-term footing. Working closely with the Head of Partnerships and Income Generation you will review and potentially increase the resource put behind awareness-raising, traditional and social media activity, fundraising and fee generation.
