If you have a passion for fostering partnerships with organisations and people with lived experience in mental health, this is an exciting opportunity to join our dynamic, growing mental health charity as our new Partnerships Coordinator.

You will play a key part in helping us to strengthen the mental health workforce and make a positive impact on people’s lives. Think Ahead aims to develop a strong and thriving mental health workforce. We are experts in recruitment, professional training and leadership development for mental health practitioners, ensuring the right people can deliver the right support at the right time.

Through our flagship programme, since 2015, we have recruited and trained 1,000 mental health social workers, and we are extending our reach to ensure that we can support NHS and other employers to recruit and retain key people right across the mental health workforce.

As the Partnerships Coordinator you will:

• Be responsible for supporting successful partnerships and relationship management with a range of Think Ahead’s stakeholders involved in delivering the programme.
• Support the coordination, communication and delivery of all Lived Experience Partnership involvement activities and meetings.
• Support the securing and coordination of placement partnerships and Consultant Social Workers.
• Contribute to wider programme activities such as the Summer Institute and to projects lead by other teams across Think Ahead.

We are looking for someone with excellent communication, organisational and relationship-building skills who has experience of developing and sustaining partnerships, including those with people with lived experience of mental health needs and services. Our ideal candidate will also have a willingness to learn and grow as well as a strong commitment to equality, equity, diversity and inclusion. We are happy to work with the right candidate to develop their skills and experience.

We offer a supportive working environment which include hybrid working practices. We expect staff to work from the office at least one day per week and the remaining days can be worked from home.

We offer excellent employee benefits, including generous annual leave entitlement, plus additional office closure over Christmas, enhanced family friendly leave, flexible working around our core hours of 10am to 4pm, a matched pension scheme with up 7% employer contributions, an employee assistance programme and more.

We are currently funded by DHSC until August 2027 with the possibility of extension. If this sounds like the just the opportunity and challenge you’ve been looking for to complement your skills and experience, we look forward to receiving your application.
