Our newly created BYB Partnership Manager will be responsible for leading the strategic development of BYB over the next two years, whilst ensuring strong oversight of its operational activities and funded services, to ensure our ambitions are realised.

At governance level, you will lead the strategic intent of the partnership as a whole, responsible for supporting and steering BYB and its member organisations to form, develop and enact the partnerships strategic plan, which includes the medium-term development of BYB as an independent organisation, working with external expertise and the Partnership Board to adopt the appropriate processes to enable this.

Operationally, you will be responsible for ensuring our funded and contracted BYB services are effectively delivered, monitored and reported on. You will be responsible for managing a full-time Coordinator and a Youth Worker, who are responsible for the day-to-day running of BYB youth activities and services.

You will bring your strategic thinking to drive our ambitions and the sustainability of the partnership and bring your operational expertise, efficiency and attention to detail to ensure that delivery of our day to day work is maintained and our practical goals for the partnership are realised. Your role will include supporting the development of funding proposals, maintaining funder and stakeholder relations, maintaining an environment of trust and collaboration so that our partners and stakeholders see BYB as their own and coordinating external expertise around issues such as governance, legal structures and joint policies and procedures.

A strong understanding of how BYB services sits within the wider work of the partner organisations is key, so is using your excellent communication skills to engage different members of the community.

The role will be managed by High Trees Community Development Trust (the lead partner for BYB) and you will report to its Head of Partnerships and Development on operational and strategic matters as well as the steering group as a whole.

In this role you’ll sit squarely at the heart of an ambitious and creative climate action charity working for a zero carbon Britain that belongs to everybody. Part of a three person collective leadership campaign, you'll take responsibility for the evolution of the organisational architecture and resources needed to deliver our mission. Alongside, you’ll work closely with co-directors to forge our strategic direction in an always changing, and challenging, world.

About Possible:

At Possible, we know we need to tackle the climate crisis, and we need to move fast. 

The sheer scale of action required means it will touch everyone’s lives. If we’re going to move at the speed required - and if we’re going to ensure the new world we build is a fair one - people and communities have to be involved. Politicians, corporations and other established institutions will have to play a key role too, but they will only move fast enough once they know their constituents and customers are on board. The climate movement must be a mass movement or it simply won’t achieve its aims.

Whether we’re running tree-planting days or heat-camera treasure hunts, plugging community-owned solar into train lines, enabling flight free holidays, or winning a world-first televised election climate debate, everything we do is about inspiring more people to take more ambitious action on the climate crisis.

Combining personal and local actions with larger systemic change, at Possible we face our climate dread with a can-do attitude and sense of fun.

This role will help us ensure that this work both continues and expands and that we are able to share our learning and best practice with the sector as a whole beyond the reach of the partnerships we are directly involved in. A key part of our work within our partnerships is that of sharing our learning and supporting other organisation to build their capacity and approaches to collaborative working through the development of a range of tools and resources to share with other organisations to support collaborative working practices and system change, and, via this role and the newly created role of Capacity Building Officer which sits within the Partnerships & Development Team, will now be able to further focus on capacity building other organisations.

The role manages our Partnerships and Development team as a whole, which holds responsibility for our Communications and our Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning – ensuring the High Trees voice reaches those it needs to and all our work and communications is underpinned by robust monitoring, evaluation and reporting and managing our Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning Officer and Communications Officer to do so. No specific direct experience in either of these areas is a perquisite, as the subject expertise will sit with the Officers, but a clear understanding of the strategic principles of both communications and Impact measurement and how these sit within an organisation will be needed.

A key part of the role is focused on relationships – both external and internal – and you will have the ability to communicate with ease with a wide and diverse range of individuals, easily building rapport and embodying High Trees ethos and values. You will also build relationships with other stakeholder organisations and businesses interested to utilise their corporate social responsibility to add value to High Trees services.
