UnLtd, the Foundation for Social Entrepreneurs, is looking for a new Development Lead to help drive forward their ambitious income generation plans.

UnLtd is a charity that finds, funds and supports social entrepreneurs – people with vision, drive and passion who are coming up with solutions that can change the world for the better. Put very simply, these are people who create a business idea with the aim of solving a social problem or effecting social change. As their businesses are generating revenue, they can build their enterprises to become sustainable and grow to help many, many more people that need their support.

In the last few years, UnLtd has focused their support on social entrepreneurs who are creating Access to Employment; those who are developing Solutions for an Ageing Society and those helping to build more Resilient Communities – UnLtd’s impact areas. During the first phases of work in these impact areas, UnLtd has learnt more about what it will take to support social entrepreneurs to grow their ventures and make them sustainable.

UnLtd is now entering an exciting phase to develop our work in these impact areas further. Taking all the learnings to date, UnLtd believes it will be able to support social entrepreneurs to help close the disability employment gap; increase healthy life expectancy for older people and transform more of the communities in which we live and work.

UnLtd needs to raise £7m over the next 3 years to help realise its ambitions for social entrepreneurs working in these impact areas and more. To help them bring their ideas to life, grow their ideas and scale them so ultimately social entrepreneurs can ‘go mainstream’. Where government, business and public all recognise the value they create for society.

We are recruiting an experienced Development Lead with a track record of building new partnerships, cultivating them and converting them. You’ll need to drive the fundraising strategy and activity, making sure we are all making the best of our contacts, bringing in new prospects and using all our energy to convert the best of these to income generating partnerships. You’ll have one eye on managing the income forecast and pipeline and the other on getting out to build and convert prospects.

We’d love to hear from you if you share our goals and ambition. Please click 'Apply for Role' to be directed to the website of Peridot Partners, our recruitment consultants.
