Here at the DofE, we believe in potential. We see that there are no limits to what young people can achieve when they put their mind to something.
As a charity, we aim to offer a workplace that develops people personally and professionally, supporting them to build their skills, broaden their experience and progress in their careers. We actively promote workforce wellbeing and encourage staff to bring their whole, authentic selves to work.
We were delighted to receive the Investors in People Award at the Silver level, with the results demonstrating a high level of staff engagement within the charity, and staff feeling that their voices are listened to and stating that they feel valued by the DofE. The result means people and leaders are making active efforts to make sure that there’s real consistency and everyone across the charity is feeling the effects.

I love working within the Charity sector as we are making a positive impact on society and making a difference to young people through the DofE programme. Whilst the work doesn’t include working directly with young people, for me it’s about the bigger picture and making an impact on many young people."Working for the DofE has opened up so many new opportunities for me. I’ve been able to work with young people from across the whole of the UK as part of the Youth Ambassador Programme, helping to inform our decisions so we remain relevant and in touch with young people today."My role as an Operations Officer was varied and gave me an opportunity to connect with a variety of organisations across the city to engage young people in their Award. In addition to my operations role, I’ve been involved in several different working groups relating to young people with additional needs, an area which I’m particularly passionate about."
