Working Options in Education

Who we are

At Working Options, we help young people to transform their career and life chances, and our ambition is to support everyone aged 14-19 in the UK.

With our network of volunteers and partners, our growing team delivers activities that help young people create a positive future for themselves.

Our culture and values

Our talented team and experienced and connected trustees are dedicated to making a difference. Our organisation is all about:

INCLUSIVITY
We believe in supporting everyone to achieve, regardless of background, and in delivering targeted work in communities with fewer opportunities.

HIGH EXPECTATIONS
We have high expectations for everyone we work with, and about what young people can achieve.

LISTENING
Our Advisory Boards of students, volunteers, and teachers help us to come up with new ideas to ensure we remain relevant.

TRYING NEW THINGS
Being a small team means there is plenty of opportunity to trial new ideas and think creatively.

REAL OPPORTUNITIES
We offer young people inspiration and tangible chances to grab hold of.

BEING AMBITIOUS
Having big ambitions is liberating, and empowering.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

Everyone is welcome to apply for our roles, and we are determined to ensure that no applicant or employee receives less favourable treatment because of gender race, disability, sexual orientation, religion, belief, age, marital status, background, pregnancy, or caring responsibilities. We recognise the importance of diversity of thought and are fully committed to embracing the talents of people who are autistic, dyslexic, ADHD, and/or neurodivergent in other ways.
