Our Work Ethos 

Entrepreneurial Spark is one of the most stimulating and vibrant companies that you will ever have the pleasure of operating in. We think differently and every day you will be working with inspirational people with exciting and creative ideas, so will operate in a continuous learning environment. In this phase of growth, you will be working in a small team. There is a level of autonomy that comes with the remote working, and this comes with a degree of flexibility in the role. We will rely on you to bring your thoughts and ideas to the table and be an integral part of the growth of Entrepreneurial Spark. 

We won’t lie, if you are looking for a standard Monday – Friday, 9-5 role, or you don’t fancy working in a dynamic, flexible, and fast paced early-stage business then this isn’t for you!

As a team we believe in growth, learning and development so you should be comfortable being uncomfortable. As a role model for the people you work with and a key member of a small team, we will challenge you to up your game and be the best you can be. If you are not open to honest and frank conversations which will help you and the company grow, then this isn’t for you. 

The Package 

• £33,000-£36,000 annual salary (depending on experience). 
• £75 monthly wellbeing allowance to spend on your physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. 
• 28 days annual holiday allowance + bank holidays 
• Statutory pension scheme, mobile phone and laptop will be provided if required. 

Location 

This is a hybrid role, where most days you will work from home, with occasional travel required. We have in-person events nationally which you would be expected to travel to, around once per month on average. We also hold in-person team meetings once per quarter which you would need to join. All travel and accommodation will be covered for the above events and meetings.
