About us
We are Heart of Bucks, the Community Foundation for Buckinghamshire. Heart of Bucks is a registered charity working with some amazing donors, both individuals and businesses to provide a broad range of funding to other charities and not for profit organisations across Bucks. Our programmes range from those helping to address health inequalities or community safety, through poverty and inclusion projects, sports and leisure, to education, arts and culture programmes, and everything in-between.
About the role
We are looking for a real "people person" to take on our Partnerships & Impact Officer role. You'll have a naturally curious personality with a genuine interest in finding out what motivates people in business to get involved with charitable work. Your aim will be to help us to build the best partnerships with local business to support their corporate social responsibility goals. Our aim is to ensure that their generously donated funds get right to the heart of our community, where they are most needed and can do the maximum amount of good. You would be joining us at an exciting time as we are also in the early stages of developing partners for our new charitable company.
We are happy to offer a hybrid working pattern, with some time in the office and some home working each week, with more time in the office whilst you are learning the role.
About you
This is a multi-faceted role often working as much with external partners as with your Heart of Bucks colleagues, so our ideal candidate will need to be confident talking to new contacts and businesses. You will, of course, be supported in the role by your Development Team colleagues but will often be working out in the community, and sometimes outside of office hours, so being a resilient self-organiser is essential.
You don't have to come to us "fully-formed" in the role, we love working with enthusiastic and committed learners, but you will need excellent communication and interpersonal skills to make it work for you (and us!). The role also calls for competent technical skills, as you will be involved in drawing out information from our Salesforce database and elsewhere to inform your activities, and to create compelling stories to illustrate the impact of our work.
