Entry level jobs for the Disability sector

Join Wings for Life and take the lead in shaping one of the most exciting and impactful event portfolios in the charity sector. You will drive the strategy, growth and delivery of a diverse programme of premium fundraising events, mass participation experiences and high-profile partnerships that inspire supporters, engage world-class brands and generate vital funds to find a cure for spinal cord injury.

Your portfolio will span exclusive owned fundraising events such as Mikey’s Mountain Miles, our skiing fundraiser with Mike Tindal MBE; The Clay Day, a premium sporting and hospitality experience with our Formula 1 partners; and two established golf events, including an owned event, Gourmet Golf, and a supporter-led initiative. You will also play a central role in maximising opportunities through major third-party events and partnerships, including the Wings for Life World Run, the London Marathon 2027, and high-profile Red Bull events.

This is more than event management. It is an opportunity to identify new opportunities, develop innovative event concepts and create unforgettable supporter experiences that stand out in a crowded fundraising landscape. Working closely with senior leadership, ambassadors, partners and supporters, you will combine creativity, commercial acumen and flawless execution to grow income, build awareness and strengthen Wings for Life’s position as a leading charity brand. Whether enhancing existing events or creating entirely new experiences within and beyond the Red Bull universe, you will play a pivotal role in delivering ambitious growth and lasting impact.

What We're Looking For

We’re seeking an ambitious, creative and highly organised event leader who thrives on turning great ideas into exceptional experiences. You will have a proven track record of delivering high-quality events, achieving ambitious commercial and fundraising targets, and building strong relationships with a wide range of stakeholders. Equally comfortable developing strategy and rolling up your sleeves to deliver flawless event execution, you will bring the energy, entrepreneurial mindset and attention to detail needed to drive growth across our events portfolio.

As a manager, you will lead and develop our Event & Fundraising Specialist, providing coaching, support and professional development while fostering a collaborative, high-performing culture. You will also play an active role in supporting our individual fundraising programme and championing a ‘one team’ approach across the organisation.

Success in this role will require strong commercial awareness, budget management expertise and the confidence to negotiate, influence and present to senior stakeholders, partners and Board members. You will be adept at managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment, while maintaining a relentless focus on delivering outstanding supporter experiences and maximising return on investment.

Experience working with premium brands, VIP audiences, luxury hospitality or high-end events would be advantageous, as would a passion for identifying new opportunities, creating innovative event concepts and challenging conventional thinking. Above all, you will be a solutions-focused self-starter with exceptional relationship-building skills, a genuine passion for our mission and the drive to help Wings for Life achieve extraordinary impact.

We value experience, talent and results over formal qualifications. If you have the vision, energy and expertise to grow one of the most exciting event portfolios in the charity sector, we'd love to hear from you.

Could you transform relationships into strategic partnerships to help improve the lives of people living with sight loss?

Henshaws is looking for a Strategic Partnerships Manager to drive new income, develop influential partnerships and raise the profile of their Sight Loss Services across Greater Manchester. Working across NHS, local authority, VCSE, community and corporate networks, you'll help secure the funding and partnerships that enable people living with sight loss to thrive.

Location: Manchester/Hybrid, estimated 3 days either in the office or at meetings

Salary: circa £42k per annum

Contract: Permanent

Hours: 35 hours per week (part-time applications welcome)

Benefits: 5 weeks holiday plus 10 bank days

As part of a growing fundraising and business development team, you'll identify new opportunities, build relationships with key decision-makers, and lead on proposals, bids and tenders. You'll also work closely with operational colleagues to develop services that respond to local need and demonstrate the impact of Henshaws' work.

About the role

This is an exciting opportunity to define a new role, build key partnerships and influence the growth of an emerging area within the income generation portfolio.

Day-to-day you can expect to:

• Develop and secure commissioning, contract and funding opportunities across Greater Manchester.
• Build strong relationships with NHS, Local Authority, VCSE, corporate and community partners.
• Lead and support bids, tenders and partnership proposals from opportunity through to submission.
• Represent Henshaws across Greater Manchester networks, forums and partnership groups.
• Manage a pipeline of opportunities, helping to generate sustainable income and long-term impact.

About you

We're looking for someone who is commercially minded, relationship-focused and motivated by values and purpose.

We'll be looking for you to bring:

• Experience in business development, sales, partnerships or income generation, in a relevant space.
• The confidence to build relationships and influence senior stakeholders.
• Experience developing proposals, bids, tenders or funding applications.
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple opportunities at once.
• A proactive approach and the resilience to spot opportunities and see them through.

Experience within the charity, health, education or public sector would be an advantage, but we're equally keen to hear from applicants with transferable skills and a strong track record of generating income and building partnerships.

Why Henshaws?

This is an opportunity to join a values-led organisation with a long history of supporting people living with sight loss and a range of disabilities. You'll play a key role in shaping future services and securing income that has a direct impact on people's lives.
