Head of partnership development jobs

Welcome to Ada!

At Ada, the National College for Digital Skills, our mission is to educate and empower the next generation of diverse digital talent. Through the quality of education we deliver, the depth of our industry partnerships and focus on diversity, we are changing the face of the tech sector, expanding the talent pipeline and transforming lives.

We are a specialist Further Education college, where every 16-19 student takes Computer Science and all of our diverse Higher Level and Degree Apprentices work in skills shortage disciplines in innovative, blue-chip companies.

The digital skills gap is costing the UK economy an estimated £63 billion a year in lost GDP. Ada seeks to fill this skills gap by equipping young with the skills industry actually needs.

Ada was announced by the Prime Minister in December 2014; England’s first new FE College since 1993 and since then we’ve gone from strength to strength including a Good with Outstanding features in our first Ofsted Inspection.

16-19 Provision:

As of 2024, we have 187 16-19 students enrolled. Our most recent results are outstanding; 39% of A level results at A*- B and 74% achieving at least one Distinction or better in their externally assessed Computing BTEC. This makes us the best education institution in the country for this BTEC.

Degree Apprenticeships:

Across our London Victoria and Manchester Ancoats campus, we have 363 apprentices currently enrolled on our Higher and Degree Level Apprenticeships. We specialise in five disciplines at present: software development, data analytics, tech consultancy, cyber security and business analysis, working with a wide range of SMEs and corporate organisations such as PwC, Bank of America, Deloitte, Clearscore, Just Eat, Capita, MHRA, Booking,com and Salesforce.

At present 38% of our learners are female, 51% are from ethnic minority backgrounds and 50% come from low-income households compared to national averages of c. 20%.

This is an exciting time to join Ada with our new state-of-the-art campuses in Victoria, London and Ancoats, Manchester. We’re passionate about building a supportive, values driven environment for both our students and staff.

We are seeking an experienced and motivated Head of Adult Learning, Skills and Employment to join our Senior Management Team and lead one of our core service areas.

This is an exciting opportunity to oversee a wide-ranging, community-based service that supports local residents to develop skills, confidence and pathways into employment. Bringing together our Community Education & Training provision and Employment & Careers services, the role is responsible for ensuring a cohesive offer that supports hundreds of individuals each year from community learning through to work.

A core element of our provision is the delivery of high-quality adult learning, including functional skills (English, maths and ICT), ESOL, community wellbeing, family learning, pathways to employment and selected vocational courses. Our services are shaped by both community need and funding priorities and continue to evolve in response to local demand and emerging opportunities.

Employment support also forms an integral part of our wider offer, both through embedded progression support within Adult Education provision and through separately funded programmes for priority groups, including younger jobseekers (18–24) and older residents (50+). This requires a flexible and responsive approach to programme development, partnership working and service delivery.

Our current provision is primarily funded through Lambeth Adult Learning and the Greater London Authority, with a combined annual budget of approximately £750,000 per year. A significant focus of the role will be overseeing the successful delivery of these contracts and services, ensuring high-quality provision, strong performance and meaningful progression outcomes for residents.

• Experience in managing complex community-based programmes, including adult learning and/or employment support
• A proven track record of leading teams and delivering against funded contracts
• Strong organisational and project management skills
• Excellent communication and partnership-building skills

This role offers the opportunity to shape a key service area at an exciting point of development, working alongside a committed team to deliver meaningful outcomes for local residents.

Due to the nature of our services and the importance of community-based delivery, this role is primarily office based and will suit someone who is passionate about working within community settings and building strong relationships with residents, partners and colleagues. While we are committed to supporting flexibility where possible, the majority of the role will be delivered in person across our services and community venues.

Who we are, what we do

Father Hudson’s Caritas (FHC) is a social and community care charity working across the Catholic Archdiocese of Birmingham.  For over 124 years we have responded to need, helping people to lead fulfilled lives through our range of services and partnerships.

The Role

As our Head of Finance, you will be a key member of FHC’s Senior Management Team, providing strategic and operational leadership across finance and the wider resources portfolio (Finance, IT, Estates and Facilities). Working closely with the CEO and Trustees, you will ensure strong financial planning, robust controls, clear reporting and regulatory compliance. 

As part of this senior role you will line manage the Finance, IT and Facilities Manager.  We’re looking for a values-led leader who will model FHC’s organisational values, including compassion, respect, collaboration and excellence.

Help every child and young person flourish. 
How?  Help us double our income and deepen our impact.

We’re a national charity with a local heartbeat — working with communities so that every child and young person can access the right support, at the right time, in the right way.  Our place-based approach is rooted in early identification, trusted adult relationships, whole child/whole system support and joined-up communities. 

Our model has been successfully funded so far through a unique collective impact funding model across local and central government, schools and philanthropy, and we aim for a broader mix of funders who are committed to transforming their communities.  As we embark on our second decade, we are ready for this next chapter: scaling our place-based model nationally and doubling our annual income from £8m to £16m+.  We’ve built a community of committed supporters across individuals and foundations, and there’s significant opportunity to grow our offering for corporate partners.  To enable this vision, we’re now seeking an exceptional specialist to join us as the Head of Corporate Partnerships, and design and implement a new strategy to create a significant step change in this area.

Reporting to our newly appointed Director of Fundraising, you will be responsible for building up our value proposition, shaping our corporate engagement strategy, and increasing income and range of partnerships in this area.  You will play a key role as a senior leader in our fundraising team, and bring a strong track record of new business development and managing strategic funding partners for the organisations you’ve represented.  Your creativity and ability to inspire the best out of your colleagues has resulted in income growth and success in embedding new ideas and approaches.  Underpinning all of this will be your excellent interpersonal and negotiation skills, ability to build new programmes and initiatives, and enthusiasm to be part of an organisation that is growing and at pace.

If this is the sort of career challenge you are seeking next and want to unlock transformational funding for children across the UK, we’d love to hear from you.  If you’re interested in hearing more, please contact our recruitment partner at Richmond Associates on +44 (0)20 3617 9240 or you can download further details from their website before applying.

The Ri has a remarkable heritage - two centuries of people sharing ideas, sparking curiosity, making science feel alive and inspiring a sense of wonder!
