• Private Medical insurance
• Income protection
• Employer pension contributions of 5%
• Access to Cycle 2 Work loan scheme

At Centrepoint we challenge the discrimination within society that contributes to youth homelessness, and we are just as committed to fairness and equality within Centrepoint itself. We are passionate about ensuring all of our colleagues are made to feel included in the work we do and that we value the rich diversity within the organization.

• "We’re a small, supportive team where everyone’s voice matters.  We work with autonomy and are dedicated to creative, person centred care.”

• “The work is challenging and it can be emotive, but it is deeply rewarding and the team work is strong”.

• "The leadership is strong and leaders are accessible, engaging and empowering. Clinical supervision and reflective practice is actively enabled”.
