School for Social Entrepreneurs
Careers at School for Social Entrepreneurs
We can’t fix issues like poverty, climate change and ill-health alone. That’s why the School for Social Entrepreneurs exists.
We help 1,000 people a year develop the skills, strengths and networks they need to tackle society’s biggest problems. We run courses that equip people to start, scale and strengthen organisations that make a positive difference.
But we’re not a traditional school. Learning with SSE is inspiring, action-based and accessible. We support people in other ways too, such as funding and mentoring.
Lord Michael Young founded SSE in 1997. Today we work internationally, with teams across the UK, Canada and India.
Together, we’re changing lives and transforming communities.

I started during the pandemic, which was always going to be challenging, but everyone has made it clear that wellbeing is a #1 priority and nobody feels out of reach for a catch-up. Nailing such a supportive culture while we're all working from home makes such a big difference - I feel really part of the SSE community. - S

Time & again I hear at SSE that people love working here because of the people, and it's true. It's such a great team - smart, interesting, committed & creative. We collaborate on almost everything and deeply respect each other - everyone is genuinely lovely! And we are always learning from each other and the people we support. There is a strong focus on wellbeing in our culture, which I have especially appreciated in the past year. People share their "outside work" passions & learning freely - morning yoga sessions led by a teammate, Lunch & Learns where we share our hobbies and areas of expertise. Of course, the work we do is hugely rewarding in itself. I love supporting social entrepreneurs & I believe we're the best in the business at doing so. It's amazing to know that I play a small part in an organisation supporting social entrepreneurs who, in turn, help 3.4 million people in need every year. There's a reason I've stuck around at SSE for four years! - AM
