Corporate Partnerships Executive

---

Job description

About the role

The Corporate Partnerships Executive role is a vital role in our growing fundraising team. The post holder will manage their own diverse portfolio of partnerships spanning a variety of sectors. You will develop and deliver these partnerships through expert stewardship of key contacts and the design and implementation of engagement plans, including fundraising and communications. You will also work with the Senior Corporate Partnerships Manager to onboard new partners too.

This role involves lots of collaboration with the broader organisation and opportunities to get involved in wider charity initiatives too. The role is perfect for an existing Partnerships Executive who is looking to grow their experience in a new role.

About you

You are an outgoing and enthusiastic individual, passionate about driving societal change through partnership working. You are a natural people person who excels at building and maintaining relationships and will be excited about working on a broad range of partnerships, from traditional Charity of the Year relationships through to strategic partnerships.

You are results driven, organised and have experience managing the full fundraising plan cycle from idea generation through to evaluation and reporting. You will be a team player, recognising that we can achieve more working together, but pride yourself on your individual contribution. You will enjoy working in a fast-paced environment and celebrating success.

About us

Carers UK is the leading national charity supporting, advocating for and connecting unpaid carers across the UK.

With over 6.5 million unpaid carers in the UK and 6,000 individuals becoming a carer every day the need to support them is growing and urgent. Unpaid carers save the UK state an estimated £530 million each day and are vital to the friends and family members they support, as well as to the wider community.

The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically affected carers across the country. Our recent polling suggests that the figure for unpaid carers could now be as high as 13.6 million, with an estimated 4.5 million people literally starting to care overnight due to the impact of coronavirus on services and individuals.

This is an exciting time to join Carers UK as we enter our new strategic period, Vision 2025 taking us to our 60th anniversary. Rather than producing a detailed five-year plan we have developed an ambitious direction of travel, recognising the challenges of planning in the ongoing and uncertain environment created by COVID-19. We believe our flexible approach throughout 2020 enabled us to react quickly to the needs of carers, and by adopting a direction of travel, backed up with annual business plans, we will continue to meet the growing needs of carers.

Carers UK relies on voluntary income, our future plans will depend on unrestricted income to meet the growing need.

The closing date for applications is Thursday 9 December 2021 5pm

First interviews will be held week commencing 13 December 2021
