Please submit your CV and a covering letter answering the following 4 questions (no more than 500 words each): 

1. Please tell us about a community-based project, activity, or initiative you have been involved in that supported people’s wellbeing, independence, or connectedness. What approach did you take to make sure it was inclusive and person-led, and how did you help shape or measure the difference it made? 

2. This role involves coordinating multiple workstreams and partners to deliver a complex, evolving project. Can you share an example of a time when you had to balance different priorities, organise people or activities, and keep things on track to achieve positive results? Please include the tools or systems you used to manage the work, how you maintained progress, and how you addressed any challenges along the way. 

3. The Connected Communities Project, which includes the Community Connectors (previously known as Social Prescribing Advisers) is rooted in collaboration and partnership. Please describe a time you built or strengthened relationships with community organisations, local groups, or other stakeholders to achieve shared goals. What helped make that partnership effective, and what did you learn from the experience? 

4. Community Action Redbridge’s work is driven by values of social justice, equity, and community-led change. What do these values mean to you personally, and how would you bring them into your approach as a leader within the Connected Communities Project? You might want to reflect on how you’ve championed fairness, inclusion, or empowerment in your past work or life experience.

We will be reviewing applications and interviewing candidates on a rolling basis, so early applications are encouraged.

Contract: Full-time, 14-month maternity cover
Salary: £38,500
Closing date: Monday 1st December

Community TechAid is an ambitious and impactful charity, working to make access to technology, connectivity and digital skills a right, not a privilege. They provide refurbished devices to those who need them most, deliver digital inclusion projects, and champion sustainability through e-waste reuse and recycling.

Charity People are searching for a Partnerships and Engagement Manager to join their team on a 14-month maternity cover contract. This is a key role, responsible for developing and managing relationships with corporate and community partners, amplifying their voice, and helping scale impact across South London and beyond.

About the role

This role will lead the corporate engagement strategy, working with major financial institutions and tech firms to secure device donations, fundraising support and volunteering opportunities. The role also manages a passionate and dedicated network of grassroots partners, oversees device distribution, and support organisations working to end digital exclusion.

This role also includes line management of our Volunteer Coordinator, supporting digital inclusion projects, and representing Community TechAid externally at events and meetings.

"Working at Community TechAid is inspiring, challenging, and truly rewarding. Every day I get to see the real difference our work makes and how it changes people's lives. I actually started here as a volunteer, and I've loved growing into my current role as part of such a supportive and passionate team." - Stephanie Charbine, Partnerships and Engagement Manager
