Help us grow something different.
At Seco Support, we don’t do “off the shelf” support.
We create bold, bespoke, relationship-led supported living services for people with learning disabilities, autism and complex needs. Everything we build starts with the person — their life, their goals, their future.
We’re now looking for a Business Development Manager who gets excited about building meaningful connections, spotting opportunities, winning new work and helping us grow across the UK.
This isn’t a corporate sales role.
This is relationship-building with purpose.
You’ll be out meeting commissioners, talking to funders, networking with professionals, shaping bids and tenders, building our online presence and helping tell the story of who Seco really is: creative, human, ambitious and real.
If you’re someone who can walk into a room, build trust quickly and turn conversations into opportunities — we want to hear from you.
Why join our team?
We believe it is vital to look after our employees just as much as we do the people we support. You will always be able to speak to someone who will coach you and provide a space for reflection. You will join a team of professionals who look out for each other and ultimately, work together creatively to achieve the same goals.
• Salary: £45,000.00 per annum plus bonus
• Hybrid working from Plymouth Head Office with occasional travel across the UK
• Working Hours: 37.5 hours per week
• Working Pattern: Monday to Friday
• Company pension
• Full induction and on-going training
• Access to discounts with a variety of retailers
• Access to Medical cashback plan (after successful probation)
• Membership to an Employee Assistance Programme
• Ongoing professional and personal development
• Career progression
About us
We support adults and young people with learning disabilities, autism, and mental health difficulties to live independently in the community. As a compassionate, person-centred company, we focus on creating individualised support packages that empower people to live fulfilling lives. We believe everyone deserves to have deep, caring and meaningful relationships, the right to grow and develop and have access to a safe and welcoming home.
We believe services should be tailored to each individual and that creativity and thinking outside the box are key to delivering bespoke support.
