Salary: £90-130 per day depending on experience, fixed term contract for 6 months
Place of work: Remote, but based in the West of England area and able to attend events and occasional in-person meetings.
Background
We want the South-West to be a leading area in the UK for tech for good. Our mission as Tech4Good South West, is to establish ourselves as a pioneering social enterprise in the region, committed to driving a tech sector that is more impactful in addressing societal and environmental issues, actively contributing to the welfare of our communities.
From addressing digital poverty, mental health & well-being and environmental impacts, to ethical implications of emerging technologies, accessibility and digital skills - we believe everyone has equal opportunities to connect, function and thrive in society.
A thriving and sustainable Tech4Good South West community will drive more awareness of tech for good, bringing people and organisations together to consider solutions to societal problems and enable our communities to thrive.
A crowdfunder campaign is bringing together initial funding and sponsors to support our transition from a voluntary network to a recognised legal structure e.g Community Interest Company (CIC). With these funds, we'll be able to expand our reach, support more projects, and make an even bigger impact.
As a legal entity we will be able to enter into contracts, form partnerships, hire support and access a mix of funding, including grants, donations and trading income through a membership model, with benefits including:
Learning, showcase and convening events
Job Board
Funding opportunities
Community activation events
Tech for good recognition awards
Podcasts and community reporting
