Year Here is a platform for entrepreneurs who want to tackle problems that matter, consisting of a one-year Fellowship and an Accelerator programme offering investment and business support.

We're hiring – at every level of the organisation. We’re on the hunt for an exceptional Programme Producer to support our next chapter of growth and impact.

About the role

As our Programme Producer, you’ll be supporting many of Year Here’s most critical work strands so that we can propel the UK’s most promising professionals towards entrepreneurship that genuinely makes a difference.

You’ll work closely with our Head of Programme and Partnerships, Programme Manager and new Head of Marketing to manage a seamless journey for our Fellows – from application through to graduation.

At the heart of our programme team, you’ll think through how to bring our curriculum to life in a way that is meaningful and transformative for our Fellows and graft behind the scenes to make sure we pull off each programme component without a hitch.

Given how critical our partnerships are to the success of Year Here, you’ll delight our diverse clients, faculty and strategic partners with your professional and friendly communications.

Your responsibilities will be to:

• Produce and coordinate learning sessions that inspire Fellows to become effective and ambitious changemakers
• Maintain the behind-the-scenes systems that make the programme run smoothly.

Then, supported by a rigorous social innovation curriculum and industry mentoring, they found some of the most promising social startups in the UK. Our new Accelerator supports those emerging ventures with investment, specialist business support, access to clients, and office space.

Year Here is a social enterprise; meaning that our purpose is to create positive change in society rather than to maximise shareholder profits.
