The Kensington + Chelsea Foundation is looking for an experience, ambitious and tenacious fundraiser to build impactful partnerships with local businesses.
We are an independent local charity which was founded in 2008 and we're now in an exciting phase of growth. We want to increase our profile, our income and, most importantly, our impact. While our borough is often associated with wealth and affluence, it also has areas of severe deprivation. 33% of children in K+C are eligible for Free School Meals, life expectancy between residents from different wards varies by nearly 2 decades and in-work poverty has increased by 46% since 2020. Our vision is of a borough where every resident has the opportunity to live happy, healthy, fulfilled lives. We identify and support impactful local projects which improve the lives and life chances of our most vulnerable and disadvantaged residents.
We play a key role in responding to emergencies in our community such as the tragedy at the Grenfell Tower and the Covid-19 pandemic, alongside our longer-term work with some of the most disadvantaged communities in the borough to improve wellbeing and opportunities.
The Corporate Partnerships Manager fulfils a key function within our small team, with responsibility for managing our relationships with local businesses and schools to increase our annual income. The role is part time - 4 days per week and we are willing to consider flexible working options.
