How to apply
To complete your application, you’ll be asked to upload your CV and complete the supporting information section through our application portal. Please complete both sections following the prompts on screen. Both have an 8,000-character limit. You may wish to use a method such as the ‘STAR’ technique or similar. When completing the statements, please ensure you clearly provide a full and relevant example of how the criteria apply, as we use these examples to shortlist applications.
We do not use AI to shortlist applications. They are all read by a combination of the hiring manager, interview panel and our recruitment team.
We really want to hear about you and your experiences in your own voice. You may choose to use AI tools to assist you in writing your application. But we want to hear the real you, so make sure that shines through and your answers sound like you wrote them.
We understand that some disabilities and learning differences make writing more challenging, so please use the tools that help you to do your best. If you need any advice or support, or have questions about reasonable adjustments please email us: [email protected]
How and where we work
Our hybrid working approach is based on guiding principles, combining choice around where you work effectively most of the time with clear expectations on connection time, which is usually at our London Bridge office (SE1 2QN).
We are all expected to be in the office four days a month (pro-rata for part time colleagues) to work with and alongside colleagues in our immediate team and beyond to build connections and strong working relationships. We value that face-to-face time for relationships, projects and decisions. We trust our colleagues to work in this way, with the flexibility to juggle personal commitments with work. We aim to balance the needs of individuals, teams and the charity.
We are committed to creating an inclusive workplace, and we will make reasonable adjustments for colleagues with a disability, neurodiversity, or a long-term physical or mental health condition.
There will be some additional in-person attendance for training and induction in your first few months to enable you to get to know your new role and colleagues. Where we can accommodate it, we also invite our staff to work flexibly. You can vary your location, working hours and days to help you achieve your best performance and a good work/life balance.
Our core working hours are 10am to 4pm Monday to Friday, unless otherwise agreed.
Equality, diversity and inclusion
Our ambition is to build teams that reflect the communities we work with to reduce health inequalities, and to grow sustainable partnerships that drive change, ensuring no man is left behind.
Our commitment to equality, diversity, inclusion and allyship

These include a book club, netball, football and soft ball teams, who play against other charity staff teams. The social squad arrange a variety of social events, including picnics, parties and trips to the pub. We aim to offer different social activities that aren’t always centred around alcohol.
