Working for a charity can offer a range of unique benefits compared to working for a commercial business.

If it is your first time applying for a job at a charity organisation below are some of the notable differences between us and a commercial, corporate organisation:

Charities often have a strong commitment to diversity and inclusion, reflecting the diverse communities they serve. With limited resources, employees often take on multiple roles and responsibilities, allowing for skill diversification and professional growth.

Community Engagement:
Charities are usually deeply connected to the communities they serve.

Employees may have the chance to engage directly with beneficiaries, volunteers, and community partners, fostering a strong sense of community and interconnectedness.

While this may not be universally true, some charities offer a more flexible work environment, recognising the passion and commitment of their employees.

This can lead to increased job satisfaction and work-life balance.

Positive Workplace Culture:

Charities often foster a positive and collaborative workplace culture where employees share a common goal and work together to achieve it.

At Walsingham, any surplus funds generated by the charity goes back into the care of the service users not pay bonuses to directors.

According to Tori Utley's article for Forbes magazine in 2016, charities are less likely to take risks when expanding, so are less likely to suffer financially compared to companies that focus purely on profit.

Many non-profit organisations do not have private owners, and they do not issue stock or pay dividends as rewards.
