Caritas Diocese of Salford

Who we are

Caritas Diocese of Salford is the principal social action agency of the Catholic Diocese.  Our mission is to put Love Into Action.

We help those across Greater Manchester and Lancashire experiencing poverty, disadvantage and discrimination to transform their lives with dignity.  We provide a practical response to those in crisis, suffering hardship or who are at risk.  We rebuild lives for the long-term, enabling people to live in a safe, healthy and secure environment. 

We call for a better, more just world, where the voices of the poor are heard and acted upon and positively influence the systems, decisions and resources that affect those in need.

Our culture and values

Respect: valuing the worth of people; colleagues, volunteers and those we serve

Integrity: honesty, truthfulness, straightforwardness and forth rightfulness

Ambition: positive desire to achieve things for the common good

Collaboration: exploring opportunities for partnership and mutual cooperation, while remaining faithful to our core mission.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

As a Catholic charity, we seek to respect, protect and promote human dignity for all.  This is fundamental to our work.

Therefore, as part of our team you’ll need to appreciate and be respectful of the diversity of our staff, volunteers, supporters and the people who use our services.  You’ll be expected to model behaviours and represent the principles, ethos and values of Caritas Diocese of Salford (‘Caritas’) in all aspects of your work. 

You’ll also be expected to contribute positively to creating healthy, hospitable and welcoming workplaces and environments.
