**About Us**

The CharityJob story began at the turn of the millennium, when our founding directors, Raya and Steve (who between them have 40 years’ experience in the charity sector), realised how difficult it was for charities to recruit the best people.

So CharityJob was born with a single mission - offering charities across the UK a specialist job board to help them connect with the very best the sector has to offer.
