We inspire and enable meaningful connections and shared experiences within communities across the UK for people over 75 facing loneliness or social isolation.

We are proud of our values - positive, innovative, transparent, evidence-based, and accountable - and of our ethos of bringing generations together. These guide our day-to-day work, alongside our commitment to harnessing technology.

Joining our team means making a tangible impact on the lives of older people while enjoying a supportive and inclusive work environment.

We also offer periodic opportunities for regional groups of staff to meet face to face to discuss and feedback on specific operations issues.

How we recruit

Diversity and inclusion are important to us. We want our team of staff to be representative of all sections of society, and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best.

We use the recruitment platform hireful. The application process includes an inbuilt anonymisation feature which removes identifiable personal data from your CV. We also add competency questions to the process which asses your approach to real issues that you would face in this role. Each response is anonymised and reviewed separately by each hiring team member before the total scores are averaged to create a leaderboard of candidates. Using hireful allows us to reduce unconscious bias and subjectivity, and candidates experience a more skills-based recruitment process which helps us to hire the best talent for our roles.
