Job description

Purpose of the Role

The Strategic Partnerships Volunteer will support the organisation in identifying, developing, and facilitating strategic partnerships that respond directly to the needs and priorities identified by our delivery partners. The role focuses on translating on-the-ground demands into meaningful collaborations with institutions, organisations, companies, or networks that can add value beyond funding alone.

Key Responsibilities

  • Work closely with the team to understand the concrete needs, gaps, and priorities identified by partner organisations.
  • Research and map potential strategic partners (e.g. NGOs, corporates, foundations, universities, public bodies) aligned with those needs.
  • Identify partnership opportunities that may include in-kind support, technical expertise, training, resources, visibility, or long-term collaboration.
  • Support the preparation of short concept notes or partnership briefs linking partner needs with potential collaborators.
  • Assist in initiating and nurturing conversations with prospective partners, where appropriate.
  • Maintain a simple tracking system of potential partnerships, contacts, and progress.
  • Contribute ideas on how partnerships can be structured in a way that is ethical, balanced, and mutually beneficial.

What We Are Looking For

  • Strong interest in partnerships, collaboration, and social impact.
  • Ability to think strategically while remaining grounded in practical, partner-led needs.
  • Good research and analytical skills.
  • Clear written and verbal communication skills in English.
  • Comfortable working independently, with guidance from the team.
  • Sensitivity to power dynamics, context, and ethical considerations in international or community-based work.

Approach and Mindset

  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with sensitivity to different cultural, social, and organisational contexts.
  • Alignment with Disability Africa’s vision and way of working, including the Social Model of Disability, and a willingness to apply this ethos in practical partnership-building.
  • An ethical and reflective approach to collaboration, grounded in integrity, transparency, and accountability.
  • Commitment to inclusion and equal opportunities, and to approaches that expand access and participation for disabled children and young people.

Desirable (but not essential)

  • Experience in partnerships, fundraising, business development, CSR, or NGO work.
  • Familiarity with international development, disability inclusion, education, or community-based programmes.
  • Experience working with or alongside grassroots organisations.

Time Commitment

  • Flexible; typically 4–6 hours per week.
  • Minimum commitment of 12 months.
  • The role can be adapted to the volunteer’s availability and interests.

What the Volunteer Will Gain

  • Hands-on experience in strategic partnership development within a values-driven organisation.
  • Exposure to partner-led, community-based approaches to social change.
  • Opportunity to shape real collaborations with tangible impact.
  • Professional references upon successful completion of the role.

Location

  • Remote / flexible.
