JOIN THE SHiFT MOVEMENT: WORK WITH US
Join us in breaking cycles and making a positive change for children and families.
At SHiFT, we value creativity, tenacity and skill. Whether you work in our national team or in a SHiFT Practice, you will find a real sense of purpose and a passion for transforming outcomes for young people caught in cycles of crime and harm. SHiFT is committed to building an anti-racist, anti-oppressive and inclusive organisation.
We recognise the over-representation of Black, Brown and Mixed Heritage children in the youth justice system, and the wider structural inequalities affecting many children and families we work alongside. We believe our team should reflect the diversity of the communities we serve.
We particularly welcome applications from people from racially minoritised communities, Disabled people, LGBTQ+ people, people with lived experience of the systems we work in, and people from lower socio-economic backgrounds. We know talent is widely distributed, while opportunity is not. If you need adjustments at any stage of the recruitment process, please let us know. We are committed to making recruitment accessible and fair.
