Not familiar with the term working class?
No problem, lots of people aren't. It means different things to different people but for us at RECLAIM being working-class is characterised by a few key factors:
-
You're on, or grew up on, a low income with limited access to wealth.
-
You don't have many family connections to people with well paid, professional or powerful jobs.
-
You find it harder to 'fit in' in middle-class spaces, interests and conversations.
-
You're proud of your background and want people to see it as a strength, not a weakness
While working-class people have many of these things in common, we're a diverse bunch too. Working-class people are white, black and brown, LGBT+, disabled, recent migrants or refugees or from families who can trace their roots in the UK back generations, of various religions or none, women, men and non-binary. We're many things but we share the experience of growing up facing those four factors above.
At RECLAIM we don't mind if people publicly identify as working-class or not, that's completely up to them.
You don’t need to be working-class to do this role or work at RECLAIM. Our work has always involved brilliant working-class allies. We do, though, especially encourage applications from people with direct experience of being marginalised by class and/or some other factor as we work to ensure our staff team is diverse as the young people we are here to support.
To apply:
Please send a CV and cover letter outlining how you meet the person specification via Charity Job application link.
The closing date for applications is Sunday 7th July 2024 at 10pm.
