Description du poste

The NSPCCs purpose is to prevent child abuse and neglect of children across the UK and Channel Islands. We have been fighting for childhood for the last 130 years and our organisational strategy for 2021-2031 is enabling the NSPCC to achieve greater change for children and inspiring others to join us in the fight for childhood.

Our services help children who have been abused, protect children at risk and find the best ways to prevent child abuse from ever happening. We work directly with children and families through our national and regional hubs across the UK and Channel Islands. We also give support to thousands of adults and young people in need through NSPCC Helpline and Childline. We work with schools up and down the country through our Speak Out Stay Safe programme, helping children to keep themselves safe. And our projects such as Together for Childhood help children who have experienced abuse, support parents, and work to transform the way communities come together to prevent child cruelty.

Our local services support children and families throughout the UK and Channel Islands. We provide therapeutic services to help children move on from abuse, as well as supporting parents and families in caring for their children. We help professionals make the best decisions for children and young people, and support communities to help prevent abuse from happening in the first place.

The Partnership Services Manager will form an integral part of our local services offer, identifying, building and working in partnership with external partners, local stakeholders and communities across Northern Ireland.

Linked to the NI Hub this role will evolve and develop as we grow our local services offer in Northern Ireland.

By its very nature the Partnership Services Manager role will require a high degree of internal strategic and operational interface with other departments within the Services directorate, and with other directorates more widely across the organisation, including, but not limited to , our Income Generation and Strategy and Knowledge directorates. This will ensure our 'one NSPCC geography' is embedded within our relationships with external stakeholders.

The post holder will be the key point of contact for our SBNI work leading the NSPCC work across all 5 SBNI panels. They will continue to build and maintain our existing relationships externally and contribute to the identification of new relationships across NI and assist the Assistant Director with same.
