Why join us?

We offer a salary of £42,310.80 per year - for 35 hours per week, 26 days annual leave (rising annually to 31 days) plus Bank Holidays. We have a flexible approach to work so living in Yorkshire isn’t a requirement of the role (although we’ll expect to see a fair bit of you here!). There will be times when you’ll be delivering and facilitating workshops which start at 09:00, so you’ll need to make sure you can be in Leeds with enough time to prep for the day ahead.

We offer a reward package to suit everyone. At YH, you can claim back for prescriptions, eye tests and more with our cash plan, make the most of a variety of retail discounts and take advantage of our pension scheme where we’ll match your contributions up to 9%, just to name a few.
