Job Vacancy: London Development Manager for Enabling Enterprise

Enabling Enterprise are looking for a self-starter with an entrepreneurial outlook, comfortable working with students and presenting to school leaders. The ideal candidate would have successful teaching experience in a primary or secondary school in the UK, although we would be prepared to accept applications from other exceptional candidates.

Enabling Enterprise is an education-focused social enterprise, ensuring students leave school equipped with the skills, aspirations and experiences to succeed. We are winners of two national education awards, and a social enterprise award.

This is a key post in the development of Enabling Enterprise as we work towards our goal of working with 30,000 students across the UK by 2014. In the next academic year, we will be working with around 10,000 students across London, Birmingham, Manchester and Nottingham. We have recently received backing from the Young Foundation as well as our corporate supporters to expand rapidly.

This role, therefore, offers an excellent opportunity for the right candidate to take the lead in expanding our London operations as well as ensuring the schools we currently work with have an excellent experience. In return the candidate can expect to be part of an inspiring team, and benefit from opportunities for rapid growth, progression and challenge. If you’re looking for your next role and want to help transform education in England, we want to hear from you.
