Our impact
LandAid is the property industry charity, working to end youth homelessness in the UK.
The focus of this permanent role is to manage the development and growth of LandAid’s Strategic Programmes, in line with our new strategy and core mission to end youth homelessness.
This is an exciting role with the potential to create significant social impact at a pivotal moment in the growth of our Strategic Programmes work. As a charitable trust LandAid’s core purpose includes distributing grants to create sustainable routes out of homelessness and into sustainable independent living for young people. The Strategic Programmes’ team are responsible for brokering services for our charity partners that broaden our offer above and beyond our core grants in three different areas:
Pro Bono – brokering free professional services and advice from LandAid’s corporate partners in the property industry, in support of the work of our charity partners.
Employability – establishing sustainable routes out of homelessness for young people through facilitating access to Employment, Education, and Training opportunities, through funding projects and establishing best practice and advice for property sector employers.
Property Donation – establishing new accommodation for young people experiencing or at risk of homelessness, through facilitating access to discounted rents and other in-kind donations of property.
The focus for all three programmes is now on their growth and the maximisation of their social impact. This follows a period of development and refresh for the Pro Bono Programme, and the successful piloting of the newer Employability and Property Donation programmes.
All three programmes have proven to be successful, sustainable and scalable. This role is primarily concerned with maintaining the management of the programmes whilst working alongside the Head of Strategic Programmes to enhance them and expand their reach.
LandAid relies heavily on the voluntary support of our corporate partners from the real estate industry and this role will work closely with these partners to maximise their contribution to our mission to end youth homelessness. Our programmes benefit from incredible support within and across the industry, but we can do more, ask more and achieve more. The role will also require you to work closely with our charity partners to ensure that our programmes deliver against their needs for maximum impact.
