We are looking for an experienced Business Development and Relationship Manager to join our team and be responsible for generating new business and fostering long-term relationships with new and existing clients.
This role is an ideal opportunity for someone passionate about making a difference to others while developing a career in business development at an exciting time of growth and development for Chasing the Stigma.

Focused around developing existing relationships, whilst also exploring emerging opportunities for partnership working and income generation, the role will require you to be confident in thinking proactively, to be motivated in getting results, and to constantly assess and respond to the needs of the charity. The role will also require you to work closely with other team members and develop in others a deep commitment to our vision: normalising and humanising mental health.
About the Organisation
Chasing the Stigma is a national mental health charity with big ambitions: to normalise and humanise mental health, prevent suicide, eradicate mental health stigma, and enable everyone to access clear pathways to mental health care and support locally.
We passionately believe in fundamentally changing the way people access mental health support across the UK, as well as educating the nation, to ensure everybody has the best chance when it comes to dealing with their mental health. We believe the best way of doing so is by adopting a person-focused approach, placing lived experience at the heart of everything we do.
The Hub of Hope is the biggest and most comprehensive mental health signposting tool of its kind, bringing together thousands of support services in one place for the first time, and revolutionising the way people interact with mental health services across the UK. It is used by NHS England, Samaritans, Mind, Papyrus and many more important organisations.
Our ground-breaking business training programme, Ambassadors of Hope, continues to be purchased by high profile clients such as the Premier League and the NHS England Mental Health team.
The training has been written from a lived experience point of view and is delivered on a face to face basis, but can also be delivered virtually. Our aim is to train as many people as possible so that mental health training is available to all, rather than a select few.
Since its inception in 2017, Chasing the Stigma and the Hub of Hope have been winners of many national awards, including BIMA, Charity Times and 3rd Sector Care.
