Corporate Partnerships Development Officer

Closing Date: 22nd April

Interviews: 6th & 7th May

We seek to recruit a Corporate Partnerships Development Officer to join our award-winning Corporate Partnerships team within our Income & Engagement directorate.

The Corporate Partnerships team comprises three sub-teams: Account Management, New Partnerships and Strategic Change. This role will provide support to the New Partnerships and Strategic Change sub-teams.

The New Partnerships team manages a portfolio of potential new corporate partners across a range of sectors and industries. The team exists to build long-term, high-value and mutually beneficial partnerships with national companies.

The Strategic Change team acts as trusted experts, helping corporate partners to identify challenges for their customers and staff affected by dementia and devise innovative solutions. By working alongside people with dementia, the team focuses on ensuring that people with dementia are better supported across industries.

This is an exciting opportunity to play an integral role in an impressive Partnerships team, offering the chance to learn and develop corporate fundraising skills in a supportive environment. Whether it’s representing us at events, responding to enquiries from potential partners, or providing advice on how to better support customers and staff affected by dementia, this is a varied role with opportunities to collaborate with a range of stakeholders.

This is predominantly a homeworking role, but you will be required to travel to attend team days and sector events, so you must reside in the UK, have the correct right to work documents to work in the UK and be willing to travel when required.

We’re committed to promoting equality, diversity and inclusion and strongly encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, including those with lived experience of dementia.
