Work with us

At Spectra, we do meaningful work alongside LGBTQIA+ communities and others facing health and social inequalities. For us, that starts with making sure our own team feels supported and valued.

Inclusion matters here

We want our team to reflect the communities we work with. Lived experience, community knowledge and non-traditional career paths are valued at Spectra.

We particularly encourage applications from LGBTQIA+ people, people from racially minoritised communities, disabled people, people living with HIV, and people with lived experience related to our services.

What to expect

We aim to make our recruitment process as clear, fair and straightforward as possible. Most roles follow this process:

  • Application
  • Shortlisting against the role criteria
  • Interview and/or a practical task

We’ll share interview questions or tasks in advance wherever possible.

Need an adjustment to apply?

We're happy to discuss reasonable adjustments at any stage of the process, including alternative formats, additional time or different interview arrangements. We also welcome feedback on the accessibility of our recruitment process and encourage you to contact us if you encounter any barriers when applying.
