At Special Olympics GB, we're changing the way people think about intellectual disability.

Every day, our athletes challenge expectations, inspire communities and demonstrate what's possible when people are given the opportunity to thrive.

Corporate and commercial partnerships are fundamental to making that happen. They enable us not only to generate sustainable income, but to create opportunities for our athletes through volunteering, employment, leadership, education, inclusion and powerful brand collaborations.

As we build towards the Special Olympics World Summer Games in Chile and continue to grow our national movement, we're looking for an exceptional partnership professional to lead and evolve this work.

This isn't a traditional charity partnerships role. We're looking for someone who combines exceptional stewardship with commercial curiosity, entrepreneurial thinking and creativity. Someone who enjoys spotting opportunities, challenging conventional approaches and designing partnerships that create genuine shared value.

You'll inherit an exciting portfolio of national partners (Coca-Cola Europacific Partners, Toyota GB, Fuller’s pubs, Ocean Outdoor, Mitsubishi Electric UK and others), lead a small but ambitious team, and work alongside the Director of Development to shape the future of one of the UK's most exciting purpose-led partnership programmes.

The Marketing Projects & Partnerships Lead will play a pivotal role within the Bikeability Trust's Strategy team, supporting both the Marketing & Communications team and Fundraising team to achieve their 5-year strategic goals – namely income generation and dynamic behavioural change programmes.

This is a project management focused marketing role, spanning marketing project delivery, partnership activation, and stakeholder engagement. The role requires an exceptionally organised individual who can manage and prioritise multiple concurrent projects, ensuring activity is planned, aligned, and delivered on time. 

You will be responsible for keeping complex workstreams moving—coordinating internal teams and external partners—while bringing a solid understanding of marketing channels and approaches to support effective delivery.

About the Role 

This is a strategic, hands-on opportunity to lead our fundraising activity, drive sustainable income growth and position Metabolic Support as the leading international patient advocacy group for IMDs. Reporting to the Chief Executive, you'll shape and deliver an ambitious fundraising strategy, build relationships with trusts, foundations, corporates and major donors, and work across our small, agile team to embed fundraising principles into everything we do. The role has no direct reports but requires a collaborative, proactive approach and the confidence to work autonomously. 

Key Responsibilities 

• Develop and deliver an integrated fundraising strategy covering corporate partnerships, individual giving, major donors, trusts and foundations, legacies, community and events 

• Lead on high-value bids and build compelling donor propositions 

• Manage donor stewardship, CRM (Nutshell), budgets and board reporting 

• Instil fundraising principles across the team and maximise income opportunities organisation-wide 
   

About You 

• Proven fundraising or income generation experience with expertise in at least one area: trusts and foundations, corporates or major donors 

• Strong relationship-builder with excellent written and verbal communication skills 

• Highly organised, self-starting and comfortable managing competing priorities 

• Committed to Metabolic Support's mission; willing to travel in the UK and internationally

Purpose of the Post: 

This role provides the administrative foundation of the organisation, ensuring its day-to-day operations run smoothly, efficiently and reliably. The Administrator is the central point through which systems, information and processes are held and maintained. 

The postholder is responsible for coordinating membership administration and core systems. They ensure accurate record-keeping, support financial and governance processes, and coordinate the practical delivery of organisational activity. 

Through consistent, attentive administration, this role enables the wider organisation to function effectively. It supports a coherent, responsive service that members can trust and rely on, making an important contribution to the stability, professionalism and effective operation of the Association and, in turn, the wider field of dramatherapy. 

Working Hours & Location 

This is a part-time role (22.5 hours per week) and is home-based.

The postholder will have flexibility in how their contracted hours are worked across the week, subject to the operational needs of the Association. At least 15 hours will need to be worked during normal business hours to attend team meetings, respond to member enquiries, and fulfil key organisational responsibilities. Working arrangements will be agreed with the line manager and reviewed as required in supervision. 

The postholder will also be required to attend the Directors' Meeting, which takes place once a month, either on a Saturday morning or on a weekday evening. Attendance at these meetings forms part of the contracted hours for this role. 

There may also be occasional requirements to attend other meetings or events, such as the annual conference or team away days, which may fall outside the postholder's usual working pattern. Where additional hours are worked to attend such events, time off in lieu (TOIL) will be offered within the following two weeks.
