Careers at Youth Futures Foundation

Bring your whole self to work

The young people we aim to serve – and the challenges they face – are all unique. We are looking to build a team of individuals with a range of life experiences and views that reflect this diversity. Our commitment to inclusion across race, gender, age, class, religion, identity, and experience is at the heart of everything we do.

Internally, we encourage an open, collaborative and inclusive working environment. We have established an Equalities, Diversity and Inclusion steering committee with team members from across the organisation and headed by a member of the Senior Leadership Team.

Our recruitment process reflects our values

All recruitment to roles at the Youth Futures Foundation is done using a specialist system that conceals the applicant’s identity and focuses on assessing candidates based on key competencies, anonymising applications and distributing the assessment of applications against multiple assessors.
