About the role:

This is an exciting opportunity for a dynamic self-starter looking to enter the international development sector, with the chance to develop your corporate fundraising skills, including relationship building, account management, and prospect research.

The Corporate Partnerships Intern will be a vital member of the fundraising team, playing an important role in helping retain and grow Transaid’s income.

You will work closely with the Corporate Partnerships Officer to assist with the account management of a number of successful partnerships from the UK transport and logistics industry, as well as helping to research and secure new income and in-kind support.

About Transaid:

Transaid transforms lives through safe, available, and sustainable transport.

Founded by Save the Children, The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT), and its Patron, HRH The Princess Royal, the international development organisation shares 20 years’ worth of expertise from multiple countries with partners and governments – empowering people to build the skills they need to transform their own lives.

We focus on professional driver training and rural access to transport, to solve two of the biggest transport challenges in economically developing countries:

In sub-Saharan Africa, road deaths are the third biggest killer following HIV/AIDS and Malaria (Source: The World Bank) and the problem will only rise with the growing population. Drivers are at risk every time they sit behind the wheel due to a lack of legal enforcement and training, and badly maintained and overloaded vehicles.

We work with partners and governments to train driver trainers and to create and promote far-reaching improvements in driving standards, including curricula development. Our driver training programmes make drivers more competent, vehicles safer, and reduce death and injury on the road.

People living in rural areas of Africa often struggle to access vital services. Around 75% of maternal deaths can be avoided through timely access to vital childbirth-related care (Source: The World Bank).

We enable people living rural communities to reach health services when they are in need. We strengthen transport systems and provide access to appropriate forms of transport, including bicycle ambulances.

We are a unique, passionate organisation with the technical expertise to solve these transport challenges, but we couldn’t make a tangible, sustainable difference without our partnerships within the UK transport and logistics industry.

Funding from the transport industry, fundraising challenges and individual support allows us to carry our work where we see the greatest need and pilot new ideas to understand their impact and appropriateness. We can then seek funding from international donors to implement those solutions at a much larger scale, leveraging the industry’s initial investment.

Main Responsibilities:

· Support with the account management of a number of corporate relationships, helping to maximise income and in-kind support

· Work closely with colleagues to collate information, and produce engagement materials and reports for corporate partners

· Keep up to date with fundraising and industry information, as well as developments in Transaid’s overseas programmes

· Represent Transaid at industry and sector events

· Other duties as agreed with the Corporate Partnerships Officer and Head of Fundraising

· Ensure that all work conforms to Transaid’s policies and guidelines

 Person Specification

Essential:

· Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the energy and passion to engage people and excite them about Transaid

· Experience of working in an office environment

· Hard working, professional, team-player, with a can do approach

· Enthusiasm, creativity and commitment to the work of Transaid

Desirable:
