Job description

Are you someone who can build trusted relationships across sectors, develop sustainable income, and turn strategic opportunities into meaningful impact? 

Are you looking for a part-time, senior role where you can shape organisational direction, grow partnerships, and deliver programmes with national and international reach? 

The Design in Mental Health Network (DiMHN) is a UK-based charity dedicated to improving mental health outcomes through better design. We are seeking a strategic and entrepreneurial Head of Partnerships & Programmes to play a central role in our next phase of growth. 

In this role, success will mean building high-value partnerships, growing sustainable income, and delivering programmes that expand DiMHN’s impact and influence. 

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING 

Reporting to the Chief Executive, you will: 

  • Drive sustainable income through a mix of commercial partnerships, membership growth, and charitable funding
  • Develop and lead strategic and commercial partnerships, from opportunity through to delivery
  • Lead the design, delivery, and evaluation of programmes across our core areas of work
  • Grow and engage a diverse membership across commercial and health sector stakeholders
  • Embed strong monitoring, evaluation, and reporting to demonstrate impact and inform decision-making

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

We are looking for a strategic, relationship-driven leader who can translate opportunity into impact, income, and influence. 

Knowledge and experience 

You will bring: 

  • A strong track record of developing and securing income through partnerships, sponsorship, membership, and/or charitable funding
  • Experience building and managing commercial or strategic partnerships, including identifying opportunities and maintaining long-term relationships
  • Experience designing and delivering programmes involving multiple stakeholders, sectors, and/or geographies
  • The ability to develop robust business cases, including assessing opportunities, risks, and resource requirements
  • Experience growing and engaging professional networks, memberships, or cross-sector communities
  • Confidence working in complex, multi-stakeholder environments

Knowledge of the mental health, healthcare, design, or built environment sectors is welcome, but not essential. 

Personal attributes 

You will be: 

  • Strategic and entrepreneurial, able to spot and develop opportunities
  • Collaborative and relationship-led, with the ability to build trust across diverse stakeholders
  • Impact-focused, motivated by delivering measurable outcomes
  • Adaptable and resilient, comfortable working in a growing and evolving organisation 
  • Passionate about improving mental health outcomes and interested in how design can improve people’s lives 

WHAT YOU'LL GET IN RETURN

As part of the team, you will benefit from:

  • Annual leave - 28 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays (pro rata) 
  • Work from home – though in-person meetings with partners and members will be expected in order to build strong working relationships
  • Flexible working - flexibility in how the 21 hours are worked across the week (to be agreed during offer discussions)
