Join an ambitious charity working with some of the UK’s biggest brands to help create a future without food allergy.

This is a rare opportunity for an ambitious and commercially minded partnerships leader to join a fast-paced, high-profile team at a pivotal moment of growth — leading exciting national partnerships, developing a passionate team and helping shape the future of Natasha's Foundation.

Founded following the high-profile and tragic death of Natasha Ednan-Laperouse from a food allergic reaction at just 15 years old, our mission is deeply personal, urgent and driven by a determination to create lasting change.

Already partnering with leading retailers, food brands and major businesses across the UK, we are looking for an experienced, relationship-driven Head of Corporate Partnerships to help grow and strengthen our high-profile partnership portfolio.

This is far more than a traditional charity partnerships role. You will join a dynamic, ambitious and fast-paced team working closely with nationally recognised brands, senior stakeholders and influential partners to deliver meaningful collaborations that drive income, awareness, engagement and long-term impact.

At Natasha’s Foundation, we are passionate, forward-thinking and hugely ambitious about what we want to achieve. We are building a high-performing fundraising and partnerships team that combines purpose with pace, creativity and commercial thinking. We are looking for someone who thrives in an entrepreneurial environment, enjoys building genuine relationships and is excited by the opportunity to help shape the future of one of the UK’s most important and fast-growing health charities.

Reporting to the Director of Corporate Partnerships and Fundraising, the Head of Corporate Partnerships will lead and support the development of strategic partnerships, manage and inspire a growing team, and help unlock exciting new opportunities across corporate fundraising, brand partnerships, sponsorship, cause-related marketing and employee engagement.

You will be confident engaging with senior decision-makers, passionate about creating innovative partnerships and motivated by being part of a charity with a bold vision for a future without food allergy.

• Develop tailored cultivation, solicitation and stewardship strategies that deliver exceptional donor experiences and long-term engagement,
• Identify and progress new principal gift prospects, strengthening the pipeline and contributing to long-term income growth,
• Work closely with senior leaders, trustees, and internal teams to maximise high-value fundraising opportunities and develop compelling cases for support.

Interviews for this role are provisionally scheduled for 12th June 2026, and will take place on Teams.

Could this be you?
To be successful in this role, you’ll need proven experience of securing six- and seven- figure gifts, from cultivation and stewardship through to “making the ask”.

National charity Hearing Dogs for Deaf People trains dogs to transform the lives of deaf people and provides hearing loss services – because nobody with hearing loss should feel alone.

The Associate Director (Governance, Operations and Finance) is a critical senior role at Tudor. The postholder will provide strategic and operational leadership across governance, finance, data protection, technology, HR compliance and organisational operations - ensuring our systems and processes actively enable, rather than constrain, our mission. 

The ideal person brings a justice-led lens to every aspect of their work: proactively exploring how compliance structures and governance frameworks can be redesigned to serve Tudor’s mission of devolving power and resourcing communities. We’re looking for someone who brings a collaborative, enabling style alongside a genuine drive to deliver - someone who knows when to act decisively and when to slow down and listen. 

The role leads a small, committed operations team and works closely with programme colleagues, external advisers and grant partners. You will sit on the Senior Leadership Team and act as a trusted advisor to the CEO and the Board.
