Careers

Join our fantastic team

At Tender, we embody the qualities we seek to promote. Our team is creative, caring and passionate about supporting children, young people and adults to build healthy relationships.

We are always on the lookout for enthusiastic, kind and hardworking people from all backgrounds to join our team.

We encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet all the criteria (particularly the ‘desirable’ criteria), as we will provide an onboarding and training process to ensure you are supported to develop the skills you need for the role.

Equal opportunities

We aim to remove any barriers, bias or discrimination that prevent individuals or groups from realising their potential and contributing fully to Tender’s performance and to develop a culture that positively values diversity. We are committed to achieving and maintaining a workforce that broadly reflects the local communities in which we operate.

We welcome applications from people from all backgrounds and with all different kinds of life experiences, including those who have had breaks in their careers for any reason. We encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet all the criteria (particularly the “desirable” criteria), as we will provide an onboarding and training process to ensure you are supported to develop the skills you need for the role.

We particularly welcome applications from male-identifying candidates and candidates from a Black, Asian or other minority ethnic background as they are currently under-represented within Tender. We have made a positive commitment to employ disabled people and guarantee to interview all disabled candidates who meet the minimum essential criteria for the role as set out in the role profile and person specification. If you wish you apply for consideration under the guaranteed interview scheme, please note this in your supporting statement.

We ask applicants to complete an equal opportunities monitoring form. This is voluntary, but the information we ask for goes towards helping us ensure we are an inclusive employer by monitoring diversity in the workplace. This form will not be seen by anyone involved in reviewing applications or interviewing candidates. We will only use your information for the purposes specified on the form and detailed in our Privacy Notice.

Our roles are open to discussion about flexible working, which would include arrangements such as part-time working, formalised flexi time, fixed working hours, working from home and job-sharing subject to business needs.

When applying to work with Tender, please let us know if you require any adjustments to be made to the shortlisting process or to provide any information you wish us to take into account when considering your application. If you are selected for interview, we will ask you to let us know if you have any access needs or may require reasonable adjustments to the interview or assessment at that stage. Please be assured we will be supportive in discussing reasonable adjustments with you at any stage of the recruitment and selection process and, should you be appointed, as part of your employment with us.

Volunteer

We don’t currently have volunteering opportunities at Tender, but there are a wide range of ways you can get involved!

Fundraising is a fun and creative way to help Tender. Whether you’re running a marathon or staging a performance, the funds you raise will help to end domestic abuse and sexual violence in the lives of children and young people.
