About The Role
At Simplyhealth, our purpose is to improve access to healthcare for all in the UK. As a certified B Corp with more than 150 years of heritage, we're committed to making healthcare more affordable, accessible, and inclusive for everyone.
We’re looking for an entrepreneurial social impact leader to join our ESG team. The central purpose of the role is to design a community-focused initiative, inspired by leading models such as The Felix Project and Cook for Good, to address food insecurity in Hampshire.
During the 6-month contract, you’ll create the business case for the initiative – developing a vision and operating model aligned with community needs, based on local needs analysis and stakeholder mapping. You’ll present the business case to the Board and, if successfully approved, the 6m FTC will be extended with a multi-year investment.
Responsibilities
At this point, your role would change from business case to implementation and delivery. Your focus would be creating and scaling a Community Interest Company (CIC), working closely with local communities, partners, and funders to deliver a sustainable and high-impact solution. Responsibilities at that point would include:
