Partnerships Manager (Children & Young People)

We’re on a mission to help change lives and build healthy, resilient communities in Somerset.

We do this by supporting and championing voluntary and community organisations and providing a range of services, training and advice. We also believe that everyone should have the opportunity to thrive and so we work with local partners to provide volunteering opportunities for all.

Pivotal to our success is a partnerships specialist who will support the development of a countywide Children & Young People’s Mental Health Network. The Network will enable closer collaboration across the voluntary, community, faith, and social enterprise (VCFSE) sector – which will ultimately result in better outcomes for young people.

Our aspiration is that the Network will then support the co-production of a formal Alliance model which we envisage will be commissioned in the Autumn.

The post-holder will support, guide, and facilitate this initiative, working with VCFSE partners to understand and meet the needs of the sector and those they support.

It's a part time role, working 22.5-30 hours per week on a 12-month contract. The salary is £30,000 per annum, pro rata. Secondments will be considered.

Our team members enjoy flexible, remote working options, a free employee assistance programme, 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays (pro-rata if part time) and up to 7.5 hours of volunteering leave each year.
