Our Culture
ADUK is committed to fostering a welcoming, supportive and collaborative culture among staff, volunteers, and networks. We value trust, balance, and outcomes, focusing on what needs to be achieved. This gives our team the autonomy to manage their time responsibly while meeting the needs of their role and the organisation.
Our working week of 35 hours is mainly worked during the hours of 8:00am – 6:00pm Monday to Friday (time off in lieu is accrued for travel/work outside these hours). Within this window, team members can flex their start and finish times. To support collaboration and accessibility, our core hours – the times we encourage everyone to be available on their working days are between 10:00 – 3:00. This approach helps balance work and life, while fostering independence, confidence, and a sustainable working culture.
We encourage a healthy work-life balance, recognising that trust and respect are the foundation of a self-managing team dedicated to achieving the charity's objectives.
ADUK offer:
• A genuinely collaborative and friendly work culture
• Home working
• Learning and development opportunities
• Flexible working
• Generous holiday and sick leave
• Enhanced Maternity/Paternity/Parental Leave
At ADUK, every team member’s ideas and contributions shape the way we work. As a small charity, we all occasionally roll up our sleeves and pitch in - whether that’s helping at large events or supporting colleagues with busy periods.
If you enjoy working with a good degree of autonomy within a supportive team, shaping your own day, and adapting to changing priorities, ADUK could be a great fit for you.
The person who currently leads ADUKs education and training work is moving into an exciting new role within our team. We’re now looking for someone marvellous to take on part of their work, alongside some exciting new initiatives we want to develop.
We’re not looking for a direct replacement - we want someone who will relish the opportunity to shape and grow this role into something truly impactful, supporting our work and strengthening the sector.
While the contract is initially for one year, if successful we would be looking to extend the role beyond that, giving the right candidate the chance to make a lasting difference.
The postholder will play a key role in strengthening knowledge, understanding, and best practice both within the sector and externally with service providers and the public, helping to remove barriers for assistance dog partnerships.
• Internal: Coordinate the learning and development of ADUK member organisations, ensuring access to high-quality resources, training, and support to maintain knowledge sharing and best practice development across the sector.
