Applications for Charityworks Fast-Track 2020 are now closed.
Owing to the diversity of opportunities available through Charityworks, we now welcome both graduates (any classification) and non-graduates to apply. This means you don’t require a specific qualification in order to apply to Charityworks.
No specific experience is required but you must have an interest in or desire to learn more about working in the non-profit sector and be interested in seeking to obtain a placement on the Charityworks Programme starting from September 2021.
You must be from a Black, Asian or Minority ethnic background (BAME) including mixed backgrounds.
Ability to competently use basic IT software packages (e.g. Microsoft Office or equivalent), which may include any adaptations/adjustments as required.
In order to participate in the Charityworks Fast-Track, you must have the right to work in the UK.
Due to the fact that we partner with a range of organisations to gain experience in a vast number of varied roles, it is not possible to provide a detailed job description that applies to all positions at this stage. We will be looking for candidates that are motivated by an opportunity to explore the non-profit sector as a career path and in particular, are committed to their own personal development.
There are 8 core competencies which we believe enable you to succeed in the sector, and by which we assess applicants to our Charityworks Programme. We’ll look for these competencies during your time on the Fast Track should you wish to be fast-tracked to our graduate scheme.
Now please read through our FAQs below:
I want to be considered for the main Charityworks programme starting in September 2021. Do I need to apply to this separately?
No – by applying to the Charityworks Fast Track you have the opportunity to automatically opt into the Charityworks programme recruitment process for 2021. If you are successful on the Fast Track you will automatically be selected to participate in a Charityworks assessment centre in May & June 2021.
Why does this programme exist?
Charityworks actively seeks and encourages applications from candidates from diverse backgrounds. More specifically, our equal opportunities and diversity monitoring has indicated that the programme currently marginally under-represents minority ethnic groups and so we actively encourage applications from eligible candidates from a BAME background. This is just one approach to that active encouragement as set out in our diversity statement which you can find by clicking here.

Koreo (Charityworks) may also need to process data from participants to respond to and defend against legal claims.
Where Koreo (Charityworks) processes other special categories of data, such as information about ethnic origin, sexual orientation, or religion or belief, this is for equal opportunities monitoring purposes.
Who has access to data?
Your data will be shared with colleagues within Koreo (Charityworks) where it is necessary for them to undertake their duties. This includes, for example, those involved in the selection of participants for programmes, delivery of training and development, arranging events and IT staff.
Koreo (Charityworks) shares your data with third parties for the provision of training and development including trainers, mentors, coaches and any certification body e.g. Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM).
Koreo (Charityworks) may share your data with your employer/placement organisation in order to appraise them of your attendance and performance on the programme.

Koreo (Charityworks) endeavours to ensure specific contractual agreements are in place with any third parties who undertake this processing in order to protect your data. This is explained in more detail below.
Automated decision-making
Programme participation processes are not based solely on automated decision-making.
We will tell you beforehand if we use any automated forms of assessment in our decision making processes. You have the right to request that your participation is not assessed by automated processes.
How does Koreo (Charityworks) protect data?
Koreo (Charityworks) takes the security of your data seriously. We maintain internal policies and controls that are designed to ensure that your data is not lost, accidentally destroyed, misused or disclosed, and is not accessed except by our employees or associates engaged by Koreo (Charityworks) in the proper performance of their duties.

For how long does Koreo (Charityworks) keep data?
In line with data protection principles, we will only keep your data for as long as we need it.
In some cases, we will keep your data for a period after your participation has ended. Retention periods can vary depending on why we need your data. This may be determined by law. Koreo (Charityworks) will hold your data on file for 12 months after the end of the relevant programme.
What if you do not provide personal data?
One of the reasons for processing your data is to allow Koreo (Charityworks) to facilitate your development. Whilst you are under no statutory or contractual obligation to provide data to Koreo (Charityworks) during your participation on the programme, if you do not provide the information, we may not be able to provide you with the development opportunity.
Your rights
As a data subject, you have a number of rights under current and new data protection legislation. In summary, these are:
Where you have provided consent to our use of your data, you also have the unrestricted right to withdraw that consent at any time. There will be no consequences for withdrawing your consent. Withdrawing your consent means that we will stop processing the data that you had previously given us consent to use, however we may continue to process your data if we have a statutory reason or lawful basis for doing so.
If you would like to exercise any of these rights, you may do so by contacting Koreo’s Data Protection Officer using the details at the top of the notice.
If you believe that Koreo (Charityworks) has not complied with your data protection rights, you can complain to the Information Commissioner. You can find more information about doing so at https://ico.org.uk/concerns/
