By working together, we’ve been really successful at Access. This has helped us to focus on giving back to our local communities and the charitable causes that mean a lot to us.

Over the past three years we’ve raised over £650,000 for our two UK Charities of the Year (DEBRA and the NDCS) and we’re now gearing up to make an equally big difference for our new charity partners around the world… This is where you come in!

We’re looking forward to you helping us to grow how we give back to local communities and charitable causes. This will focus on our Charity of the Year programme, where employees from each of the countries we operate in nominate a charity to support, as well as other programmes to help employees give their time to support local causes close to their heart.

We’re excited to see the experience you’ll bring with you and how you’ll develop our giving back strategy while being happy to ‘roll up your sleeves’ and stimulate fundraising across the company and effectively track, and report on the impact we’re making. We’re also confident that you’ll be excited about the impact you can make by helping to engage employees to focus on supporting good causes along-side their day job.
