Head of Social Firm Development
What happens when you get to spend every moment and all your energy on creating jobs for some of the most disadvantaged members of our community?
Here’s your chance to find out…
Social Firms exist to provide good, sustainable employment for people with learning disabilities. Through our initiatives over the last 25 years, Yes2Ventures has seen the importance and impact of employment in a Social Firm for severely disadvantaged people who want to work but have never been given the chance.
Supported by Opportunity Sheffield, Yes2Ventures is taking the lead in growing the breadth and quality of employment opportunities for people in Sheffield with learning difficulties and disabilities, neurodiversity and/or autism.
We are looking for a compassionate and collaborative leader to head up this venture and be the new figurehead for our organisation and our wider movement for change. You will work across the city to promote the benefits and opportunities of starting or becoming a Social Firm and provide a helping hand to entrepreneurs and potential employees as they begin their journey.
This is a broad and varied role, which would suit someone who thrives when every day looks different and has a track record of working collaboratively to build support for and nurture new social initiatives.
The post is initially offered at four days per week with a firm commitment to extend this to full-time when funding permits. We are open to requests for job-sharing and secondments.
Further information about the role and how to apply can be found in our job pack which you can download here . The closing date for applications is 2pm on Wednesday 27 November 2024.
