We’re delighted to have Marina Deeny, the Director of People at Via, come to meet with our members to discuss the variety of roles the charity is recruiting for.

​Our members tell us they are looking for jobs which give them a chance to do something which gives them a sense of purpose and, by coming to this meeting, you’ll get to hear about the variety of roles and ways in which VIA helps its clients.

​The reason we were keen to invite Via in is for the following reasons:

• ​They’ve signed up to the Centre for Ageing Better pledge – meaning they are happy and will welcome applications from our demographic.
• ​They offer a high degree of job flexibility.
• ​Their salaries are upper quartile for the charity sector – ranging from £28,000 - £32,000
• ​Training will be provided IF you have the right values and are the right person so this is a genuine chance to move into something new, to learn something different whilst making a meaningful difference to peoples lives.
• ​People who work at VIA get a range of other benefits from time off for birthdays to a workplace culture which is supportive and friendly.  Most people working here are choosing to do so and that shows.

​ Through the discussion you’ll learn about:

• ​The application process
• ​The type of person they are looking for
• ​The variety of roles on offer – for some roles specific qualifications are needed, so we’ll be clear which ones are more appropriate for those transitioning into the sector
• ​The organisation and how they help
• ​What others value about working there
