Events Manager (Maternity Cover)

About UnLtd UnLtd is the leading provider of support to social entrepreneurs in the UK and offers the largest such network in the world. Our mission is to find social entrepreneurs with bold solutions to today's challenges. Through funding and support, we help them to realise their potential and create lasting change. UnLtd values diversity and is committed to inclusion and understanding intersectionality. These are more than just buzz words for us; they are principles guiding how we build our teams, support leaders and empower social entrepreneurs. We want to create an organisation that's the right fit for everyone we work with. To support an inclusive environment where employees feel empowered to share their lived experiences and ideas, we have embedded an equity and inclusion group within UnLtd, giving us a wide range of different perspectives in our work to help us see what is most needed in society. We are particularly keen to hear from those who identify as Black, Asian or minority ethnic, LGBTQIA, people who are disabled, those with learning differences, those with caring responsibilities, from a less advantaged socioeconomic background as well as any other under-represented group in our workforce.

The role UnLtd is a vibrant, ambitious organisation at the heart of the UK's social enterprise sector. As a key stakeholder and leading funder and supporter of social entrepreneurs, we continuously learn and adapt to better meet their needs and maximise their impact. We are seeking an Events Manager to lead UnLtd's event portfolio while our current Events Manager is on maternity leave. This person will be responsible for leading, coordinating and delivering the event plan in line with the organisational strategy. We are looking for a confident event specialist who will be able to support our frontline team to deliver a schedule of events for social entrepreneurs and UnLtd's wider network. You will be flexible in your approach and confident managing the whole process from planning through to delivery and event evaluation. The role is primarily hands-on and often involves working as part of, and at times leading, a cross-functional team. This role will suit you if you are patient and keep calm when things don't go to plan, or when you don't have all the answers you need. You'll fall back on your meticulous organisation skills to ensure that UnLtd events are produced efficiently, fulfil their purpose, and are executed to the highest level. This role may include some travel within the UK and evening work; however, we operate a TOIL system.

Job requirements We need to know a bit about you, your experience and what you can bring to UnLtd. You can submit a CV + supporting statement (up to 2 pages). We'd love you to tell us: About you – your skills, experience and personal qualities; Why you're interested in the role and what you hope to get out of it. The main thing is you can demonstrate you have skills and experience (Lived or learned) that relate to what we have said we are looking for. We particularly welcome applications from people with disabilities, Black, Asian, or Minority Ethnic backgrounds, LGBTQIA and from different socio-economic and educational backgrounds.
