We can’t fix issues like poverty, climate change and ill health alone. That’s why the School for Social Entrepreneurs exists. SSE helps 1,000 people a year develop the skills, strengths and networks they need to tackle society’s biggest problems. It runs courses that equip people to start, scale and strengthen organisations that make a positive difference. But it is not a traditional school. Learning with SSE is inspiring, action based and accessible. SSE supports people in others ways too, such as funding and mentoring.
But this doesn’t happen by magic. We need to identify the opportunities and build the funding partnerships that enable us to achieve our impact, and maintain and grow these relationships over time. That’s where you come in. We are looking for two Development Officers to join our team and grow our impact further.
You will succeed in the role if you believe in the potential of social entrepreneurship to create social change, if you are excited about identifying new opportunities for SSE to grow our work across the country, and if you are an organised and dedicated individual, ready to apply your skills to this role.
These roles are an ideal opportunity for somebody with some relevant experience, who is looking to develop skills and experience within the social enterprise sector and/or in a development role.
To apply, please see details in the enclosed application pack.
