Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You will be working directly with the Director in a small, early-stage CIC, which means there is a high level of flexibility, collaboration, and opportunity to shape how the organisation develops. As we are currently volunteer-led, this role is ideal for someone who is comfortable working in a start-up style environment and can take initiative.
This is a unique opportunity to play a meaningful role in building a social enterprise from the ground up, with your input directly influencing how we grow, scale, and create impact in the community.
There is potential for this role to develop into a longer-term leadership or Board position, subject to mutual fit and organisational needs.
