At the Canal & River Trust, we believe life’s better by water, and that the waterways we take care of have an important contribution to make to the health and wellbeing of local communities and economies.

About us
Crisis is the national charity for homeless people. We know that homelessness is not inevitable. We know that together we can end it.

Since the coronavirus outbreak began, our society has pulled together to achieve extraordinary things. Thousands of people sleeping rough have been temporarily housed in a matter of weeks, and many more were prevented from becoming homeless due to emergency changes to legislation.

As we begin to emerge from lockdown, we now stand at a crossroads: we can build on the incredible progress that has been made by helping everyone move into a secure and permanent home; or we risk seeing thousands of people being forced into homelessness.

We are recruiting for a Corporate Account Manager to join our expanding Partnerships and Philanthropy team, to work alongside our passionate supporters and beneficiaries to bring an end to homelessness in Great Britain.

About the role
As a Corporate Account Manager, you will work across some newly won accounts and get stuck in to new business, as part of a Partnerships team of 7 to help drive our next few years of growth and innovation.

The Partnerships team merged with the Philanthropy team three years ago, to maximise the cross over potential in networks and relationships between the two audiences. This has led to a new strategy, some big wins and deeper, more strategic corporate partnerships. We’ve won partnerships with some household name brands and have huge ambitions to grow this body of work not just to raise money but, crucially, to reach the public with the message that ending homelessness is now within our grasp.

We also have the support of a the newly formed Fundraising Development Team, supporting the Partnerships team. This team ensure we have incredible 6 and 7 figure cases for support, a range of volunteering experiences and the meaningful engagement opportunities we need which means you can focus on what you do best; creating exceptional relationships and impactful partnerships to end homelessness.

About you
To be successful in this role you will have:

• A track record of developing a new business pipeline, and winning partnerships at the 5 and 6 figure level
• Experience of providing excellent account management
• Experience of engaging and influencing c-suite individuals, understanding their motivations and inspiring confidence.
• A comprehensive understanding of CSR and sustainability, with an understanding of future business and CSR trends that might impact corporate fundraising
• Excellent communication and influencing skills
• An entrepreneurial attitude with the ability to learn quickly and work proactively.

Benefits
As a member of the team you will have access to a wide range of employee benefits including:

• Interest free loans to purchase a train season ticket or a bike or for a deposit to secure a tenancy
• Mandatory pension scheme, with an employer contribution of 8.5%
• 25 days’ annual leave which increases with service to 28 days

Alongside our excellent staff benefits, we will support your ongoing development to build your skills, experience and career.

How to apply
If this sound likes the opportunity for you, please visit our website to apply online. For the supporting statement section, please address how you meet points 1-5 of the person specification, which can be found on our website by clicking on the 'Vacancy Details' button.

If you need to request an application in an alternative format, please contact the HR Team, contact details can be found on our website.

Closing date: Tuesday 14 July 2020 (23:59)

We value diversity, promote equality and encourage applications from people of all backgrounds. We particularly welcome applications from people with lived experience of homelessness.

About the role

At the Canal & River Trust, we believe life’s better by water, and that the waterways we take care of have an important contribution to make to the health and wellbeing of local communities and economies. That’s why, as a charity, we do all we can to raise the funds that help us protect the nation’s canals and rivers. Part of that effort comes through the funds  from  the People’s Postcode Lottery – and that’s where you come in.

As our new People’s Postcode Lottery Partnership Manager, you’ll nurture relationships with both the People’s Postcode Lottery and our internal stakeholders. Delivering funding proposals, programmatic work, PR, and impact reporting, you’ll ensure we always make the most of our relationship, providing financial support to our work on the UK’s waterways. Plus, you’ll also ensure that our partnership meets with regulation too: you’ll have oversight of our society lottery licence, and you’ll make sure we always comply with the requirements of the Gambling Commission.

About you

This is a role with real financial and cultural impact on our efforts up and down the country, and the relationship we have with the People’s Postcode Lottery is critical. So, naturally, we need someone with depth of experience when it comes to maintaining partnerships like this one. Accomplished when it comes to corporate account management, you may have set up or managed a society lottery licence before, and you’ve got experience in developing partnerships that bring in sums of up to six or even seven figures for your charity. And, of course, you’re well-versed when it comes to charity law and fundraising best practice, making sure our work is absolutely beyond reproach. 

But beyond your experience, what do we need? Well, first and foremost, you’re a professional in the truest sense. A clear, confident and persuasive communicator who upholds our values, you’ll work together with the People’s Postcode Lottery to achieve the best possible result for us and for the nation’s waterways. Plus, as an entrepreneurial strategist with an eye for detail, you know how to spot a commercial opportunity, and work to tight deadlines to make it happen. Above all though, you’ll be motivated, like we all are, to work proactively in support of our charity. You’ll be proud to be our spokesperson, and even prouder of your positive impact on UK canals and rivers, and on the lives of the people who live and work beside them.

About us

We’re the charity who look after and bring to life 2000 miles of canals and rivers. Our waterways contribute to the health and wellbeing of local communities and economies, creating attractive and connected places to live, work, volunteer and spend leisure time. These historic, natural and cultural assets form part of the strategic and local green-blue infrastructure network, linking urban and rural communities as well as habitats. Our waterways are on the doorstep of 8 million people and reach some of the most deprived communities within the UK. By caring for our waterways and promoting their use we believe we can improve the wellbeing of our nation. Come and be part of it.

