Introduction:

The UK has a problem with numbers, and it is holding us back. As a nation, numeracy levels are significantly below the average for developed countries; and as individuals, nearly half the working-age population has the expected numeracy level of a primary school child. Not getting on with numbers blights lives and livelihoods, contributing to pervasive problems from unemployment to poor health and debt. And it costs the UK economy a staggering £25 billion a year. At National Numeracy, our mission is to empower children and adults in the UK to get on with numbers so they can fulfil their potential at work, home and school. Our work improves how people understand and work with numbers in everyday life, sparking better opportunities and brighter futures.

“To overcome your fears, you’ve got to face them head on, and that’s what I did, with the National Numeracy Challenge. Numbers don’t scare me anymore. . . Improving my numeracy hasn’t just helped me with my kids, it’s helped me at work too. I’ve enhanced my CV and future job prospects.” Jason 

Our work is needed now more than ever before. This is why we have embarked on an exciting new strategy to make tackling poor numeracy an urgent, national issue. However, we will only achieve significant and lasting change by engaging other organisations to support and fund our work. We work with a wide range of partners: the government, corporate supporters, charitable trusts and foundations, education/training providers and employers including the NHS, unions and third sector organisations.

We are looking to recruit an exceptional Partnerships Manager to join our growing team and help meet increased demand for our support. The postholder will work closely with the Chief Executive and broader partnerships team to help manage and grow our fundraising programme, which focuses on corporate partnerships, trusts, and foundations. This exciting role will suit a creative relationship builder, with the tenacity to grow support through partnerships that align with the charity’s aims.

You’ll need to communicate the vital importance of our goals in a way that persuades organisations to work with and, crucially, to fund our work. New business development and ongoing relationship management are crucial as we seek to establish long-term partners and sustainable income streams for the organisation. As Partnerships Manager, you will play an important role in realising our vision.

We are looking for someone who is flexible, a self-starter and able to use their own initiative to generate ideas as well as leads. 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.

National Numeracy is based in Lewes, East Sussex, but with significant home working potential. The expectation is that you will be in Lewes at least occasionally when the work requires it but we offer significant flexibility opportunities. The role may include occasional travel to London and beyond.

We believe our flexible approach throughout 2020 enabled us to react quickly to the needs of carers, and by adopting a direction of travel, backed up with annual business plans, we will continue to meet the growing needs of carers.

Carers UK relies on voluntary income, our future plans will depend on unrestricted income to meet the growing need.

The closing date for applications is Thursday 9 December 2021 5pm

Remote Working:

The majority of SCUK employees are currently working remotely within the UK in line with UK Government guidance. Commencing July 2021 we will transition to flexible and hybrid ways of working (i.e. a mixture of remote/home and office-based working) as social distancing restrictions ease.

We are happy to discuss flexible working options at interview.

Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion: 

Save the Children UK is committed to diversity and equality of opportunity in all aspects of our work both external and internal. We strive to be an inclusive employer and particularly encourage applications from under-represented groups such as returning parents or carers who are re-entering work after a career break, people who are LGBT+, from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic backgrounds, with a disability, impairment, learning difference or long-term condition, with caring responsibilities, from different nations and regions, and from less advantaged socioeconomic backgrounds.
