About Walsingham Support
We are an organisation that aspires to be the employer of choice in the social care sector and want to surround our people with values that enable them to lead truly fulfilled lives.
* SENSE OF PURPOSE: Many people find working for a charity to be more personally fulfilling because they contribute to a cause or mission that aligns with their values. The sense of purpose derived from making a positive impact on society can be a powerful motivator.
* SOCIAL IMPACT: Charities typically focus on addressing social issues, whether it's healthcare, education, poverty, or the environment. Working for a charity allows employees to be part of efforts to create positive social change and improve the lives of others.
* DIVERSE AND INCLUSIVE ENVIRONMENT: Charities often have a strong commitment to diversity and inclusion, reflecting the diverse communities they serve. Employees may find themselves working alongside people with varied backgrounds and perspectives.
* SKILL DEVELOPMENT: Working for a charity may provide opportunities for employees to develop a wide range of skills. With limited resources, employees often take on multiple roles and responsibilities, allowing for skill diversification and professional growth.
* COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT: Charities are usually deeply connected to the communities they serve. Employees may have the chance to engage directly with beneficiaries, volunteers, and community partners, fostering a strong sense of community and interconnectedness.
* FLEXIBILITY AND PASSION-DRIVEN WORK: Some charities offer a more flexible work environment, recognising the passion and commitment of their employees, leading to increased job satisfaction and work‑life balance.
* POSITIVE WORKPLACE CULTURE: Charities often foster a positive and collaborative workplace culture where employees share a common goal and work together to achieve it. This sense of camaraderie can contribute to a supportive and encouraging work environment.
* YOU ARE NOT MAKING MONEY FOR A BOARD OF DIRECTORS: At Walsingham, any surplus funds generated by the charity goes back into the care of the service users, not pay bonuses to directors.
* JOB STABILITY: Charities are less likely to take risks when expanding and rarely suffer financially compared to for‑profit companies. Many non‑profit organisations do not have private owners, issue stock or pay dividends as rewards.
