Likewise

Who we are

Likewise is a dynamic social care and mental health charity working at the heart of the Camden community to support individuals experiencing marginalisation and social exclusion.

We exist to create compassionate, human-centred relationships and spaces where people feel valued, accepted, and connected. We support often isolated, marginalised or excluded people by building authentic relationships and community together. Through these connections and our partnerships, we nurture wellbeing and inspire systemic change toward a more human, empathetic, and inclusive health and social care system. 

Our culture and values

Our culture is all about being human together - more human organisations do more human work. We put a lot into having authentic relationships, work hard to support each other’s sense of belonging and love learning together through the work we do. 

Self-managing 
We work in a way that is trust-based and autonomous. We believe in everyone’s intrinsic motivation to do their best work, and to manage themselves in the way that best serves the work we’re doing. Our intention is to delegate as much decision making and leadership to those closest to the task, and want the right people to make the right decisions with as much agility and responsiveness as possible. 

Bring your whole self to work: It’s all welcome. 

Our hope is that every person who joins our community – whether as a staff member, community member, student, volunteer or supporter – can feel safe to be themselves. We don’t believe that you should have to (or even that you can) leave the rest of your life at the door when you arrive at work. So we are committed to creating work spaces and relationships where our whole authentic selves are welcome. 

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

We recognise that respecting and celebrating our humanity – both what we have in common and what makes us unique - will ensure that our services reflect the needs and experiences of all who access Likewise. We are passionate about Likewise becoming a truly equitable, diverse, inclusive workplace and community. It’s also important we name that we’re not where we want to be yet with this, and we are continuing to learn and hold ourselves accountable for making this vision a reality. 

With this in mind, we welcome applications from candidates of any age, gender identity, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, or socioeconomic background, and from those living with physical and/or mental health conditions. We also encourage you to let us know if there is anything you need to help you do your best in this recruitment process – we’re always happy to discuss options.
