• Development: We’ll work with you to develop your career, in an incredible role where you’ll build skills and experience working with exceptional people and brands.
• Pension and benefits: contributory pension scheme, retail discounts, holiday discounts, cycle‑to‑work scheme and travel discounts through our benefits app.

Key Focus Areas

• Supporting partnership, funding and supporter growth and retention by working with the Partnerships Development Manager to develop partnership strategies and materials (e.g., pitches, proposals, content, impact reporting), and track/evaluate partnership activity to evidence impact and attract new support.
