An opportunity to work in school hours only, home-based role for a family friendly employer. Leading on work that makes a real difference to the lives of UK families.

FTE: £27,000. Actual Salary for 16 hours: £11,520

Twinkleboost is a Social Enterprise, delivering parent and baby classes led by a Speech and Language Therapy Assistant, designed to improve children's life chances. Twinkleboost is a relatively small yet quickly growing organisation, providing Speech and Language Support, Coaching and Training to more than 2000 individuals a year, many of whom are living in the 5% most deprived parts of the UK or have additional needs.

We are looking for an organised and entrepreneurial Social Enterprise Manager to support us with the next stage of our journey, working across both Twinkleboost CIC and our new Twinkleboost Charity.

You could be a professional manager with 20 years experience, a parent looking to get back into an executive position after a long break or an exceptional recent ambitious graduate with a methodical approach and excellent technological skills.

You will be self-motivated, organised and process driven, happy to work to targets and take responsibility for getting projects completed to relevant timescales.

The role will primarily involve managing aspects of the business rather than managing a team, although you will work closely with our freelance team, franchisees and Lead Speech and Language Therapist to provide support and guidance on operational matters.

The successful candidate will have an amazing work ethic and be easy to work with- able to respond positively to constructive feedback and take responsibility for meeting targets. They will be able to follow processes carefully whilst using their own initiative to deal with any new situations that come up.

The successful candidate will work constructively with our part time CEO on development projects to provide innovative supports to local families, whilst working independently on their day to day role. The role is home based and will continue to be home based after Covid restrictions change.
