NCS The Challenge
About us
The Challenge is looking for mission driven, highly competent individuals to join their rapidly growing team working on the National Citizen Service programme.
The Challenge's vision is a more integrated society where there is understanding and appreciation of each other's differences. We design and deliver programmes that bring different people together to develop their confidence and skills in understanding and connecting with others. We believe everyone benefits when people from all walks of life come together to better know, understand and trust each other. This also applies to the people we employ to work with us. As an equal opportunities employer our aim is to have a diverse workforce to reflect the communities we work in.
NCS is a three-part programme for 15-17 year olds. It's perfect for boosting CV experience, personal statements, and UCAS forms. It's also an unforgettable experience which builds confidence and independence. We run the programme during summer, autumn half term, and autumn term time.
