Working at UKCF

Make a difference and become part of the UKCF team

What is it like to work at UKCF?

UKCF is a flexible-working organisation with staff based across the UK, embedded in the communities we serve, stretching around the nation.

Each member of the team can be fully home based, work from the office of their nearest community foundation or combine the two approaches according to their situation and preference. We make good use of online tools and channels, for both formal meetings and informal catch-ups, to ensure that we all stay in touch and work effectively together.

UKCF is made of a small, friendly and supportive team. We make time to catch up socially as well as to work. We meet in person throughout the year for departmental development and connection. This helps us to build on our strategy and working relationships, and to learn more about the vital projects and programmes our network supports.

Each member of staff has a supported learning journey and is encouraged to take two volunteering days each year to give time to the causes that we are passionate about.
