Daryl Upsall International actively promotes equality, diversity and inclusion. In recruiting candidates, we seek candidates with the proven skills required; irrespective of race, gender, religion or belief, age, disability or sexual orientation.

This is an ideal role for someone who wants to take a leadership position in a fast paced, cause-driven dynamic environment and get a diverse range of opportunities across social enterprise. You will be highly organised, with strong attention to detail, and the sort of person who gains satisfaction from juggling multiple priorities and working with multiple stakeholders. You must thrive in a busy environment and be excited about working for an agile and passionate social enterprise. You will be responsible for managing the programme across the regional, so should be happy working autonomously whilst always having the support of the central team. This is a great opportunity to work for a growing social enterprise, ambitious about making a real difference to the lives of people in the local community and expanding our reach into new areas in the UK. 

Background To The Role

Well Grounded runs the UK’s first series of specialty coffee training academies, connecting people looking for work with sustainable careers in the coffee industry. We are looking for a motivated and passionate individual to join our team, as Programme Lead for our Bristol academy and impact. Since 2023 we have been running training programmes from Bristol with 73% of completers going into work. We are looking for someone to build our presence in Bristol as our first permanent team member in Bristol, working closely together with our central team in London. You will be responsible for running our programmes in the area including overseeing recruitment of candidates (‘trainees’) for our programmes, working with local community organisations, coffee employers and potential funders.

About The Role

As the local lead, you will be responsible for managing the day to day operations of our social impact in the local area, liaising with local employer partners, recruiting learners onto our programmes and ensuring onward employment for Graduates. To ensure the long-term success of our Bristol academy, fundraising will also form a part of this role, so we are looking for someone entrepreneurial with strong networking and partnership building skills. You’ll be equally comfortable connecting with local government contacts as with local coffee industry leaders to create new funding opportunities and partnerships. Safeguarding, monitoring and reporting are essential to this role and we will provide safeguarding training as part of your induction.

We want to meet the right person for the organisations’ plans for the future and support you to grow and develop based on your strengths. Most importantly you will have a strong conviction in the potential of all people to achieve their goals.
