Job description

Overview

This job is brought to you by Jobs/Redefined, the UK's leading over-50s age inclusive jobs board.

Context: Barnardo's exists to 'Change childhoods. Change lives.'. We know that too many children and young people are growing up with disadvantage or at risk of harm, missing out on a good childhood and on opportunities when they reach adulthood. We achieve change for children by delivering excellent and inclusive services, influencing policy and practice to support all children and young people and changing attitudes. Across the charity our teams and functions work together, and all play a vital role in delivering our strategy and our purpose.

Job Purpose: The Corporate Relationship Manager manages a varied and high value portfolio of corporate partnerships to maximise engagement and income at all levels.

Responsibilities

• Manage high value existing and new business partnerships to deliver on partnership objectives and maximise income, support and awareness for Barnardo's
• Develop plans and assist colleagues in the development of Partnership plans to deliver on partnership objectives ensuring the organisation can deliver as agreed
• Actively contribute to and support the corporate team in development and delivery of their strategies
• Develop and implement initiatives leading to new sources of income and opportunities for employee engagement
• Collaborate across departments internally to build awareness and ensure effective delivery of the Partnership objectives and targets

Pay & Reward

We know that our colleagues go above and beyond in delivering our vital work, driven by their passion and commitment to Barnardo's values. We also know that we can only realise our ambitions and achieve better outcomes for more children, thanks to the talent, hard work and creativity of our people.

For all these reasons, we are committed to a new approach to pay and reward, to ensure it is fair, attractive and progressive, which was rolled out in April 2023. This is a positive change for the charity, and a part of our People & Culture Strategy. It will assist us in supporting colleagues to belong, thrive and grow in their colleague journey at Barnardo's and in time will offer clear routes of progression for colleagues in both their career and their pay.

Whilst the full pay band and salary range is advertised, our approach to starting salaries is to appoint between the minimum to mid-point of the pay band - this ensures that pay steps are available to reward our colleagues annually based on their contribution to excellence and alignment to our values and behaviours. More details on Barnardo's pay framework can be found upon application.
