Work At Avenues
Join our fantastic team in West London
The Avenues welcomes applicants from all backgrounds, and we are keen to ensure our team reflects the diversity of London and the young people we work with. We are dedicated to diversity and inclusion within our own organisation at all levels and strive to provide equal opportunities to all people.
We have a ‘Recruitment and Selection’ policy to help us ensure that our recruitment processes are conducted in a fair and inclusive manner. We encourage applications from under-represented groups to help us deliver our vision of an exciting and effective youth service.
The Avenues is an accredited London Living Wage employer. We commit to meeting or exceeding the Living Wage pay level for all staff aged over 18.
This year it is set at £11.95 an hour, significantly higher than the government’s national living wage of £9.50 an hour (previously known as national minimum wage).
This is not only the right thing to do and in line with our values, but we hope this strengthens our reputation as a socially responsible employer.
All our youth workers on Level 2 or above earn well above the Living Wage. We treat youth work as a serious profession and operate a payscale for our youth workers that incentivises them to continually learn and improve their skills. Those with higher youth work qualifications earn more, and (subject to funding) we provide free training to all our staff to develop their careers.
