Senior Community Partnership Manager

About the roleWe have a new opportunity for a Senior Community Partnership Manager to join our team in London on a full time, permanent basis.

This is an exciting time to join our team as we introduce a new approach for increasing and improving our social impact.

The successful candidate will be responsible for designing and launching a new social impact offer across London with a focus on the priority boroughs of Brent, Ealing, Hammersmith and Fulham, Harrow, Hillingdon, Hounslow, Kingston and Richmond. Creative and practical, you will apply your expertise to identify and analyse resident priorities and needs to shape the local strategy and service offer accordingly, aligning with our broader nationwide social investment strategic approach and expected outcomes. As a convenor and co-ordinator of services rather than directly delivering support, you will focus on building and maintaining effective partnerships at all levels - from grassroot organisations and charities, to funders and Local Authorities. You will also work closely with our supply chain to maximise social value commitments for community benefit.

What we're looking forWe are a customer-focussed organisation, so we know that how we do things is just as important as what we do. The successful Senior Community Partnership Manager will need the drive and confidence to work independently, whilst also being an experienced collaborator, committed to working closely and successfully with the wider Community Investment Team and a range of different departments.

You will have a breadth of experience across different thematic areas from supporting households with critical needs and enabling people to professionally progress, to developing and managing grant pots and supporting community mobilisation.

You will be highly motivated and comfortable navigating ambiguity with the tenacity to see projects through. You will also need to be both an analytical thinker and strategic thinker with a demonstrable belief and commitment to equity.

You must be able to demonstrate the following:

Essential

• Proven experience of successfully designing and delivering social impact projects and programmes.
• Understanding of how to effectively capture, measure and evidence outcomes and impact
• Proven experience of forging and maintaining successful operational and strategic partnerships
• A high level of programme and project development and management expertise, along with strong oral and written communication skills
• Proven experience of successfully working with and managing a team and budget management

Desirable

• An understanding of housing, and in particular, social housing environment and context.
