Help employers create better workplaces and improve financial wellbeing.
Society Matters CIC is looking for an enthusiastic and proactive Business Support Coach to join our team.
This is an exciting opportunity for someone with experience in business development, employer engagement, account management, business support or one-to-one business coaching to make a practical difference to employers and their employees.
What You'll Be Doing
As Business Support Coach, you will identify, recruit and support employers to improve employee financial wellbeing and reduce in-work poverty. You will build strong relationships with employers, from initial engagement and onboarding through to tailored business support, coaching and practical workplace improvements.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You will work closely with colleagues, including data specialists, to help employers understand employee consultation findings and turn evidence into practical action. You will also maintain accurate records, monitor progress and contribute to programme reporting and the achievement of agreed targets.
What We're Looking For
You will bring proven experience in business development, employer engagement or account management, including generating leads and securing organisational participation. You will be comfortable providing tailored business support or coaching, working with senior leaders and translating workplace challenges and data into practical solutions.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
It would be great if you also have
- Experience of working with SMEs, VCSE organisations or foundational economy employers
- Employee wellbeing, HR or organisational development
- Workshops or employer networks
- Funded programmes and evidencing outcomes