We aim to represent the diverse communities we are part of and welcome applicants from across all sectors of the community. We strongly believe that a diverse workforce brings with it a diversity of ideas, thinking and ways of working which enhances what we do.  Many of our vacancies can be considered for people who wish to work flexibly, job share or part time.

This is a 12 month role, working 3 days per week. 

This is an exciting opportunity to join an inspirational and visionary children's charity as part of their growing fundraising team. Established in 2000, Caudwell Children works to transform the lives of disabled children and their families, enabling them to challenge the barriers they face throughout childhood by providing practical and emotional support.

Caudwell Children is going through an exciting period of growth having recently opened a new state-of-the-art facility for multi-disciplinary therapy programmes for childhood disability and research of neurodevelopmental conditions, including autism, within the grounds of Keele University.

This transformational period brings the need to develop all income streams to enable this growth and so Caudwell Children are looking for an experienced Associate Director of Partnerships to join their team on a permanent basis.

Caudwell Children - Associate Director of Partnerships

Location: Keele, Staffordshire

Salary: £45,000 - £50,000 plus bonus (dependent on skills and experience)

You will inspire a team to secure and build partnerships and will be ultimately accountable for ensuring the team's successful acquisition, cultivation and growth of partnerships in line with the organisation's new strategy delivering to income, advocacy, public engagement and growing support objectives.

To be considered for this position you will have a proven track record of supporting the leadership of an organisation at a senior level. You will have demonstrable experience in strategy development, corporate engagement and partnerships as well as a solid track record of achieving six-figure financial targets.

About the Youth Endowment Fund

The Youth Endowment Fund is a bold new attempt to put early intervention at the heart of efforts to tackle youth offending.

Over the last few years, evidence suggests that growing numbers of children and young people have been affected by violent crime. More children have been found carrying knives and a growing number have been recorded as victims. We believe that each individual child is an important member of our community and society has a duty to protect them.

The Youth Endowment Fund is a charity with a £200m endowment and a mission that matters. Founded by youth charity Impetus and its partners the Early Intervention Foundation and the Social Investment Business, we exist to prevent children and young people from getting caught up in violent crime. We do this by finding the very best ways to prevent youth violence, funding great initiatives and working to scale them up and spread great ideas.

We have an ambitious goal to raise a further £100m to make this change happen. We want to build partnerships with other funders to share best practice and learning whilst directing more resources to tackling serious violence and building a legacy beyond the ten years of the fund. We need you to make this a reality.

Key Responsibilities

Most fundamentally, your job is to shape and drive our strategy to deliver £100m of funding over the next ten years. To do this you will:

• Build and nurture fantastic relationships with potential funding partners. You will work collaboratively with a range of funders, thinking creatively and strategically to maximise opportunities.
• Develop, deliver and report on our fundraising strategy and tactical plans to ensure we achieve our target. This will span our work with trusts and foundations, other grant-making bodies, commissioners (such as Local Authorities), philanthropists and corporates.
• Test and hone our materials, approach and systems to improve the fundraising ask and our stewardship strategies.
• Work closely with colleagues across the Youth Endowment Fund to identify new opportunities and ensure partnerships are realistic and deliverable.
• As a senior staff member you will also:
  • Help build a culture where it is natural to perform well and support colleagues brilliantly.
  • Help to inform the strategy, deliver results and build and model the culture that we need to succeed.

About You

You are this sort of person:

• You win people over. People tend to warm to you and respect you. You have built great partnerships that are celebrated by all involved. You are comfortable asking for funding, support and partnerships. You are a kind person.

• You make things happen. You have experience of getting to the heart of a strategy and turning it into operational plans. You especially excel in situations of ambiguity where there are not clear rules to follow, previous patterns to copy or clear evidence of what will work. You bring courage to your work.
• You are a great storyteller. You can bring a compelling narrative to life. The way you write and speak connects with people. You inspire confidence and trust. You know that attention to detail in written communication really matters.
• You work hard. You have the energy and enthusiasm to achieve ambitious targets. You are tenacious, prepared for failure and ready to bounce back from setbacks. You are focused and work smart.
• You learn fast but remain humble. You are very quick at getting your head around things. You like learning. You are very good at synthesising information. You know how much you don't know. You know that you can learn more. You know that it's easy to assume you know when you don't. You care more that good things happen than who gets the credit. You are a great and supportive team player.
• You consistently work well under pressure: You can meet tight deadlines in a fast-paced environment while managing different priorities.
• You don't want your days to pass without making a difference. You want to play a significant part in reducing the level of youth violence.
• You are committed to equality, diversity and inclusion.

You must have this sort of experience:

You have …

- Significantly Fundraised:  You have a track record of raising six figure grants from grant-making trusts and foundations, statutory bodies and corporates, working at national, regional and local level.

- Built Partnerships:  You have significant experience in building strategic, long lasting partnerships. You can show how these have been effective in delivering impact beyond money.

- Developed and Delivered Strategy:  You have significant experience of developing strategies. You can then translate them into great ideas and actions.

While it is not a criteria, we are especially interested to hear from applicants who have lived experience of youth violence.

It is also important to us that the people we hire do not discriminate. We believe in being inclusive and giving everyone an equal chance to succeed. Applications are welcome from all regardless of age, sex, gender identity, disability, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, religion or belief, race, sexual orientation, transgender status or social economic background.
