At SOS-UK, our staff team is currently under-representative of people of colour, LGBTQIA+ people and disabled people. We strive to ensure we are representative and inclusive, so we particularly encourage you to apply if you represent these characteristics. We have an opt-in guaranteed interview scheme for candidates who declare a disability and/or are a person of colour and meet the essential criteria of the role profile.
We are always happy to speak to candidates informally about the role before applying and encourage you to do so.
We provide Liberation groups for staff with protected characteristics.
On our job applications, we do not ask as standard whether applicants have any spot or unspent convictions (under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974). Applicants will still be requested to complete a DBS check if the role requires one.
Wellbeing and work-life balance
SOS-UK adopts an open and flexible approach to working arrangements, with many of the current team opting to be home-based, with those that prefer the location and environment of an office space able to work in one of NUS' offices around the UK.
To further support positive work-life balance, all staff are offered a generous holiday and leave allowance as described above. Additionally, whilst working overtime is not encouraged for staff wellbeing, in cases where this is necessary a time-off-in-lieu (TOIL) policy is in place.
SOS-UK has a mental health working group and designated mental health first aiders who act as the first point of contact for staff who need support with their mental health.
Should you have family/caring responsibilities, we have a whole package of family-friendly policies that provide for flexible working; additional paid maternity and paternity leave; childcare pay; and leave for family emergencies.
