Work for us
Working for the Jack Petchey Foundation isn’t quite the same as just ‘having a job’.
The Jack Petchey Foundation is a youth-focused grant maker located near Canary Wharf in the heart of London’s Docklands. Young people are at the centre of everything we do, and our values underpin our day-to-day work. The work we do really does make a difference in young people’s lives across London and Essex.
We have a dedicated, friendly workforce and enjoy a light, modern office with a spacious garden, fully equipped kitchen and table football and table tennis facilities!
We are committed to ensuring our staff have a good work-life balance and offer all our employees a comprehensive package of benefits, including a pension scheme, life insurance, childcare vouchers, private healthcare insurance with reduced cost gym membership and a cycle-to-work scheme.
