We are looking for an excellent Partnerships Executive to run and manage Tearfund's Partnerships Trips, Events, and to facilitate our engagement with some UK church events and festivals.
Good relationships are key to this role - both internally and externally - so building connections in both spheres is key to this role.
We offer a supportive team environment, where we are always learning, as well as the opportunity to test new ideas and develop our approach to our Events and Trips.
If you are a confident, proactive and self-motivated relationship builder and good at organisation, we would love to hear from you.
Applicants must be committed to Tearfund's Christian beliefs.
Hybrid working: This role is eligible for hybrid working and you will be required to work from the Teddington Tearfund office and from your home by agreement with the line manager.
Contract: This is a part time (21 hours per week) contract. The full time salary is £41,479 per annum and the part time salary is £24,887 per annum. The successful candidate will need to travel to different locations across the UK to facilitate festivals and events as required.
We particularly welcome applications from people with disabilities and those from Black, Asian or Minority Ethnic (BAME) backgrounds (in our UK workforce) as these groups are currently under-represented at Tearfund.
The recruitment process will include specific checks related to safeguarding issues. In addition, personal identification information will be submitted against a Watchlist database to check against criminal convictions as a counter-terror measure.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
