Charityworks is a professional development programme run by a partnership of charities, and is carefully designed to find and grow the future leaders of charitable organisations. The only scheme of its kind in the sector to serve more than one organisation, it offers a unique opportunity for graduates to gain experience and build networks across the charity sector.

The benefits of the Charityworks programme for 'Graduate Trainees' include:
• A full time salary of £15,000 for 12 months
• An opportunity to work in at least one leading charitable organisation (to see a list of partners click here http://charity-works.co.uk/about_charity_works.html)
• A professional development programme, accredited by the Institute of Leadership and Management
• The skills to equip you to work at first level management across the charity sector
• Knowledge of the charity environment – political context, operational management, campaigning and communication
• The opportunity to learn with other trainees working across the public and private sectors
• An excellent support structure through mentoring and supervision
• Peer to peer networking

After the first two years of the scheme, 100% of the Graduate Trainees were offered jobs in the organisations with whom they had undertaken a placement, all in a position above entry level.
