Job description

At Evolve Counselling, our mission is professional, accredited mental health talking therapies - at low cost or no-cost - for those who need them most.

Working with adults as private individuals, or through employee wellbeing and assistance schemes, we offer hundreds of remote or face-to-face sessions every month – and demand is growing.

Evolve is growing too. A charitable CIO, we have ambitious plans to extend beyond our Cambridgeshire base and to find new and better ways to deliver the very best in mental health support for our clients.

The new Business Development lead is crucial to the long-term success and impact of Evolve Counselling.

You will be securing new and existing professional mental health counselling contracts with a range of commercial clients, increasing our engagement with private individuals - either referred to us or independently seeking the best counselling - plus sourcing charitable grants and sponsorships to support our ‘low-cost or no-cost’ ambitions and building voluntary sector partnerships to further our work.

A good background in charitable fundraising and development, or solid commercial new business/sales management experience, is essential.

This is a part-time role, remote working, but with a requirement to be able to attend frequent on-site meetings concentrated upon Cambridgeshire, Peterborough and Northamptonshire - as well as across the wider UK.

Salary: £12,500 pro rata for 15 hours a week (£29.2k FTE). Initially 18 months, with the possibility of extension to permanent full-time for on-target performance.
