About us

Go Inspire International C.I.C. is a women founded charity with the purpose of bringing women together to grow and thrive as a community. We believe that the world will be a better place when all women are supported to become the best versions of ourselves, and that this will allow us to better challenge the discrimination we face.

We do this by creating community centres for women, delivering wellbeing education through our events and media platform and creating a resource hub to connect women to all the information and support they need. 

Our core values are equality, intersectionality, sustainability, social connection, excellence and fun. These values permeate everything we do here at Go Inspire UK. 

If you’ve ever wanted to experience working in a place where you and your ambition are fully seen, appreciated and supported, and you want to join a really fun, high energy, full of laughs and mega supportive team then this is the opportunity for you. 

Job Description 

You will work alongside our CEO and Managing Director throughout 2024/5 to:

• Build and manage our events team

• Build systems and processed to plan, execute and review all events

About you 

• Be a rogue thinker, willing to come up with bold and innovative ideas. We love creativity and ridiculousness here.

• Time management and delegation skills are vital to make sure you’re keeping to the agreed hours! 

• Organisation nerds are wanted :D that and any events management and planning experience.

• Above all, to thrive in this role you need to be energetic, enthusiastic and willing to work in a fast paced environment as it’s a hectic but exciting one. 

Note: please do apply if you don’t tick all the above boxes. More than experience, we make decisions on team fit, willingness to grow and ambition

What we can give you 

We care deeply about creating a team and environment that people love to be a part of, and not just so we can say that in our marketing! As such, we work hard to make sure that you:

• Are part of a connected team with regular meet ups and social events.

• Get the support to achieve your personal and professional goals.

• Get regular feedback to make sure you’re on track and growing. 

• Have the opportunity to flex your creativity and propose and drive ideas forward.

• Be part of building an organisation that creates real positive impact in empowering women to not just survive, but to thrive.

• Work in a way that suits you and your unique needs, with support to identify your needs and implement solutions to meet them.

• And more than anything else, a team that sees you for who you are, and works to make sure you are reaching your true potential, your way.  

• Amazing references.

And of course it goes without saying that fellow neurodiversies and those who think differently are so very welcome and celebrated in this space! 
 

How to apply and what happens next

Please fill in the following application form, no need to attach a CV. If we think you could be a good fit we will invite you for an interview with the relevant member of the leadership team.

We will do our best to get back to you if we don’t think this role is for you but due to the high number of applications this isn’t always possible. If you don’t hear from us for two weeks do feel free to reach out, but often this means you didn’t get through to interviews this time.
