About

The University of East Anglia is seeking suitably qualified and experienced individuals to join a Dynamic Purchasing System to deliver specialist business support and mentoring to SMEs in Norfolk and Suffolk participating in Invest East's Investment Readiness Programme. Invest East is a three-year business support project part funded by the European Regional Development Fund and delivered by Norfolk County Council, Suffolk County Council, New Anglia LEP and the University of East Anglia; the Investment Readiness Programme (delivered by UEA) will run for three years with multiple cohorts and include one-to-one advisor support, mentoring, seminars, pitching cycles, networking events and tailor-made professional support to help SMEs prepare to take on investment. UEA is building a pool of experienced professionals who can provide engagements ranging from a half-hour phone call to a series of meetings or workshops; no work is guaranteed.

Insight

This could be ideal for independent mentors, business advisors and consultants with experience supporting early-stage or high-growth SMEs and familiarity with investment readiness activities. Key considerations include the variable and intermittent nature of assignments (no guaranteed work), the need to deliver both short and extended engagements and the requirement to work with SMEs preparing to take on investment.
