It depends on the particular role that you’re interested in. Our mission and core values here at World Vision compel us to apply a Christian approach to our work. Many positions therefore have a legal ‘occupational requirement’ that the post-holder must be a Christian. Each position is assessed individually to determine whether there is an ‘occupational requirement’ for a Christian faith.

We are, however, a very broad church and as long as applicants for these positions are practicing Christians and will bring a Christian heart and mind to the role it doesn’t matter what creed or church tradition they are part of.

If there is no ‘occupational requirement’ to appoint a Christian, questions about faith and church connections will not be asked at interview. We will, of course, ask questions designed to ensure that applicants would be able to work with our values and fit well with our culture.

We don’t currently offer a graduate training programme, although from time to time we are able to provide internships when there is a good fit between the area of interest of the applicant and our work.

World Vision employs over 31,000 people working in 100 countries. In the UK, we employ around 200 people.

Yes! We have a real diversity here at World Vision in terms of our backgrounds, with some people coming from the commercial sector, some from other charities and others from the broader public sector. We’re all able to contribute different things!

Have a look at the section of our website which features individuals who have moved from another sector – they describe their backgrounds and also their impressions on joining World Vision!

Most of us are based in Milton Keynes, although we do have a small office in London near Victoria tube station for staff who need to be close to Parliament, media or peer NGOs. We encourage flexibility in working location where the role lends itself to this, and several of us work from home on occasions.

We’ve outlined a summary of the key financial benefits of working with World Vision, and you can see this in the Our benefits section of the website. While we recognise that we all need to pay the bills, many of us would describe the non-financial benefits of our work as just as or more important. We know too that this is one of the key reasons people choose to join us at World Vision, and why we choose to stay.

There are many different routes into the international development sector, all of which incorporate gaining relevant education and experience to equip you for the challenges you’ll face in our type of work. Some of our staff gained transferable skills through paid and/or voluntary work and then switched to the sector. Others worked overseas or with other types of charity before coming to World Vision.

Here at World Vision some of us are locals, having lived in the Milton Keynes area almost since the roundabouts and concrete cows were created! Many others have relocated, either from within the UK or internationally. And some live in London, Oxford, Northampton and other surrounding areas.

Milton Keynes has much to offer in terms of great infrastructure (being just off the M1), good train links to London and Birmingham, great cycle paths, extensive shopping, sporting venues, and much, much more. Staff in different personal and family situations find different things to love and hate about Milton Keynes!

The majority are based in our Milton Keynes office, with a smaller presence in our London office, which is very close to Victoria tube station.

World Vision is a global Partnership with a presence in over 100 countries around the globe. Many of us are, therefore, involved in international travel on a frequent basis as we work collaboratively with colleagues around the world. The extent of travel depends on the particular job.

We are mindful of both the financial and environmental costs of travel, and are, therefore, making more and more use of new technologies and tools which enable us to minimise travel.

All of our advertised positions are salaried opportunities. We don’t have many opportunities for volunteering, but we do have a small number of volunteers who help us in our Milton Keynes office and contribute to what we’re able to achieve. In terms of salary, we don’t aim to compete with the private sector. We do, however, compare ourselves with other large charities with similar levels of income to us.

Those who move to World Vision bringing experience from the commercial sector may, therefore, be looking at a reduction in salary. Many of our staff who have done this would tell you that the other non-financial benefits of working with World Vision more than make up for this financial sacrifice!
