TCV are fortunate to work with a number of amazing corporate partners and their employees, helping to make an incredible difference to the work TCV can deliver across the UK. We are looking for someone special to lead our newly created strategic corporate partnership team, to help TCV develop and implement new ways of working with our network of corporate partners.

This is an exciting time to join TCV and lead the partnership team. We are looking for an enthusiastic, energetic, confident individual - someone who wants to make a difference and is always willing to go the extra mile and leads by example.

Working directly with your team and the wider income generation team, you will be responsible for setting and implementing our strategic plan aligned to corporate partnerships and income.

You will be responsible for developing and bringing to life this new approach for TCV in how we work together with our corporate partners - enabling us to connect even more people to green spaces.

Ideally you will have already worked in the charity sector and are able to demonstrate experience in managing and developing a corporate partnership team.

You will be able to demonstrate you have led a team to secure an annual income in excess of £1.5m.

You should be confident in your ability to set ambitious goals and high standards - and be capable and experienced in leading and supporting a team to achieve both the goals and the standards. You will have ultimate responsibility for leading on identifying and creating a pipeline of corporate partners to meet our annual income target.

As the lead for the corporate team, you must be confident in your ability to communicate our case for support to your team, and to both our internal and external stakeholders, ensuring our proposals are compelling, well thought out and deliver value and impact for both our corporate partners and TCV.

If you're looking for your next exciting senior role in the charity sector and feel you have the experience and drive to deliver this role - please get in touch.

You are going to lead a team with very big ambitions for 2024 and beyond!

The role will require some travel and overnight stays from time to time.

A full, clean or near clean UK driving licence is required for this post, which has been held for a minimum of one year.

We're looking for a team player to join our Faculty, Planning and Events team as Faculty Planning Manager on a 12-month FTC basis, to cover a period of maternity leave.

You'll be responsible for leading a team of stakeholders through the process of scheduling and allocating faculty to events across our suite of programmes. Playing a key part in maintaining standards, you'll ensure facilitation and coaching needs across Ambition’s programme suite are met to a high standard and are cost-effective.   

Who are Ambition Institute?
 

A great teacher changes the future every day. Especially for children who have had a tough start in life, a teacher can be the critical factor in their success.

At Ambition Institute we help schools tackling educational disadvantage to keep getting better and help their teachers and school leaders to become more expert over time.

That’s how we’ll make sure every child gets a great education and the best possible start in life.

• We train teachers and leaders at all levels to get better at the things that make the biggest difference: what you teach, how you teach it, and how you create the conditions for schools to thrive.
• We share what works. Everyone can benefit from evidence of how great teaching and leadership can improve schools and change lives, so we connect people to the latest research and best practice.
• We champion every teacher and school leader’s potential to develop, as the driving force for sustainable school improvement.

We would like you to:

•  Implement systems and processes within the team, department, division and organisation to understand the events required and to forecast facilitation and coaching capacity across events
• Lead the recruitment, selection, contracting, quality assurance and ongoing training processes for internal and external facilitators and coaches, working closely with Learning Design and the Director of Programmes
•  Ensure comprehensive records are kept on shared systems accessible to other teams to aid planning and reporting, maintaining a robust and accurate database of Internal and External stakeholders on our platform, Salesforce, including relevant qualifications and experience.
•  Support the Associate Director with decision making, compiling evidence driven by data and experience, to feed into wider organisational discussions related to the delivery of our programmes.
   

Working in a hybrid way, you’ll be attached to either our Birmingham, London or Manchester office and will report to the Faculty Planning and Events Associate Director.  In line with our current ways of working, you’ll be expected to be in the office at least 1 day a month, in addition to team days and this may be reviewed by Ambition. 
 

Skills, Knowledge and Experience

To succeed in this role you'll demonstrate excellent organisation, programme and project management skills. You'll be an excellent communicator and have proven experience of building and maintaining relationships with different audiences of varying seniority. 

We are looking for someone who is a real team player and able to lead teams working in a matrix team structure. Whilst an understanding of facilitator best practice and experience of timetabling a high volume of events, all with different requirements is desirable, these are not essential criteria for applying for the role and relevant training will be provided.

What’s in it for you….?

• Competitive annual salary
• Professional development for all staff
• 25 days’ annual leave, plus bank holidays and 'winter shut down’ at the end of December/beginning of January
• Employer pension contribution of 11%
• Agile, hybrid working culture, so you can manage when and where you work
• Staff affinity networks that help keep equality, diversity and inclusion at the heart of our work
• Blind recruitment process to ensure equality and fairness in our hiring

• Access to free, confidential 24/7 wellbeing and support line
