About The Brokerage
The Brokerage is an award-winning, social mobility charity.

For 27 years we have supported over 87k less-advantaged young people to fulfill their potential through improved awareness and access to professional career opportunities.

Together with our talented young people and top UK companies we are breaking down barriers to a more diverse and talented workforce.

Our mission is twofold - to empower working-class and ethnically diverse young people to recognise their strengths, gain skills, and access opportunities to reach their career potential.

And to change the corporate norm - helping employers to shift their perspective and effectively recruit, develop, and retain this underrepresented talent.

The Team

The Brokerage is a growing organisation, embarking on a renewed journey that will see us work with new sectors and meet more driven and ambitious young people, to connect them with employers in a deeper, meaningful way.

We are an interconnected, diverse, mission-led team that truly lives our values.

As such, we are bold and dynamic in our approach to our work whilst fostering a trust-based environment that provides freedom, flexibility and autonomy.

We take a people-centred approach when it comes to our team, young people and corporate partners and we make decisions and develop programmes that are insight-led.
