We are a small team of 13, based in Leeds. We know that our people are our greatest asset and our Board is committed to developing our staff. You’ll get lots of support, flexibility, training, and a wide variety of work. Plus you will be working every day with charities and community groups who really make a difference to people’s lives.

You:
