What we're looking for
We're on the lookout for brilliant people and know they come from all sorts of places. We don't believe in having hard and fast entry requirements. Some of the things that will help you stand out are:
A deep and longstanding commitment to social impact such as voluntary experience, being a social entrepreneur, or working to improve your University or local community.
Achievements and responsibilities that you're proud to have undertaken alongside your studies. Whether it's running an organisation or university society, cycling to China or being a top class musician
You must also be eligible to work in the UK - unfortunately we are not able to sponsor visas for non-EU students.

Our commitment to diversity
We encourage applications from anyone (even if you don’t have a degree).
We are an inclusive organisation and welcome applications from all persons regardless of their race, gender, disability, religion/belief, sexual orientation or age.
However, as a number of groups are currently under-represented on the scheme, we would particularly encourage applications from students and graduates from black and minority ethnic backgrounds, with a disability, or from a low income family. We would also welcome candidates with a diversity of academic backgrounds, including STEM.
Applications will be considered on merit alone.
As part of our commitment to diversity, we offer application coaching to eligible applicants and can accommodate adjustments in the selection process

How to apply

Step 1
Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 |
Submit an online application. This will help us understand to your experience, what you could bring to a small social impact organisation, and your motivation for applying to the Worthwhile. There is no deadline, and we accept applications year round.
You will hear from us whether or not you have been successful in being selected to attend an interview at Worthwhile. We will be hosting interviews throughout 2018. If you are successful in the interview process we will invite you to be part of our talent pool. The nature of working with small, exciting charities and social enterprises is that we have to match people to placements reactively. This means that gaining a position in the talent pool is not a job offer as such; rather, you will gain access to our exclusive list of placements as they come through, meaning you retain control over which roles you register interest in. If a role comes up that you would like to be considered for, you register interest with us. The organisation will decide whether or not they want to take your application further. If they do, you will be invited to meet them for further assessment. If not, no worries! We’ll keep on sending you the list of placements and supporting you as best we can to find the perfect match. If you are successful in being selected by the host organisation, you will begin working for them full-time from a start date agreed between you and the organisation. If the role is part of the Worthwhile Graduate Scheme, you will have two days of induction training with us and will join the first training day after your start date. |
