Are you ready to be part of something extraordinary?

That’s what we do at Groundwork. We are changing places and changing lives – every day.
But we can’t do it alone. We need passionate individuals who share our values and our commitment to positive change. We are committed to diversity and we also believe that people with lived experience of the challenges facing the communities we serve are part of the solution. So, whether you’re just starting out in your career, or looking to take your next step, we want to hear from you.
Join our growing team, where collaboration, learning, and personal growth are not just encouraged – they’re celebrated. With excellent working conditions and an inclusive and supportive environment, Groundwork is more than a job; it’s a journey of development, discovery and impact.
