Do you have proven experience of working in an advice related environment, where there has been a focus on financial and housing issues, plus a real desire to help improve people's financial health? Then join Shelter as a Senior Partnerships Manager and you could soon be responsible for managing our innovative Breaking the Cycle programme . About Breaking the Cycle Breaking the Cycle is an innovative access-to-banking programme led by Shelter, designed to help people with no fixed address take a vital step out of homelessness by gaining access to basic banking services. Delivered in partnership with HSBC UK and a nationwide network of charities and local organisations, the programme supports vulnerable individuals-including those experiencing rough sleeping, seeking asylum, or escaping domestic abuse-to become financially included. Recognised by HM Treasury as a key initiative within its 2025 Financial Inclusion Strategy, Breaking the Cycle is now expanding through a 12-month pilot with five major high street banks, alongside UK Finance, representing over 300 firms across the sector. About the role The Senior Partnerships Manager will lead and shape the expansion of the Breaking the Cycle programme at Shelter, providing strategic direction and overseeing relationships with key financial institutions including HSBC UK, Barclays, Santander UK, Nationwide Building Society, Lloyds Banking Group and NatWest Group. Responsible for delivering a high-profile expansion pilot in collaboration with UK Finance and HM Treasury, the role combines senior stakeholder management with programme leadership-driving growth, managing risk, and ensuring strong governance and safeguarding. Leading a team of Partnership Executives, the postholder will oversee onboarding of new partners, refine processes, negotiate complex agreements, and ensure effective delivery across a diverse charity network. They will also play a key role in promoting the programme through campaigns and external engagement, while delivering robust reporting, identifying future growth opportunities-including digital expansion-and securing long-term investment and impact. About you We're looking for a confident and collaborative professional with proven experience managing complex, multi-partner programmes or projects across diverse organisations. You'll bring a strong understanding of financial inclusion or similar initiatives, with the ability to engage and influence a wide range of stakeholders-from senior leaders to frontline delivery teams. Comfortable presenting both in-person and online, you'll also have experience chairing steering groups and driving alignment across partners. You'll be a team player who works effectively with internal colleagues to deliver wider organisational goals, and you'll be confident using a range of IT tools, including Microsoft Office and reporting systems, to manage, track and communicate impact. Apply to be part of our team and be the change you want to see in society. Benefits We offer a wide range of benefits, including 30 days of annual leave, enhanced family friendly policies, pension and interest free travel loans. Our employees also have access to a tenancy deposit loan, payroll giving, cycle to work scheme and an employee assistance programme. Shelter helps millions of people every year struggling with bad housing or homelessness through our advice, support and legal services. And we campaign to make sure that, one day, no one will have to turn to us for help. We're here so no one has to fight bad housing or homelessness on their own.
