Work with us
Working at Leeds GATE means joining a strong team supporting our members and each other. Join a vibrant and established, award-winning civil society organisation with a national profile for Gypsies and Travellers.
Our members say Leeds GATE is a safe space and a home away from home. For our staff we work hard to create an environment that allows them to do their best work. We start from respecting people’s strengths and what value they bring, creating a safe and supportive environment for people to grow and learn.
We are extremely proud of our strong vision and values, developed collectively and owned by the members and the staff team. They guide a lot of the work we do day-to-day.
Leeds GATE has a blended staff team with staff members both from Gypsy and Traveller communities and not. To make this a reality, we will sometimes follow slightly different recruitment processes to ensure our job roles are fully accessible to all candidates.
