About the role

You’ll be finding, nurturing and propelling the most promising early career professionals towards entrepreneurship that genuinely makes a difference.
Your goal will be to recruit 50 brilliant Fellows per year – drawn from the best of their generation – who are smart, bold, compassionate and driven to make society better in practical, creative and entrepreneurial ways. You’ll make sure that they go on to fulfil their potential for national social impact.
You’ll think through the whole talent cycle, end-to-end, from potential applicants’ first interaction with us through to how we support Fellows into post-Year Here life and how we keep the family connected through alumni events.
The role is dynamic and very varied. It’s bound to stretch you in new directions.

Your responsibilities will be to:

Do direct sourcing every day
Use your knack for networking to track down and personally approach thousands of perfect potential Year Here Fellows.
Generate applications through your inventive digital marketing efforts.
Write delightful, compelling blog posts, email campaigns, tweets and advertising campaigns – and build out our CRM system to make our marketing evermore sophisticated.
Nurture and grow relationships with our Talent Development Partners.
Help the perfect potential Fellows find their way to us through friendly, respected organisations that share our mission.
Take ownership of Year Here recruitment events.
We put on events – open evenings and invite-only roundtables – to support our search for perfect potential Fellows, and we’d like you to grow their scope and ambition.
Plan and manage Year Here’s presence at third-party events.
Get us out to the career fairs, meetups and conferences with the best talent and create an original, high-quality presence that reflects our brand and mission.
Manage the Year Here selection process.
To choose our Fellows we mix written and video applications, selection workshops and panel interviews. You’ll manage this process every step of the way, drawing on the rest of the Year Here staff team.
Broaden access to Year Here.
Develop partnerships to reduce costs and increase income for our Fellows – like those we already have with TfL, EdAid and Dot Dot Dot Housing – and ensure that applicants’ financial circumstances aren’t a barrier to their participation

About you

You’re charming as hell.
You’re going to be the first person many potential Year Here Fellows will meet from our team so you’ll be personable, confident and a great rapport-builder.
You’re an articulate writer and talker.
In your emails, website updates, blog posts, tweets, posts, presentations, talks, and off-the-cuff chats you’ll sparkle when explaining why Year Here is so great.
Whether or not you’ve done it before, you’ll love the online marketing side of this job.
Because you can write and because you’re hungry to learn, you’re going to figure out how to get inbound applications through channels such as great CRM/email, content marketing, paid advertising, social media campaigns, and organic search.
You’ve got an entrepreneurial bent.
You enjoy fast moving environments and you’re used to achieving a lot with a little. You might have set something up in the past or you’re planning to in the future.
You care about brand and design.
Whether or not you're a designer yourself, you know what great digital and print content looks like and you won't send anything out that doesn't reflect us and our high standards.
You care passionately about social issues.
Your friends have probably all heard your views on social problems like the housing crisis, elderly isolation and social immobility – and you’re always up to date with current affairs.
You’re not afraid of working hard in pursuit of a big vision.

Who we are

Year Here is a postgraduate course in social innovation based in London. Unlike a traditional Master's degree, Year Here is immersive and action-oriented. Our Fellows try their hand at building creative responses to social problems, supported by industry mentoring and a rigorous social innovation curriculum.

Year Here Fellows have collectively volunteered 70,000 hours in frontline services – including homeless shelters, care leavers' services and pupil referral units – and launched 18 new social ventures backed by Nesta, The Observer, Ashoka, UnLtd, Bethnal Green Ventures and the Esmee Fairbairn Foundation.

These ventures include:

Birdsong - a fashion brand selling clothes handcrafted by women’s groups – from elderly knitters to migrant seamstresses – with a ‘no sweatshops, no photoshop’ ethos
Fat Macy’s - a roving restaurant that trains homeless Londoners to run supper clubs, with profits helping them raise a deposit for their first flat
Cracked It - a training programme for young people who are involved in gangs to fix cracked iPhones, as an entrepreneurial route away from gang crime

Year Here is a social enterprise; meaning that we are a company that exists to bring about positive change in society rather than to maximise shareholder profits.
