COMMUNITY LINKS (LONDON)
Company Description
Community Links is a community charity, rooted in East London, providing support and opportunities to thousands of people every year. We have been transforming lives for over 40 years and are founded on two principles: to find new solutions to old problems and to deliver them with the whole community.
We transform lives by our vision of ‘Ready for Everything Communities’ which enable people to support each other to overcome problems, prevent them from occurring again and to help each other to thrive and achieve their goals.
At Community Links we recognise the value of all our staff. Our permanent staff, our sessional workers and our volunteers. It is this diversity of resource that contributes the right range of expertise to our operations, and at the same time provides flexible working for those who want it. We also agree to pay on or above the London Living Wage.
