Charityworks 2022 Talent Programme

Charityworks is the UK’s non-profit and charity sector 12-month, talent programme, that gives you the opportunity to deliver a full-time paid job in a partner charity or housing association and to make a real social impact.

Alongside your placement, you will take part in a Leadership Development programme endorsed by the Institute of Leadership and Management, complete an individual research project to deepen your understanding of the sector and be supported by a mentor and peer coach. Our programme has been designed to accelerate your career development and will provide you with the skills needed to launch your career in the social sector!

Our Fast Track Offer

The Charityworks Fast-Track is an opportunity for people from Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic backgrounds to gain professional development experience in preparation to launch a career in the non-profit sector through the Charityworks Talent Programme. Here’s what you gain by taking part:

• You gain access to professional development support at our supportive development days that aim to grow your leadership skills in preparation to launch a career in the non-profit sector
• You gain fast-track access to the Charityworks Programme in 2022 by skipping straight to our final assessment activities at our supportive development days
