New Business Development Manager, Software Company,
London Bridge
14 - 21 hrs/wk -could potentially grow into more hours
£25,000 pro rata - plus commission

We have been providing professional IT support services and reliable software solutions to businesses and charities across the UK for over 13 years. We are looking for an experienced New Business Development Manager to join our team to sell both our outsourced network support services and our website build services. A technical background is not as important as your ability to build relationships, demonstrate integrity to our customers and hit revenue targets.
As our client base comprises the charity sector and small to medium sized enterprises, we require someone who is skilled at ‘soft’ selling, who understands budget constraints and who can work with long lead times. However, this needs to be combined with a keen understanding of the needs of our business to generate revenue and be profitable. You will work closely with the marketing department to generate and follow up leads, follow up website enquiries, and you will set up and attend meetings, close deals and manage contracts.
It is essential that the successful candidate has a business development background and understands all aspects of the sales cycle. If you have sales experience in outsourced services and knowledge and understanding of selling into the charity sector then so much the better, although this is not vital. What is vital is that you are a great people person who is prepared to learn the technical aspects of the role and who is excited by the challenge of growing our business. We believe there is lots of scope for this role to grow and we are keen to find someone who can rise to the challenge of taking us forward.

HR Manager, Hair Salon,
Marylebone
1 day a week (3/4 days per week for first month)
£35,000 - £40,000 pro rata - depending on experience

We are the largest hair salon in Europe, with over 50 years of experience - our passion for hair is obvious. With over 100 employees our success is part due to the fact we train from within, so the majority of our employee started out with us as apprentices. Hence our apprentices are very important to us, the annual intake is in June/July, and we currently offer them a 2-3 year training programme allowing them to achieve an NVQ Level 2.
Due to our continued growth an exciting opportunity has arisen for an HR professional to become part of the management team. This role will own the HR function and support management from making offers, through to settling new employees in to the salon. You will be there to help all employees understand the details of their contracts, and get involved in employee relations issues. You will advise and support employees and management, in areas such as understanding contracts, dealing with payroll issues in conjunction with the financial controller, employee relations, absence management, and ensuring that the salon is up to speed on all employment legislation changes. In addition you will be responsible for giving accurate and appropriate business-focused advice on the full range of HR policies, and employment law to management and employees; ensuring HR admin needs are met; all company policies and procedures are up to date; and that training and development meet the requirements of the business.
We envisage there being an initial period where you review our current status; make recommendations on changes/improvements; meet all staff and ensure our contracts and policies/procedures reflect current legislation. This probably means that you will be in the office a few days a week for the first month, or so. You will then revert to your normal work pattern when you will be in the office one day a fortnight, but be available the rest of the time by phone to give advice on the rare occasion it is needed. You may need to attend on other days if a disciplinary meeting is called. You will also be expect to have a greater attendance in the first few weeks of the apprentices joining in June/July to ensure that you have had time with each of them to ensure there is a comprehensive understanding of their terms and conditions of employment.
The ideal candidate must be confident and outgoing, have an eye for detail and excellent communication skills. You will be a real people person with the ability to build rapport across all levels of the business. It is essential that you have a good working knowledge of The Working Time Directive 1998, and also must hold a CIPD or equivalent qualification. If you are looking for a varied role in an exciting and rewarding environment, this opportunity might be ideal for you.
