Charity People are thrilled to announce we are working with The Funding Network to find a Partnerships Manager - a truly wonderful charity that builds connections that change the world. This unique role is central to a new era unfolding at The Funding Network, and will prioritise managing existing donors and building a thriving new network to increase impact for the organisations they support.
Their work is incredibly unique in the sector. The Funding Network are pioneering a model of engaged and collaborative philanthropy that bridges the divide between the most privileged members of society and the most marginalised. They facilitate real change for small charities, allowing them to grow, build their own new network of funders, develop their own infrastructure, increase support and ultimately increase their social impact.
The main facilitation is crowd funding events at which small charities pitch for funds and other forms of support. Events are hosted on a pro bono basis, and have been described as part TED Talk, part Dragons Den and part live auction. On any given evening, an audience might have the opportunity to support children impacted by parental imprisonment, families affected by knife crime, and asylum seekers facing homelessness. Audiences leave feeling inspired and uplifted by the people they've met, the work they have learned about and the difference they've made.
Partnerships Manager
- Permanent, 37.5 hours per week

Members find and select the charities The Funding Network support, and contribute approximately 80% of the funds raised at events, and make a vital contribution to core costs through an annual fee. This role will be central in shaping the future of donor partnerships by ensuring outstanding account management for their current network and expanding their base of individual and corporate members achieving greater impact.
About You
This role will appeal to fundraisers who thrive on building new connections, meeting new donors, and being close to the cause. There is incredible scope to see first hand the impact of The Funding Networks approach, helping small charities secure funding to kick-start their own exciting new journey of greater reach and allowing them to reach new heights.
The role will suit someone:
- With a record of fundraising from Corporate/philanthropy/major donor income streams and can demonstrate the skills to engage and inspire new prospects
- Who thrives in a small organisation, close to the cause and impact, and values the opportunity to collaborate and broaden their own experiences
- Can demonstrate great understanding of account management and new business processes
- Who is ready to shape their own strategy and make a lasting impact on the future trajectory of a charity
- Is an excellent communicator at all levels, and who loves talking with passion to inspire others
This is a standout role. I would love to share more with anyone interested in hearing exactly what is in store. Please drop me a message to request a job pack, set up a Teams call, and find out how you can apply.

As the SRH Services Manager, you will lead METRO’s London-based SRH services, overseeing a range of programs including sexual health clinics, outreach, and youth engagement.
Role
You will manage and oversee the daily operations of the Sexual Health Office (SHO), including staffing, results management, and helpline services. You will lead and develop a team of staff, providing supervision, training, and performance management.
You will also be responsible for overseeing the implementation and evaluation of sexual health programmes, including the NCSP (National Chlamydia Screening Programme) and C-card (condom) schemes. You will work closely with other colleagues in our communications team to facilitate this.
You will support engagement and reach targets for the NCSP and the C-Card programmes which we deliver across a number of London boroughs; towards this aim you will manage a small team of lead and frontline workers. This will also involve regular engagement with professional partners including commissioners, and can mean occasional support of frontline work (including facilitating outreach independently).
You will oversee the Young Greenwich sexual health team in the Royal Borough of Greenwich, supporting a range of outreach, youth hub engagement, 1:1 support, and training throughout the borough.
