Current Job Vacancies
Please scroll down for job vacancies at Working Families.
Do follow us on LinkedIn where we will always advertise new job opportunities.
We particularly welcome applications from disabled and ethnic minority candidates as these groups are currently under-represented in our workforce.
We are a Living Wage employer, and we show all salaries when advertising vacancies. We will not ask you about your previous salaries.
We generally use Applied for our recruitment. Applied aims to overcome unconscious bias in recruiting. Instead of using your CV alone, we’ll be asking you to answer questions to test skills needed for the role. The responses are then anonymised, chunked, randomised and reviewed by team members.
The Applied platform also asks some demographic questions before you start your application. We never see the responses to these demographic questions with your application. We only see summary statistics to help us check if our candidate pool is balanced and if everyone has an equal chance to get hired irrespective of their background. If you prefer, you can easily opt out of answering these questions.
