About Fat Beehive
We are a small team of about 30 who, when not working from home, work in relaxed, informal offices in a converted warehouse in Borough (London) and Ancoats (Manchester). There is often cake. There is often music playing. We don’t have a ping pong table, table football or an office dog (although we do borrowmydoggy and get regular visitors!).
Fat Beehive is dedicated to providing a friendly, relaxed, safe, fulfilling and fair work environment – see what it’s like. We want to create an environment where people want to come to work – one that engages them to give their best.
We’ve all chosen to work in the charity design sector because we want to help bring about positive social change – and we know that starts with us as individuals. We’re always challenging ourselves to work in a way that puts awareness of power, diversity and inclusivity at its heart.
We don’t work for oil, mining, arms, banking and sweatshops. But we do work for charities that challenge these and more. Come join us.
Recruitment Process
Getting the right person for this role is really important to us. You will get to work with the wider team so we feel it’s important that you get to meet them and get to know them, and vice versa.
Therefore the recruitment process will be as follows:
- Apply through the form on our website, attaching a copy of your CV
- Hold an initial call with our Chief of Staff so we can learn more about your experience
- Online meeting with your direct team.
We especially encourage applications from women, disabled people from racialised minority backgrounds, as these groups are underrepresented throughout the technology industry.
At any point of the process, if there are any reasonable adjustments that you need to help us ensure that our recruitment process is fair and inclusive, just let us know.
