About us

At Humankind, we are committed to creating a safe and supportive working environment that enables our staff to thrive.

Experience of working with young people, and managing a caseload of service users is desirable, as is the ability to work with vulnerable individuals with multiple needs.

Knowledge and understanding of safeguarding issues, as well as the ability to implement and monitor risk assessments and maintain confidentiality and professional boundaries is also essential.

By joining our teams of passionate individuals, you will be contributing to making this happen.

You can really make a difference by believing in our service users and their ability to make positive changes when they don't always believe in themselves.

We are incredibly proud of the work that we do to help address health inequalities in England.

Every five minutes, an individual accesses one of our services, and we have supported over 90,000 people across all our services last year.
