Relationship Manager – Maternity Cover
Closing date: 9am Monday 17 August 2026
This a 9-12 month maternity-cover contract with a salart of £39,000 FTE.
The role:
Our work is needed now more than ever before. This is why we have embarked on a new strategy to make tackling low numeracy an urgent, national issue. However, we will only achieve significant and lasting change by partnering with organisations that commission our services and help deliver our impact. We work with a wide range of commissioners and delivery partners to reach and engage our target audience of people with low numeracy: from large employers, such as the NHS, to local authorities across the UK, and from businesses to charities and community organisations.
We have an exciting maternity cover opportunity for a skilled relationship manager to join our supportive and growing team. You will manage and help grow our group of delivery partners, communicating the vital importance of improved numeracy for their
staff, their business, their customers, or for the adults they support in the community.
We are looking for someone who is flexible, able to pick up the job quickly, and use their own initiative to both strengthen relationships and establish new links. It’s not imperative that you come from the charity sector as long as you can show us that you have relevant transferable skills and an understanding of what it takes to be successful in this role. We welcome applications from people who may have struggled with maths and numbers and have a personal understanding of the experiences of our beneficiaries. This is a fantastic opportunity within a small but ambitious and dynamic organisation making a real difference to people’s lives and livelihoods.
As a charity, National Numeracy operates nationally, and for this role, we welcome applications from across the UK. You can work in the office in Falmer, East Sussex, and/or you can work from home. Our expectation is that you will visit Falmer occasionally during the year when the work requires. While much of the work for this role can be done from home or the office, it will also involve travel to meet with the team and partner organisations across the UK.
We welcome applications from candidates looking to work either four or five days per week.
