About The Girls’ Network

The Girls’ Network is an award-winning charity that works with girls from the least advantaged communities and provides them with a mentor and network of role models who are women to open up opportunities and networks that they otherwise would not have access to. We have a large and growing network of supporters, mentors and schools and work across eight regions of England.

We strive for diversity in our team. If we’re going to deliver mentoring to girls from the least advantaged communities we want to ensure that the team is inclusive and representative of the girls we work with. We particularly encourage applications from people who identify as Black, from an ethnic minority or from migrant or refugee backgrounds. We have an active and cross organisational Equity, Diversion and Inclusion Strategy in place. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, however all applicants must have the right to work in the UK. We are a proud supporter of Show the Salary and The Halo Code. To learn more about our progress and intentions in this area, please read our CEO’s blog post, here.
