Why work with us?
We believe that our people thrive when they are supported and empowered. We’re a fully remote organisation, but just because we don’t have an office or official HQ, that doesn’t mean we’re isolated. We work hard to ensure a positive, flexible, and connected remote working environment. What we’re aiming for is a "high performance, high wellbeing" team.
We are committed to fair work and pay. This means transparent pay scales, incremental spine point rises and regular increases in line with inflation. We’re an accredited living wage employer.

How we work
We are a fully remote organisation, but that doesn’t mean we work in isolation. We’re a highly connected, collaborative team, and everyone is trusted to have autonomy over their diary. While no two days are the same, a typical day might be:
Logging into MS Teams to check in and say hello to colleagues
Reviewing sector news and press to stay up to date
A call with an external partner about a sustainability project
Focus time for deep work before a proper lunch break
A 1:1 with your manager for support and feedback
More focus time for developing a report, toolkit, or campaign
Co-creating a new resource with a colleague
Engaging in MS Teams chats, sharing ideas, and collaborating
Regular breaks throughout the day
Many of our team travel regularly (in line with our sustainable travel policy) to meet members and strategic partners, speak at events and conferences and engage in networks and working groups.
Although we don’t see each other face-to-face often, we prioritise team connection through:
Regular virtual catch-ups and informal team check-ins
"Get to Know You" activities in team meetings
A structured Team Development Framework to support growth
An open and engaged MS Teams culture
Substantial annual leave entitlement with various other leave allowances (carers, parental, dependents, volunteering, medical appointments, religious or belief-related, study leave), as agreed with line managers
Formal and informal flexible working patterns
Generous pension scheme, including sustainable investment options
Enhanced parental leave, with adoption and fertility leave policies in development
Anonymous employee assistance programme for wellbeing support
Mental health first aiders across the team
Income protection scheme in case of long term illness
Flu vaccinations being covered by our expenses policy
LGBTQIA+ and People of Colour staff networks
Whist working overtime is not encouraged for staff wellbeing, in cases where this is necessary time-off-in-lieu (TOIL) is provided
Cycle-to-Work scheme, supporting low-carbon commuting
Homeworking allowance
Work laptop and home-office equipment where needed
Sustainable travel policy, ensuring inclusive, ethical and responsible work travel with expenses in line with the policy reimbursed
A year-round learning and development programme, including funded CPD and mentoring opportunities
Investment in team development, supporting professional growth and leadership development
As part of our commitment to fair work and pay, we do not offer any unpaid/non-credit-bearing placement opportunities or work experience. Occasionally, we offer secondments or short term freelancing contracts. We are currently exploring how we can further build our capacity and live our values by offering returnships and employing apprentices.
Equity, diversity and inclusion
We are committed to ensuring everyone at EAUC feels valued and included, while working in a way that supports both individual and team success.
Inclusion is one of our values, and EDI is central to our mission. We actively challenge inequalities and work to support positive action to repair historical injustices and create a better experience for all.
We recognise that we still have much work to do, and we don’t always get things right. People of colour and disabled people are underrepresented in our organisation. We are working to remove barriers in our recruitment process, offering alternative application formats and anonymising applications at the shortlisting stage to reduce bias.
If you are from a marginalised and/or under-represented group and meet all the essential criteria for a role, you’re able to choose to opt in for a guaranteed interview.
We are always happy to speak to candidates informally about the role before applying and encourage you to do so. If you require adjustments during the application process, we are happy to help.
Key actions
We collect and act on staff feedback to continually improve our approach.
We have introduced Equality Impact Assessments to inform decision-making.
We have a regular learning and development session for the team to explore EDI issues in more detail – recent sessions have included trans and non-binary inclusion, and developing a diversity action plan.
We participate in the Race Report to drive transparency and accountability.
We are members of the Diverse Sustainability Initiative, expanding our networks and working collaborative with other environmental charities to improve diversity and inclusivity in our work.
We’re a Disability Confident Employer.
