Director of Development & Partnerships
Certitude London
Hybrid with regular office attendance in Balham
£80,000 per annum on a full-time permanent basis
We are the leading not-for-profit adult social care provider in London for people with learning disabilities, autistic people, and people with mental health support needs. Dynamic, people- and purpose-focused, we have a robust financial position, a strong balance sheet and a healthy turnover of around £53m a year. We are proud of our 30+ year history of high quality and innovative care and support, that makes a real difference in people’s lives.
THE ROLE
We are now seeking our first Director of Development & Partnerships – a role that offers challenge and reward in equal measure. You’ll join us as we launch a bold new growth strategy and delivery plan. You’ll be empowered to challenge the status quo, reshape and motivate your teams, and energise cross-departmental collaboration to drive expansion in a complex, low-margin sector where we are proud of the value we deliver to commissioners and communities alike.
We’re looking for a senior leader with a proven track record in business development, growth and partnership-building in health, social care or a related sector. You’ll combine commercial acumen with deep knowledge of learning disability, mental health or autism services. Your experience of leading complex bids, contract negotiations and high-value tendering will be enormously valuable here and we’ll be looking to you to evaluate financial viability and risk alongside developing creative alliances, including housing solutions, to support sustainable growth.
