Corporate Partnerships Researcher

What you’ll be doing

We’re looking for a proactive and independent volunteer to join our friendly Corporate Partnerships team. In this role, you’ll help us discover new companies and foundations that share our values and could support Missing People through funding and partnerships.

Your research will play a vital part in helping us reach more families and secure the support we need to continue being there for missing people and their loved ones in their darkest moments.

What we’re looking for

No fundraising experience? No problem! If you enjoy getting stuck into independent research, spotting connections, and are comfortable using platforms like LinkedIn, this role could be a great fit.

We’d love you to bring:

• An interest in Missing People’s work
• Confidence with IT tools (LinkedIn, search engines, email, spreadsheets)
• Willingness to make occasional phone calls
• Attention to detail and care with confidential data
• A proactive, methodical approach
• Independence and initiative

What you’ll gain

• Hands-on experience in corporate fundraising and prospect research with a national charity
• Insight into how charities build partnerships with businesses
• A chance to learn more about the issue of missing and contribute to the charity’s vital work
• The opportunity to use your skills for a meaningful cause
• Full training and ongoing support from a welcoming, supportive team

Location and availability

This role will be worked from home – access to a laptop or computer, and Wi-Fi required.

If you’re based in or near London, you are welcome to work from our quiet office in Mortlake, Southwest London.

Commitment: 4 hours per week, on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, for a period of 3+ months.
