Remote
£39,000 FTE
Full-time or part-time (30 or 37.5 hours a week)
Contract or temporary (Maternity Cover (9-12 months))
Job description

We have an exciting maternity cover opportunity for a skilled relationship manager to join our supportive and growing team. You will manage and help grow our group of delivery partners, communicating the vital importance of improved numeracy for their staff, their business, their customers, or for the adults they support in the community.

You will build strong, mutually beneficial relationships, to support partners to implement and manage our programmes to improve number confidence and skills, as well as spotting opportunities to establish innovative new partnerships.

As Relationship Manager, you will play an important role in realising our vision by building long-term partnerships that provide sustainable impact for the organisation.

We are looking for someone who is flexible, able to pick up the job quickly, and use their own initiative to both strengthen relationships and establish new links. It’s not imperative that you come from the charity sector as long as you can show us that you have relevant transferable skills and an understanding of what it takes to be successful in this role. We welcome applications from people who may have struggled with maths and numbers and have a personal understanding of the experiences of our beneficiaries. This is a fantastic opportunity within a small but ambitious and dynamic organisation making a real difference to people’s lives and livelihoods.

As a charity, National Numeracy operates nationally, and for this role, we welcome applications from across the UK. You can work in the office in Falmer, East Sussex, and/or you can work from home. Our expectation is that you will visit Falmer occasionally during the year when the work requires. While much of the work for this role can be done from home or the office, it will also involve travel to meet with the team and partner organisations across the UK.

The role is a maternity leave cover expected to last between 9-12 months. We welcome applications from candidates looking to work either four or five days per week.
