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.

If you have questions or would like an informal conversation about the role, please contact us through our website.

First interviews (online) are scheduled to take place on Wednesday 10th July 2024.

We reserve the right to close this vacancy early if we receive sufficient applications for the role.

Unfortunately due to being a very small team, we are unable to notify or offer feedback to unsuccessful applicants in the initial stages. If you have not heard from us by Tuesday 9th July then it is likely that your application has been unsuccessful. We thank you for your interest in working for RECLAIM.

As a Recruitment Coordinator, you'll support the wider Recruitment team in providing a first-class recruitment service to both hiring managers and candidates.

We value and respect every individual’s unique contribution, celebrate diversity, and make inclusion part of what we do every day.
