Brake

Who we are

Brake is a national, acclaimed charity tackling one of the biggest issues of our time - the daily horrific carnage of deaths, injuries, and air pollution on roads. Traffic is the biggest killer of young people worldwide, poisoning our lungs and contributing hugely to the climate emergency. Brake’s vision is that people get around in safe and healthy ways. Our values require us to be evidence-based, aim high, and work collaboratively. We have a 30-year reputation for shouting out for positive change, advising government, encouraging action in communities, and delivering the UK’s National Road Victim Service for bereaved and catastrophically injured families.

Our culture and values

Our values are:

Professional - we uphold Brake's reputation through our actions

Collaboration - we listen, learn, challenge and improve together

Integrity - we do the right thing for the right reasons

Compassion - we act with kindness and consider the impact of our behaviour on others

Inclusion - we embrace diversity and recognise the need to continue striving to be more inclusive

Courage - we are brave and curious

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

Brake is passionate about creating an inclusive workplace that values diversity. We welcome your application whatever your background or situation. We particularly welcome applications from those who are part of the global majority, the LGBTQIA+ community or disabled. We don’t want you to ‘fit’ our culture, we want you to enrich it. So if you have a passion for making a difference and share in our vision for a world where no one is killed on our roads, we would love to hear from you
