About The Access Project

In the UK today, students from the most advantaged backgrounds are six times more likely to make it to a top university compared to their least advantaged peers. To change this, The Access Project supports students from disadvantaged backgrounds to access top universities, through a unique combination of tuition and in-school mentoring. We work with them to make good applications, get the grades and transition to university.

Our approach works: our students are more than twice as likely to place at top universities compared to similar peers.

Through the COVID crisis, we have supported students by rapidly moving all provision online. In summer 2020, we were selected as a Tuition Partner for the highly competitive National Tutoring Programme, in recognition of the quality of our work. This partnership has enabled us to expand and we now serve 1,700 students in London, the East and West Midlands and Bradford. As the country emerges from COVID, tackling educational disadvantage is an urgent social challenge - a challenge we aim to meet by expanding our footprint and reaching more students than ever before. The Access Project has established partnerships with leading companies who are committed to social mobility, want to provide volunteering opportunities for their staff and recognise the value of our work.

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 13th May 2021 5pm

First interviews will be held week commencing Monday 24th May 2021

Build your corporate fundraising experience within a supportive environment.

This is a really exciting time to join this charity. They are nice and busy and have had a successful year for corporate fundraising, hence recruiting this new role.

This will be a mixed role, both account management and new business, so a great opportunity to get exposure to both.

The Corporate Partnerships Executive will work on mid-value partnerships, around the £50k level, although striving for more will always be encouraged if you’d like to gain experience in larger accounts.

It’s likely there will be a slight weighting towards account management, although it does depend on the person, and if the successful candidate would prefer to do more new business, this can also be arranged.

It’s a really inclusive team and if you want to develop your skills in the corporate fundraising world, this is a great team to do it in.

As well as being part of a successful and supportive corporate team, there are lots of other execs across the fundraising team and organisation, so the peer-to-peer support is strong as well.

The Role

As the Royal British Legion reaches its 100th anniversary and looks forward to the future, our valuable fundraising relationships with companies are more important than ever. We have a successful track record of securing and nurturing partnerships with some of the UK’s best-known businesses, which deliver multi-million pounds worth of income and additional benefits. This role will be integral to ensuring that we continue to find new companies with which we can build sustainable, mutually beneficial, award-winning partnerships.

Facing great challenges in the post-pandemic world – from the increasing needs of the Armed Forces community to a competitive third sector – you will need to be a passionate, self-motivated and entrepreneurial fundraiser. With a background in new business corporate fundraising or private sector sales and marketing, you will understand how to engage businesses, work with stakeholders at any level, and identify synergies between our work and their objectives. You should have successful working knowledge of the new business cycle, including initial research and building a pipeline, making approaches to companies, building partnership frameworks, and closing the deal. Underpinned by knowledge of the economy and the charity sector, you should be able to create and deliver prospecting plans with creativity and tenacity.

With responsibility for two Officers, you will need to demonstrate experience of managing, inspiring and mentoring people to enable them to do their best work. You should be comfortable with building relationships quickly, whether that’s with business stakeholders or your colleagues and wider teams in the Legion. You need to be a passionate advocate for corporate partnerships, the Legion and the Armed Forces community, whilst also recognising that we need to safeguard our brand and reputation. In return, you will become part of a high performing, supportive and friendly team of fundraisers, committed to future success.

Please note this role is based at our Head Office, which is located at Haig House, 199 Borough High Street, London, SE1 1AA. Currently, the role will be home-based, with a degree of flexibility available when offices open again.
