Job Opportunity: Passionate about using business to solve some of society's biggest problems?

Deadline 24 August, 2011.

Applications are open for the January 2012 intake of On Purpose, a one-year, full time programme that helps high-calibre professionals kick-start a career in social enterprise.

Associates undertake two paid 6-month social enterprise placements, coupled to intensive 1:1 support and world-class training provided by professionals from organisations such as McKinsey, Bain, IDEO, the Big Issue, UnLtd and Venturesome.

The programme combines high-calibre talent, who have management skills and the drive to succeed, with an ultimate purpose for good. Past Associates have held positions at some of the world’s top corporations, management consultancies and non-profits; they joined On Purpose to gain invaluable experience, knowledge, and networks in the social enterprise space.

This has allowed past Associates to transition into a new sector whilst boosting their career development at the same time.

The programme was started by Tom Rippin in 2009, who left McKinsey & Company to work in the social sector, first as an advisor on private sector matters to the CEO of Comic Relief and then at (RED), the business founded by Bono and Bobby Shriver to help eliminate AIDS in Africa, where he was the Managing Director for Europe and the Director of Business Development for (RED) International.

We are looking for professionals from all backgrounds who have a track record of achievement and two or more years’ work experience. To apply, please go fill in our online application form that you can access herewww.onpurpose.uk.com/what-you-can-do/become-purpose-associate.

About the blog

This blog cover a variety of issues in international development - mainly related to politics of development, urban infrastructure, and watsan.

I first called it "Item One" because I wanted the focus to remain on issues which I believe should be at the top of the agenda, politically speaking. Whilst I still like the idea, the name was a bit too grandiose sounding, and what it's turned in to is more of a collection of offcuts of information gathered during the course of my studies and work experiences to date. 'Splintering' is a term I've come across to describe the nature of modern urban growth. I like to use it here because it holds the imagery of issues that stick like thorns in your side or pricks in your fingers and won't leave you alone until you address them.
