Corporate Fundraising Executive, PROSPECTUS
Corporate Partnerships Executive – National Children’s Health & Disability Charity
About the Charity
This is an exciting opportunity to join the fundraising team of a national children’s health and disability charity, dedicated to supporting seriously ill children living with complex, lifelong conditions. Across the UK, over 200 specialist nurses assist more than 40,000 children and their families, helping them navigate treatment, coordinate care, and access vital support.
Fundraising lies at the heart of the charity’s vision: every seriously ill child should have access to a nurse, who can provide the tailored support needed now and for the future.
Role Overview
As the Corporate Partnerships Executive, you will play a key role in growing and developing corporate fundraising income by:
- Identifying and securing new partnerships that align with the charity’s mission
- Managing existing corporate relationships to expand engagement and impact
- Supporting the delivery of fundraising campaigns, events, and partnership activities
This is a proactive, relationship-driven role where confidence, ambition, and a desire to make a real difference are essential.
Responsibilities
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
