FAQs and how to contact us

Age UK supports and assists a network of more than 170 local Age UKs throughout England. Each Age UK is an independent charity and together we work in a strong partnership to actively promote the wellbeing of people in later life. If you would like to know what opportunities there are to work for your local Age UK, please visit the vacancies page on their independent websites.

Please send all volunteering applications to volunteering@ageuk.org.uk.

We are currently reviewing both of these schemes. Please keep an eye on this section for future updates.

Unfortunately, we are unable to accept speculative CVs and applications. You can however set up future job alerts and we will contact you when a role comes up that you would like to know about. Please visit our 'Login' page where you can create a candidate account with us and set this up.

We review all applications after the closing date of each role and will contact every candidate between 7 – 10 working days following this date to let them know the outcome of their application.

As we have so many diverse roles here at Age UK, each interview will be different and therefore the structure of your interview will be specified in your confirmation email from us.

Due to the large number of applications we receive for our roles, we are unable to provide feedback at shortlisting stage. If you have been invited to an interview with us, please request that you would like feedback at the end of this. The Recruitment team will then ensure you're given feedback when we deliver the outcome of your interview.

If you experience any technical issues when on our Careers site, please contact the Recruitment team on recruitment@ageuk.org.uk
