Strategic partnerships manager jobs

About the role

This is an exciting opportunity to shape and lead a national service that improves the lives of children and young people living with arthritis, with a strong focus on innovation, inclusion, and amplifying youth voice. The role offers the chance to build strategic partnerships across healthcare and communities, influence service design at key life stages, and drive meaningful change that reduces health inequalities. Working within a collaborative, values-led organisation, you’ll have real scope to grow and evolve our support service.

Key responsibilities include leading the delivery and continuous development of high-quality, safe, and inclusive services across England and Scotland as part of a UK service, managing and coaching staff and volunteers, and driving increased access and impact through strong planning and partnership working.

You will oversee safeguarding, budgets, data and performance frameworks, while embedding systems and processes that strengthen insight and delivery. The role also involves working closely with NHS and third-sector partners, supporting youth engagement and leadership, and ensuring services are shaped by young people and families.

About you

If your knowledge, skills and experience include the following then we’d love to hear from you:

• Experience leading staff and volunteers to deliver inclusive, safe and impactful services for young people and families.
• Track record of developing and evolving services to increase access and impact, including managing change with stakeholders.
• Experience building effective partnerships across health, community and voluntary sectors.
• Experience using service data collection and databases to drive performance, impact, and continuous improvement.
• Understanding of disability and long-term health conditions, with a strong commitment to equity and inclusion.
• Knowledge of children and young people’s rights, and experience ensuring participant and stakeholder voice shapes service development.
• Strong planning and project management skills, with the ability to prioritise and deliver multiple workstreams.
• Confident influencer, able to identify opportunities, build partnerships and drive improvement.

As a hybrid worker the expectation is that you will spend around 40% of your working time in our office spaces or working in community settings.

As an inclusive employer we will consider home-based working for anyone where office-based hybrid working would be a barrier to being able to work for us, for example for someone living with a long-term health condition or disability.
