Applications are now open! You can now complete your application to join the team here.  All applications should be submitted by 23:59pm local time on 31st January to be considered.

The Charity Week Board of Advisors, International Directors, and the Islamic Relief national or regional manager of your specific region.

Applications are reviewed from the following angles (in no particular order):

  1. Is someone planning to be part of Charity Week in the long term
  2. The applicants skills to perform the role
  3. The loyalty of the applicant to the vision 
  4. The ability to think a few steps ahead and be proactive
  5. Their availability throughout the year – especially during particularly busy periods
  6. Will giving someone a role creating a gap in the team somewhere else
  7. How many people are applying for a similar role
  8. Would this individual be a good fit with those likely to be in adjacent roles

Not everyone will get their chosen role or any role – and this is understandable given the number of applicants and limited roles available. 

This is not necessarily a reflection on you, but that others may have been more suited for the role from a variety of different angles. 

We hope that unsuccessful applicants will take the situation as an opportunity to improve their skills and contribute to the project (or other campaigns) even if they don’t have an official responsibility. 

If you would like unofficial feedback on your application please email info@charityweek.com
