This is a new role at a genuine moment of growth for SSE – we expect to recruit over 600 social entrepreneurs across our learning programmes next year and every one of them starts with a good assessment.
Our assessment work spans a large pool of staff, freelancers and partners, and this role exists to bring it all together: clear frameworks, consistent data, and a process that’s welcoming to people who don’t always find application processes easy.
We’re looking for an assessment lead to design and embed the systems, training and guidance that help our wider team assess applicants fairly, consistently and efficiently – and to carry out assessments and interviews directly. You’ll work closely with the Head of Grants and Assessment, our Tech Team, and Programme Managers across the organisation.
You’ll have experience working with social enterprises, charities or the third sector, strong systems thinking, and a good aptitude for CRMs and form-building tools such as Salesforce or FormAssembly. An understanding of accessibility and the barriers some applicants face is essential.
Interviews: Friday 21st and Friday 28th August (online)
