This role is ideal for someone who thrives on connection, organisation, and values-led growth. It’s not a hard-sell environment — your focus is long-term relationships, not fast conversions.
Key Responsibilities
- Manage and respond quickly to inbound referrals and new enquiries

- Design and launch marketing campaigns (email, print, social, etc.) with our marketing team

Who You Are
You’re someone who leads with purpose and builds trust. You might come from:
Education, SEN or AP services
Sales or outreach roles in ethical sectors
Local authority or youth sector partnership work
Essential:
Excellent communicator, both written and verbal
Experience working with CRMs (HubSpot preferred)
Organised, proactive and people-focused

- Collaborative, mission-driven culture
- Training and support in safeguarding, HubSpot, and AP sector specifics
- Opportunity to shape a high-impact, fast-growing service
Performance Bonus
We offer a clear, ethical incentive scheme that rewards long-term impact — not hard selling.
Once you’ve helped us grow enough provision to cover your base salary, you’ll earn a share of the revenue you help generate, with bonuses linked to quality, sustained placements. This bonus starts only when young people are successfully enrolled and supported beyond their initial sessions.
Many successful placements continue for many weeks / terms or even several school years – meaning your earnings can grow alongside the lives you help change.
We’ll explain the full bonus structure during the recruitment process.
