Why work at Oxfam?

Every person is important and deserves to live a life of dignity. That includes our staff. That includes you.

We're committed to offering equal opportunities for everyone, regardless of background. We particularly encourage applications from Black, Asian and minority ethnic people, people with disabilities, people from low-income backgrounds, and people from the LGBT+ community. We strive to make our workplace one where all our employees and volunteers feel respected, included, and supported and acknowledge the under-representation of people from certain backgrounds, both within our organisation and across the sector.

We celebrate diversity and lived experience because we understand that different perspectives and influences make our organisation more effective.

We offer flexible working hours and many of our roles can be home-based some or all of the time.

We also support employees with external learning opportunities through study leave, and financial support may be offered to individuals who are studying for professional qualifications.
