Opportunity Fund – Backing bold ideas and building a stronger sector.

The Opportunity Fund is a new fund being developed by the organisation to give the charity the flexibility to support work that sits outside their core priorities but has real potential to make change happen.

They’re using this fund to back bold thinking early. That includes new ideas, pilot projects and untested approaches. They’ll also support promising work that’s ready to grow or respond to urgent needs. Some of the best ideas start small, and need backing before they’re proven.

Through this fund they will:

• Support innovation through early-stage work and pilots, including projects that sit outside their main priority areas
• Strengthen leadership and skills across the sector by investing in tools, training, networks and collaboration
• Support inclusion by backing leaders from underrepresented communities and helping organisations diversify how they are led

This fund is also part of how the charity will support the long-term strength of the voluntary and community sector. It gives them space to respond quickly, test new approaches and back the people shaping the future of social change.

The Role

The Opportunity Fund Partnership Development Manager plays a central role in supporting funding opportunities aligned with the objectives of the Opportunity Fund. This role combines relationship-building and programme development to ensure the Opportunity Fund achieves the maximum impact.

This role will be responsible for working closely with the CEO and the Strategy, Research and Engagement team to initially identify possible opportunities for funding, through to managing the relationship with organisations once funding is awarded. This will include remaining in tune with sector insights and development across philanthropy, civil society and public policy.

The Candidate

The successful candidate will be proactive and ambitious, with a real interest in innovation in philanthropy to delivery greater social change. You will have proven experience developing and managing partnerships, with experience of engaging a range of stakeholders including funders, community organisations, and sector experts.

You will have experience of designing or supporting programme delivery with a track record of scoping and delivering research or development projects that inform funding or strategic decisions.

If you are interested to learn more about the position, please apply with your CV only. Should your profile be successful, a relevant consultant will be in touch to explore the role, and experience, in more detail.

The role is ideal for someone with experience in fundraising and/or business development interested in leading the work of a small but impactful and highly respected charity in the health and social care space.

- With a strong research function, which is able to credibly and impactfully bring together the insights of people who experience health inequalities and people with long-term conditions in a way that informs and improves the practice of decision makers in the NHS and social care.

- With a skilled lived experience team, that works to develop the skills and knowledge of decision makers in health and care around co-production and co-design, and invests in the skills and agency of people with lived experience of health and care.

- With a strong focus on reducing health inequalities and a commitment to anti-racist and anti-oppressive approaches to our work.

We ask all staff to take part in pre-arranged team meetings which take place every six weeks in our office space.

We are happy to discuss how this sits in your life. This can be agreed by your line manager.

Equality and inclusion

As reflected in our Equality Action Plan, we are committed to being a truly diverse organisation. We want to ensure that our trustees, staff members, lived experience partners and volunteers come from a wide range of backgrounds, each bringing their own unique perspectives and experiences. We want to ensure that everyone feels heard and is fully able to participate and thrive.

We currently have an under-representation of people from racial and ethnic minority groups in managerial roles in our organisation and so would particularly welcome applications from people from these groups.

We welcome applications from people who have been in contact with the criminal justice system. For some roles, you may be asked to undergo a basic or enhanced DBS check, but you will only be deemed ineligible for roles which relate to any offences on your criminal record.

We have a range of benefits in place to ensure everyone can thrive, for example:
