St Albans & District Foodbank is looking for someone who enjoys building relationships, spotting opportunities and making things happen.
This is a brand-new role and an opportunity to help shape how we grow support across our community. Working closely with the CEO, you'll develop partnerships with businesses, trusts, schools, churches and community organisations, helping to secure the income and relationships that enable our work to grow.
We're much more than a foodbank. Alongside emergency food, we provide access to financial advice, mental health support and community kitchens, working with partners to help people move beyond hardship.
We're looking for someone who is confident meeting new people, enjoys networking and can turn a good conversation into a lasting partnership. You might already work in fundraising, business development, account management or partnerships, but most importantly you'll be proactive, organised and motivated by making a difference in your local community.
If you're excited by the chance to build something, influence the future of a growing charity and see the direct impact of your work, we'd love to hear from you.

Charity People is delighted to be working in partnership with The Smallpeice Trust as they recruit a Partnerships Manager to join their ambitious and growing Business Development team.
The Smallpeice Trust is one of the UK's leading STEM education charities, inspiring young people to explore careers in engineering, technology and science through transformative programmes delivered in partnership with businesses, funders and educators across the country.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone to help shape the next phase of the Trust's growth. With a strong foundation of long-standing supporters and an exciting new five-year strategy, the organisation is increasingly focused on securing larger, multi-year strategic partnerships that create meaningful impact for young people whilst building sustainable income for the future.
The Partnerships Manager will play a pivotal role in identifying, developing and securing new funding partnerships whilst also managing a portfolio of existing supporters. Working closely with colleagues across marketing, programme delivery and impact, you'll develop compelling partnership opportunities, build relationships with senior stakeholders and contribute directly to the Trust's ambitious growth plans.
Roles and Responsibilities
Business Development & New Partnerships
This role will be at the forefront of the Trust's growth ambitions, helping to identify and secure the next generation of strategic funding partners. Working with a broad range of organisations across industry, education and philanthropy, you'll build meaningful relationships that create lasting impact for young people while generating sustainable income for the Trust. This role will:
- Identify, develop and secure new corporate and strategic funding partnerships.
- Build and maintain a strong pipeline of high-value partnership opportunities.
- Develop compelling, costed proposals and partnership packages.
- Secure multi-year partnership agreements that support the organisation's long-term strategy.
- Represent the Trust at networking events, conferences and stakeholder meetings.
- Work collaboratively across teams to identify and maximise new opportunities.
Partnership Management
- Manage a portfolio of existing corporate and strategic partners.
- Build strong, long-term relationships with key stakeholders.
- Produce reports, presentations and partnership updates.
- Identify opportunities to grow existing partnerships and deepen engagement.
- Coordinate with internal colleagues to ensure excellent partner experiences and programme delivery.

About You
We're looking for an ambitious and entrepreneurial relationship builder who enjoys developing new opportunities and turning conversations into meaningful partnerships.
You will bring:
- A proven track record in business development, partnerships, account management or fundraising.
- Experience securing significant income, sponsorship or commercial partnerships.
- Strong proposal writing and presentation skills.
- Confidence building relationships with senior stakeholders and decision-makers.
- Excellent communication and influencing skills.
- A proactive approach and the ability to identify and pursue new opportunities independently.
- Experience managing multiple priorities and delivering against targets and deadlines.
- The ability to thrive within a collaborative and growing organisation where ideas are welcomed and initiative is encouraged.
Experience within charities would be welcomed but is not essential. We are particularly interested in hearing from candidates with backgrounds in partnerships, business development, sponsorship, account management, education, STEM, membership, commercial or wider relationship management roles.
One of the things that makes The Smallpeice Trust special is its culture. With a flat structure, highly engaged leadership team and supportive colleagues, this is an environment where people are encouraged to take ownership, spot opportunities and make things happen. As the organisation continues to grow its strategic partnerships programme, you'll have genuine scope to shape your portfolio and make a lasting impact.
