Community Voice isn’t a strand of work for us; it’s what all our work is built from.

We’re recruiting a Community Voice Officer to strengthen that work.

At Together Active, we work across Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent to make it easier for people to be active in ways that work for their lives. But we’re also trying to change how systems behave; how decisions get made, who shapes them, and what counts as evidence.

This role is about embedding lived experience into the way we think, decide and act, as something that influences direction from the start, not as consultation at the end of a process.

You’ll spend time listening directly to communities, to partners, to the spaces where people feel overlooked or misunderstood. You’ll notice where assumptions don’t match reality. You’ll test ideas. You’ll bring insight back into the organisation and into partnerships, and you’ll be prepared to stand by it.

We are looking for an ambitious, commercially minded Partnerships Manager to grow a developing income stream and build transformational relationships that will support our care today and help shape the hospice of tomorrow.

This is a unique opportunity to join Heart of Kent Hospice at a pivotal time. As we work towards our future hospice, you will influence strategy, develop high-value partnerships and create lasting connections that make a tangible difference to local patients and families.

The Role

This is a rare opportunity to take ownership of a growing partnerships portfolio and shape our approach to corporate and community engagement.

Reporting to the Head of Fundraising, you will lead our partnerships income stream, with responsibility for income targets, budgets and strategic planning. You will manage and develop our Partnership Fundraiser while personally leading some of our most valuable relationships.

You will:

• Develop and deliver our annual partnerships strategy and income plan.
• Identify and secure high-value partnership opportunities that deliver sustainable income and long-term value.
• Build and maintain a strong pipeline of prospective supporters and strategic partners.
• Manage key relationships that generate significant income, engagement and support.
• Represent Heart of Kent Hospice across the local business and community landscape.
• Work with fundraising and communications colleagues to maximise opportunities and supporter engagement.
• Develop partnership opportunities linked to our future hospice, building influence and long-term support.

About You

We are looking for someone who combines strategic thinking with warmth, confidence and exceptional relationship-building skills. You will be naturally curious, results-driven and excited by the opportunity to build something with lasting impact.

You may come from fundraising, business development, account management, sponsorship or another partnership-led environment.

Essential Requirements

• Experience in corporate fundraising, partnership management, business development, account management, sponsorship, sales or a related income-generation role.
• Experience of identifying and securing new business opportunities.
• A track record of achieving income, sales or growth targets.
• Experience of developing and managing high-value stakeholder relationships.
• Excellent networking, presentation and communication skills.
• Strong organisational, planning and budget management skills.
• Experience using CRM or database systems.
• Ability to travel independently across Kent and work occasional evenings and weekends.

Desirable Requirements

• Experience of charity fundraising, sponsorship or commercial partnerships.
• Knowledge of fundraising regulations and best practice.
• Existing connections within the Kent business community.

Why Join Heart of Kent Hospice?

This is more than a fundraising role. It is an opportunity to shape meaningful partnerships, influence future plans and play a key part in the next chapter of hospice care across our region.

In return, we offer:

• A supportive, collaborative working environment.
• Hybrid working arrangements.
• The opportunity to lead and grow an important fundraising income stream.
• Professional development and training opportunities.
• The chance to make a direct impact on local patients and families.

This role will work closely with colleagues across Crisis to identify innovative new partnership opportunities, develop and drive forward your sector strategies, influence senior stakeholders, and bring ambitious opportunities to life.

You will be part of a go-getting partnerships team and brand, marketing and fundraising department with ambitious income growth plans. This exciting role is vital to helping us achieve our ambitions.

About you

• An experienced high-value corporate new business fundraiser and relationship builder.
• We’re looking for someone who is a competitive and a self-starter, who can navigate and influence a complex organisation, distil information and package up new high-value propositions at pace.
• Specialist in building and cultivating multiple corporate prospects (from cold) through your pipeline, including COTYs, corporate foundations, strategic partnerships and cause-related marketing.
• Experienced at identifying, pitching and successfully securing six and seven figure corporate partnerships
• Someone who loves building external relationships, always seeking out new opportunities and building networks.
• Strong communication skills, an ability to influence upwards internally and externally, and ability to write succinct, commercially compelling applications, proposals, pitches and vote strategies.
• Commercially savvy, we’re looking for someone who understands their priority sectors and can adapt industry priorities, motivations and funding trends into corporate new business opportunities for Crisis.
• Someone who has experience spotting the partnership opportunities that others may miss and is proactive and solutions-focussed enabling them to turn opportunities into proposals that can be converted into sector-leading partnerships.

PURPOSE OF ROLE

Major donors and philanthropists are currently responsible for over a quarter of Caudwell Youth’s annual income – due in part to the generosity of the networks of our founder, John Caudwell.

As Caudwell Youth enters its fourth year, we are seeking a Senior Philanthropy and Corporate Partnerships manager to help us expand beyond our strong founder-led base into a sustainable major donor and corporate supporter portfolio.

Proactive and commercially-minded, you will be confident driving and developing all stages of the major donor and corporate supporter stewardship process. Confidence in engaging in new business research, prospecting, initial meetings and pitches is a must, as you will be responsible for growing our small pipeline of supporters and warm prospects into a long-term income stream.

This is essential to Caudwell Youth’s future sustainability, with corporate partnerships and major donor income currently making up 30% of Caudwell Youth’s annual fundraising income (forecast to be around £450,000 this year).

Our ambition is to increase this revenue stream by around 50% to over £800,000 by 2030, in order to support more at-risk young people from across the UK, as set out in our recently launched strategy, Going National.

This is a role for a self-starter who is excited to drive high value growth and be a key part of Caudwell Youth’s upward trajectory, working within a small but dynamic fundraising team. It offers significant opportunity to shape and lead this area of fundraising as it grows.

You will be an experienced fundraiser with a proven track record of securing major gifts of four, five and six figure gifts, familiarity with managing corporate partnerships and evidence of growing and developing new pipelines and revenue streams.

You will own a significant portion of this income stream, with responsibility for securing new high-value relationships and growing existing supporters.

• Face-to-face meetings and events
• Unique ways to be consulted on and engage with our work
• Opportunities to be recognised.
