Outreach Lead

We are looking for a dynamic, entrepreneurial individual who has a passion for our mission at Smart Works Newcastle to drive referrals to the service and delivery of our strategic plan.

As Outreach Lead, you will be responsible for looking after and developing our important partnerships with our referrers. You will be the face of Smart Works North East in the local community, which in practice means presenting to partners and potential clients, attending job fairs and events, and identifying opportunities of partnership working to encourage referrals. 

Working in close collaboration with the rest of the Smart Works North East team, you will take a joined up approach to implement the outreach strategy in the north east, and manage our network of over 150 referral partners with the aim of doubling the number of women we support. 

This role would be perfect for someone who loves meeting new people, and able to speak passionately about our service to a range of different audiences. The role would be based at our Smart Works centre in Newcastle, with frequent off-site attendance of events, meetings and presentations across the region. There may be occasional evening and weekend work as the successful candidate will be part of the wider centre team, helping with networking and key events support. As part of the wider service delivery team, you will also play an active role in ensuring our volunteer-powered service is delivered to the highest possible standard in our centres.

To apply, please submit your CV and cover letter (see job pack for details of questions) via our portal by 12 noon on Monday 1st December.
