Access Community Trust is a charity organisation that has been providing support for vulnerable individuals and communities for nearly half a century. This charity has evolved from its initial purpose of offering homeless accommodation to designing and implementing projects and services that offer real opportunities for independence to excluded individuals.

Access Community Trust places a high priority on the wellbeing of its employees, offering a range of supportive measures such as subsidised gym memberships, free health checks for employees over the age of 40, and flexible working hours. The organisation also has trained mental health specialists available to provide support and guidance when needed.

The organisation's commitment to employee engagement is further demonstrated by initiatives such as the introduction of Wellness Action Plans to encourage open conversation about mental wellbeing. It also offers one-month sabbaticals for team members who have been with the organisation for five years and two paid volunteering days per year for employees to support causes close to their hearts.

Access Community Trust believes in transparent communication and actively encourages feedback from its employees through initiatives like the 'People Culture & Wellbeing' committee, which is made up of current staff members. This committee serves as a two-way communication platform, ensuring all voices within the organisation are heard.

In terms of career development, Access Community Trust offers a range of initiatives, including the 'Continued Professional Development' and 'Grow Your Own' programmes, which provide employees with opportunities to enhance their skills and qualifications.
