Pros

Fantastic cause, lovely colleagues, genuine interest in well-being of staff (not just lip service). Everyone is encouraged to speak up and make their voice heard. Decent salary benchmarking for the sector. Welcoming and warm.

Cons

A bit of a long-hours culture though TOIL is given and efforts being made to tackle this. Internal politics and historic challenges common in all charities amplified here by virtue of being part of an international org which doesn't always work in harmony!

Pros

The culture at Make-A-Wish UK is unlike anywhere else I've worked. Every day, you're surrounded by colleagues who are genuinely passionate about making a difference. Whether you're in wish granting, fundraising, corporate, or Volunteering, everyone understands they're contributing to something much bigger than themselves

Cons

One area that could benefit from improvement is inter-team communication. While individual teams work incredibly well together, there can sometimes be gaps in communication between departments, which occasionally leads to duplicated efforts or missed opportunities for collaboration on wishes or fundraising initiatives.
