About CharityJob

The CharityJob story began at the turn of the millennium, when our founding directors, Raya and Steve (who between them have 40 years’ experience in the charity sector), realised how difficult it was for charities to recruit the best people.

True to our original vision of giving back to the sector, we donate 10% of our profits to charities and not-for-profits. And that’s why we’re proud to be the charity sector’s Champion. Better people. Better charities. Better world.

Teachers and professionals from across the UK have brokered over 1,200,000 student- employer encounters with F4S, inspiring young people, helping them understand what skills are needed to improve their employability.

At our core, we are developing meaningful and direct connections between professionals, teachers, and young people, in particular those from more disadvantaged areas.

Our platform for young people aged 6-18, the Educator Service, provides a GPS system with recommendations to guide educators and young people to search for, and request professionals to offer inspirational engagements, which open the minds of children across the UK. Like amazon and booking but with people rather than books or hotels.

Evolved with over five years of experience, the platform includes a recommendation engine, which guides the educator and young people to select the most appropriate professional to help them take steps along their journey to fulfilling lives.

Arguably our most powerful services are our deep analytics services, which provide a high and low level oversight of our engagements to a variety of stakeholders from parent to government.
