Business Partnerships Manager – North & Mid Wales
Contract Type: Permanent
Location: North or Mid Wales (Home Based)
Hours: Part Time – 0.6FTE
Salary: £27,000-£31,000
About Tempo
Tempo Time Credits is a charity serving communities across the UK by engaging, encouraging, and enabling volunteers. We provide the glue which binds local voluntary partnerships and community-based solutions.
Tempo Time Credits galvanises community organisations to drive positive change for themselves and be more resilient through more individuals and more diverse groups of people volunteering. The Time Credits model is based on a fundamental principle that Volunteer’s time is valuable and should be valued.
Tempo Time Credits are the thread that connects volunteers, third sector, services, and businesses together through our projects and Tempo Time Credit networks. We do this through a digital time credit system that recognises and rewards volunteers for the hours they give. Volunteers can then exchange these for activities and experiences – like cinema tickets, entry to visitor attractions or a swim or gym session.
Tempo’s culture is at our core and our staff team operate in line with our workplace values which are: –
• Everyone’s contribution – We encourage self-belief, mutual respect, and recognition.
• Ambition – We have a can-do attitude, are hopeful, resilient, and positive.
• Connection – Passionate people, teamwork and collaboration are key to our success.
• Creativity – We are curious and inventive; we encourage fun and imagination to achieve this.
• Resourcefulness – We learn together, share our expertise, and strive for efficiency.
• Integrity – We are authentic and honest. We take our commitments seriously and take accountability for delivery.
Being a key member of our team is fun, challenging, inspiring, engaging and it matters.
WHERE WE ARE TODAY
This is a challenging time for many community organisations, volunteers and recognition partners too – it’s also a time when our model and support is needed more than ever. Tempo has worked with: –
• 40 commissioned programmes.
• 1,500 charities.
• 15,000+ people currently volunteering.
• 1.25 million Tempo Time Credits earned to date.
• 750+ business venues offering reward and recognition opportunities.
• Developed the first national Time Credit network in the world.
Across the UK the recognition of Tempo Time Credits is growing, amongst parliaments, local authorities and corporates and our visibility is increasing through national press and support from key parliamentarians.
About You
The role will support the Wales and national Tempo team to expand and deepen the networks of community, public and private sector organisations across our programmes, and to develop new opportunities and partnerships in North and Mid Wales.
Business Partnerships Managers focus on the many and varied places to use Time Credits, so the ability to be innovative with your ideas and approaches is a helpful skill that will support you to undertake your key task of signing up new Recognition Partners, and maintaining partnerships within, the existing network.
Our partnerships are driven by the needs of the volunteers and community members we support, so you need to be a great listener and people person with a genuine passion for supporting the development of individuals and organisations. As a natural team player, you will work alongside your team members to deliver training and network events in a variety of settings.
We work with SMEs, national chains, community organisations and everyone in between, so excellent and adaptable, presentational, verbal, and written communication will be key to success in this role. While talking plays a big part, good skills with reporting and analysis of your Recognition Network will also be very advantageous to help us demonstrate the impact we have in communities.
The role is very varied, and we have successful Business Partnerships Managers in our team from a variety of backgrounds. We’re more interested in your skills and passion than in your career path to date so please don’t let a lack of experience in any sector deter you from applying. You are inspiring and driven and can combine good public and corporate relationship-building with enthusiasm, strategic thinking, and excellent networking skills. You are a self-starter, who can inspire commitment, secure partnerships, and close agreements while being driven by the need to improve communities. There is a need to travel for this role and many meetings and scoping opportunities will be undertaken in person across Wales.
