Inclusion and diversity at Unifrog

Within the company we try to foster a culture of innovation, and a happy working environment, both because this is the right thing to do, and because we think this results in the most effective team.

As a platform that supports teachers and students from a huge variety of backgrounds it’s important that our team and leadership reflects this diversity. This is something we are actively working towards and prioritising. We want to embed diversity, equity and inclusion across everything we do, continually evaluating policies and practices to make sure they are inclusive and equitable.

To make sure everyone’s voice is heard and people have the opportunities to learn to be better allies in the workplace, we encourage the team to share what they’re celebrating, facilitate training and group discussions, and seek regular feedback about what more the company could do to help people feel included.

To ensure that our recruitment process is consistent and fair, we anonymise your application and therefore do not see your name, personal, educational or professional background. We also randomise the order of responses so that it’s less likely that a candidate is advantaged or disadvantaged by where their answers appear compared to other candidates.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion 

Diversity is important to us and we appreciate difference through difference, inclusiveness and belonging. It gives us a deeper understanding of the world, our society and the diverse communities we’re working with. By including everyone, we are able to draw on the unique experiences and expertise of our people to help shape and enrich our workplace and improve our services. One way we are doing is through our valued staff networks which play a critical and highly valued role in keeping us focused on creating a diverse, inclusive and engaged employer.  We recognise and support staff networks and support groups for our ethnically diverse and LGBTQIA+ colleagues. We are also proud to have been awarded Disability Confident Employer status and are a signatory to the Business in the Community Race at Work Charter. 

We aim for our workforce to reflect the diversity of the communities we serve; for those who work for us to feel heard, valued and feel they belong; and for our work to help tackle wider mental health inequalities. We therefore actively encourage and welcome applications from everyone, including applicants with lived experience of mental illness, those who are Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer or Questioning, Intersex, Asexual and any other gender identity not expressed here (LGBTQIA+); people who are neurodiverse, have a health condition, or a disability or hidden disability and people from an ethnically diverse background - regardless of your age, religious or spiritual belief, sexual orientation, marital status, veteran status, pregnancy, political view or socio-economic status.

Becoming a truly anti-racist organisation 

We have an ambition of become a truly anti-racist employer, campaigning organisation and service provider - and in our efforts to influence policy and wider societal factors impacting on mental health set out in our anti-racist statement . We have designed a multi-year anti-racist programme of work contained in our Race Equality Action Plan which demonstrates our intention to hold ourselves accountable and be judged on our progress on becoming a truly anti-racist organisation.

We are looking for a Family Support Manager who is passionate about making a real difference for families of children and young people with disabilities. This is an opportunity to lead a dedicated team, expand our support services, and make sure that no child or young person is left without the vital care they need due to a lack of resources or support.

You will have the chance to bring fresh ideas, develop new ways of working, and strengthen our support pathways. This role is your opportunity to make a lasting impact, not just by delivering exceptional support, but by building a service that continues to grow and improve as part of our ‘Bridging the Gap’ strategy.

This is a home-based role, and you can be based anywhere in the UK, with travel (paid for) to our Head Office in Kent at least once a month and occasionally to other areas of the UK as required.

About Tree of Hope: ‘Bridging The Gap’ in Children and Young People’s Healthcare

Tree of Hope is a UK children and young people’s healthcare charity dedicated to helping families secure the funding and support they need for their seriously ill and disabled children. Since 1992, we have been a vital source of guidance and assistance for families, empowering them to access medical treatments, therapies, and equipment that are not freely available through the NHS or social care.

In October 2024, Tree of Hope launched our new three-year strategy, ‘Bridging the Gap’, to tackle the growing challenges families face in accessing the care their disabled children need. With over 1 million children in the UK living with disabilities and 40% of families with disabled children living in poverty, the need for support has never been greater. Far too many families are falling through the cracks.

‘Bridging the Gap’ is our commitment to tackling this. Our strategy is focused on expanding our reach, improving access to funding, and building stronger community networks so that more families can secure the vital treatments and support they need sooner. We are determined to make sure that no family is left behind.

Why Join Us

At Tree of Hope, we believe that every family should have equal access to the healthcare they need. To make that happen, we have built a team that is guided by our values of Respect, Dedication, Integrity, Compassion, and Collaboration. These values shape everything we do, from how we support families to how we work together as a team.

We believe that great work should be celebrated. Through our Kudos platform, team members recognise and appreciate each other's contributions every day. Our Annual Staff Awards go even further, shining a light on everyone’s contribution over the year. We also make time to connect and reflect with regular team meetings, socials, and two Away Days each year, opportunities to share ideas, strengthen relationships, and plan for the future.

Your wellbeing matters to us. We are committed to creating a supportive and caring work environment. That is why we actively use Wellness Action Plans, an Employee Assistance Programme, and a Healthcare Plan through the Hospital Saturday Fund. We also invest in your growth, offering a training and development budget to help you thrive and develop in your role.

At Tree of Hope, you will be part of a team that genuinely cares, celebrates success, and works together to make sure that no child or young person is left without the support they need.

Whether you have experience in family support, health and social care, disability services, or a related field, we welcome applications from those committed to making a difference.
