Partnerships Lead – High Value

Based in Edinburgh, Scotland
Circa £33,000 per annum
Permanent

Unicef ensures more of the world’s children are vaccinated, educated and protected than any other organisation. We have done more to influence laws and policies to help protect children than anyone else. We get things done. And we’re not going to stop until the world is a safe place for all our children.

Unicef UK has been working in Scotland for many years in fundraising, programme delivery in schools, hospitals and local authorities and advocating for the rights of children in Scotland. Following successful growth in the past few years, Unicef in Scotland is now recruiting a High Value Partnerships Lead.  

This is a brand new role in which you will identify and cultivate high value and influential prospects and develop cases for support for philanthropists, foundations and the corporate sector. This will include capitalising on opportunities, opening new markets and engaging new prospects.

To succeed in this role, you will have a strong track record of developing and managing quality relationships with high value partners, and of working successfully with senior volunteers.  You will have experience of personally asking and securing high level donations and of maximising partnerships through other non-financial/advocacy activity. We are looking for a highly competent individual, able to spot opportunities and with a good understanding of the different motivations that individuals or companies may have to support charities.

This is a fantastic opportunity to help Unicef UK deliver positive outcomes for children in Scotland and around the world.

Closing date: 5pm, Monday 24 September 2018.
Interview date: Tuesday 9 and Wednesday 10 October 2018.

We welcome applications from a diverse range of people, respecting and drawing on different perspectives, skills, experience and knowledge.  

The successful candidate will be required to apply for a criminal records check. A criminal record will not necessarily bar you from working with us. This will depend on the nature of the role and the circumstances of your offences.

We only accept online applications as this saves us money, making more funds available for us to help ensure children’s rights.
 

If you do not hear from us within 14 days of the closing date, please assume your application has been unsuccessful on this occasion. Please note that we only provide feedback to shortlisted candidates.
