Interested in working for us and want to know what it's like? We asked some of our colleagues to share their experiences.
Luke Evason-Browning is a Policy and Communications Coordinator at the Anti-Bullying Alliance. He joined NCB in June 2021, having previously worked for the Richmond Community Drug and Alcohol Service. When he's not working, he can more than likely be found climbing somewhere – be that at his local indoor climbing gym, or a Cornish quarry.
I was attracted to working at NCB by its mission of building a better childhood for every child – with a specific interest in the work of my team, the Anti-Bullying Alliance.
In my day-to-day work, I am very excited by opportunities that NCB offers to grow. Due to the number of teams in NCB with different focuses – ranging from the Council for Disabled Children to the Childhood Bereavement Network – there are always chances for shared knowledge and learning.
I am currently the co-chair for the NCB Staff Disability & Neurodiversity Network – a network which the organisation fully supports. I have verbal dyspraxia and only have good things to say about working at NCB as someone who identifies as neurodivergent. I initially did not disclose my verbal dyspraxia when applying out of concern it would hinder me professionally – but have since made my disclosure on account of how supported I feel in the workplace.
I recently moved upwards in my team from the role of Project Assistant to Policy & Communications Coordinator – something that would not have been possible without my wonderful team purposefully upskilling me and encouraging my career development.
