Experience within the charity sector is a bonus, but we’re more interested in your potential, your purpose, and your desire to make a difference.

The young people we support rely on our teams, and those teams rely on technology that works. Your leadership will ensure they have the tools they need, when they need them, so they can focus on helping young people reach their potential.

If you’re looking for more than just a job and if you want your tech skills to create real social change, we want to hear from you. Even if you don’t tick every box, your drive and purpose could make you the perfect fit.

OUR COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY

Diversity is one of our core values as an organisation and we are committed to creating an inclusive working environment where diversity is valued and there is equality of opportunity. Currently, the environmental sector is the second least diverse in the UK, with just 4.8% of employees from ethnic minority backgrounds. We also recognise that the climate and ecological crisis disproportionately impacts minority and/or marginalised communities – yet these voices are largely underrepresented in the sector. If the environmental movement is to succeed in creating a greener future that supports society as a whole, we need diverse voices at the heart of our programmes. We, therefore, encourage people from demographics that are currently underrepresented in the environmental movement to apply.

GUARANTEED INTERVIEW SCHEME

We particularly encourage applications from people from ethnic minority backgrounds or living with a disability or long-term health conditions. We will offer an interview to any candidates from ethnic minority backgrounds or living with a disability who opt into our Guaranteed Interview Scheme when applying and who meet the essential criteria for this role.
