Who We’re Looking For

An enthusiastic and diligent team player with a passion for educational equality and inclusive hiring. You’ll thrive on building relationships, to creating a brilliant, supportive experience for applicants on their journey from start to finish. You’ll also bring a meticulous eye for detail and a commitment to safeguarding through thorough compliance checks and understand the importance of safer recruitment practices. If you're someone who combines people-first energy with process driven precision, we'd love to hear from you.

We welcome candidates from a wide range of backgrounds. Experience in the following areas may be particularly useful, but we understand that these skills can be gained in many different ways.

• Carrying out pre-employment checks such as Right to Work, DBS, or reference verification
• Managing onboarding or admissions processes and ensuring documentation is complete and accurate
• Handling sensitive or confidential information in line with safeguarding or GDPR requirements
• Coordinating compliance processes, audits, or record-keeping

We promote a supportive, collaborative, and inclusive working environment and are guided by our core values. These values are at the heart of our organisation’s personality. 

The work we do at Money and Mental Health has a real impact for people with mental health problems. As a core part of our charity, the Mental Health Accessible (MHA) team is on a mission to make everyday essential services – like banking, energy, water and telecoms – genuinely accessible for people experiencing mental health problems.

We do this by working directly with firms – and we’ve worked with leading providers from across essential sectors, including Lloyds Banking Group, HSBC UK, Nationwide, Co-operative Bank and Ovo. 

Whether it's a full MHA accreditation, or bespoke consultancy on inclusive service design, reviewing customer communications or amplifying the voices of people with lived experience within processes, every part of what we do drives real, systemic change.

We’re looking for a proactive, passionate and detail-oriented Strategic Partnerships Officer to support the growth and delivery of our consultancy work, within the Mental Health Accessible programme. This role is ideal for someone looking to build an impact-driven career in consultancy, project management or partnerships, with hands-on involvement across business development and client relationship management.

If you're passionate about mental health, social justice and using evidence to improve lives, we’d love to hear from you.

Key tasks in the role will include: 

• Project management & delivery: Assist in coordinating client-facing consultancy projects, ensuring clear timelines, responsibilities and smooth cross-functional collaboration.

• Business development: Support new business pipeline growth, help draft pitches, conduct outreach and build relationships with potential and existing clients.

• Copywriting & communications: Draft, edit and proofread consultancy outputs, proposals and social media content to ensure clear and accurate messaging.

• Meeting & record management: Organise internal and client meetings, maintain accurate documentation including agendas, notes and follow-ups.

• Reporting & analysis: Contribute to internal reporting on business development and financial forecasts, tracking metrics and targets.

• Administrative & organisational support: Assist senior leaders and other teams within the charity to deliver our programme of research and consultancy work.
