Background
Every three minutes someone in the UK develops dementia: a progressive and complex condition that can be devastating for the whole family. One in two of us will be affected by dementia in our lifetime – either by caring for someone with the condition, developing it ourselves, or both.
Dementia UK is the specialist dementia nursing charity that is there for the whole family. Our specialist nurses, known as Admiral Nurses, provide free, expert advice, support and understanding to help families care for their loved one. Every day, Admiral Nurses help families up and down the country to have the best life possible, for as long as possible.
Purpose of the job/about the role
Our Fundraising and Engagement department has grown considerably over the past few years, and we have plans to expand further! We have established strategic partnerships with a number of major national companies across a range of sectors and have some exciting prospects in the pipeline.
The Corporate Partnerships Assistant will play a key role in supporting the Philanthropy and Partnerships team, helping us to take our partnerships to the next level. This role is suitable for those looking to develop a career in fundraising, with a particular interest in building impactful corporate partnerships.
Working closely with the Corporate Development Manager, you will contribute to securing a diverse and sustainable range of national corporate partnerships. This involves identifying and securing new partnerships while ensuring Dementia UK stands out as a charity of choice. You will also support the account management function of the Corporate Partnerships team, helping to maintain and grow our portfolio of corporate partners as well as stewarding and thanking individuals who choose to support Dementia UK.
As a key member of the Corporate Partnerships team, you will contribute to the development and delivery of the corporate fundraising strategy while managing administrative tasks such as overseeing the Corporate Partnerships inbox.
To succeed in this role, you will have experience building effective relationships, networking, or delivering excellent customer service. You will have strong organisational and planning skills, with the ability to multi-task and prioritise workload with intermediate-level skills in Microsoft Office 365 applications, including Excel, Word, SharePoint, and Teams.
If you are passionate about building sustainable and strategic partnerships, we want to hear from you!
