Why join York Together?
Emmie, who is going to maternity leave has this to say about working at York Together:
“Working with York Together is a unique experience, as you’re free to be entirely yourself. You feel genuinely held and supported, and you’re surrounded by people who really care about what they’re doing. York Together encourages each member of the team to share their own ideas, think differently and try things that might not have been done before.”
We are at an exciting moment in our development of York Together. We have very recently transitioned to become a Community Benefits Society, and have plenty of space to grow and develop.
