About CARE
CARE International is a global humanitarian organisation leading the fight to end poverty in the world’s most challenging situations. Women and girls are at the centre of our work, because we cannot overcome poverty and inequality until all people have equal rights and opportunities. We know that when a crisis erupts, women are often the first to pick up the pieces, so we work alongside women, so they have the power to make change where it’s needed most. Founded in 1945, CARE currently works in over 100 countries and last year alone reached 53.4 million people through nearly 1,500 projects.

Why work for CARE International UK?

Initial targets are achievable and grounded in our current situation, and there is room for these to grow ambitiously. This is your chance to launch a programme that will be vital to CARE’s mission, with the scope to shape it around what inspires and motivates you. Along the way, you’ll develop rewarding two-way relationships with our supporters, bringing them closer to the impact they are making for women and communities worldwide.

• Create and deliver compelling, high-quality partnership proposals and pitches. 

• Negotiate partnership terms and ensure smooth handovers to account managers for long-term growth. 

• Work collaboratively across teams to embed safeguarding and compliance into all partnership activity. 

• Contribute to the continuous improvement of corporate fundraising strategy, bringing energy and innovation to the team. 

About you

• A proven track record of securing and delivering five/six-figure corporate partnerships. 

• Strong experience in Cause Related Marketing and commercial negotiations.

We provide a wide range of benefits which will reward your hard work, motivate you, and inspire you to work to improve the lives of children every day. 

Closing date: 21 September 2025

We apply this to our workforce and we are committed to developing and supporting a diverse, equitable, and inclusive organisation where all employees have a sense of belonging and feel that they can be "Free to Be Me". We are not looking for just one type of person - we want to recruit people who can add fresh perspectives, innovative ideas or challenge that disrupts the risk of group think. 

We are especially interested in people whose childhood experiences - of life on a low income, of migration, of being in a racialised community, of the care system, of being LGBT+ or in an LGBT+ family or living with (or with someone with) a disability - help us to see things we might otherwise miss. Whatever your story is we want to hear it because we know that different voices, ideas, perspectives and knowledge, working together will enable us to better the lives of children around the world. This is the reason why we are all here.
