About the Citizens UK and Living Wage Foundation
The Living Wage Foundation (LWF) was launched in 2011 to tackle in-work poverty. We encourage and celebrate employers that pay the real Living Wage- calculated according to the cost of living - through an accreditation programme. We have additional schemes which address other aspects of in-work poverty, such as insecure contracts and pensions. We also run local and national campaigns to promote the Living Wage in different sectors and regions. There is more information on our website: What do we do?
The Living Wage Foundation is one of several projects run by charity Citizens UK - the home of community organising. Citizens UK train and coordinate civil society leaders to work on the issues that matter to them.

At Citizens UK, we use Applied, an applicant-tracking recruitment system. Applied aims to overcome unconscious bias in recruiting. The responses are anonymised and reviewed by the panel. The Applied platform also asks some demographic questions before you start your application.

Applied aims to give an equal chance to be hired irrespective of background. Candidates can opt out of answering the demographic questions.
We welcome applicants from different backgrounds and will do our best to meet reasonable adjustments and access needs for disabilities during and after the recruitment process.
Applicants must have the right to work in the UK as Citizens UK is unable to sponsor visa applications. Our community organisers work in the community and their employment is subject to satisfactory standard/enhanced DBS checks.
For questions and reasonable adjustments regarding your application including information in a different format, or our recruitment process, please contact us.
