Working with the Head of Commercial Services, you will be responsible for delivering I CAN’s business development and sales activity. This will include gaining excellent product knowledge, generating and cultivating leads, developing proposals and closing deals.

This is a very interesting and varied role. Being part of a small, dynamic team, the post holder will have the opportunity to gain additional experience in a whole range of areas such as product development, process improvement and customer acquisition. Our product portfolio is aimed at the children's workforce, so the role would be particularly suitable for someone who has a passion for children fulfilling their full potential, as well as experience of the purchasing behaviour of schools, children's centres and nurseries.

If this sounds like you, and you want to have a broad ranging role where you get ample opportunity to develop new skills whilst also helping children to find their voice then we would love to hear from you.

• Ability to learn and take on new challenges
