Careers

At Sicklekan, we are committed to improving the lives of people affected by sickle cell disease through advocacy, support, education, and long-term change. Our work is driven by compassion, professionalism, and a strong belief in equality and dignity for all.

We are always interested in hearing from people who share our values and want to contribute meaningfully to our mission.

Why Work With Us

Working with Sicklekan means being part of a purpose-driven organisation focused on real-world impact. Whether you are supporting individuals in crisis, helping shape services, or contributing behind the scenes, your work directly supports people and communities who are often overlooked.

We offer:

  • A mission-led and values-driven working environment

  • Opportunities to make a genuine social impact

  • A collaborative and respectful culture

  • Commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion

  • Opportunities for learning, development, and growth.

Our Values

  • Everything we do is guided by our core values:

  • Respect and dignity for those we support

  • Integrity and accountability in how we work

  • Compassion and empathy in service delivery

  • Inclusion and fairness in opportunity and access

  • Commitment to long-term change, not short-term fixes.

Who We’re Looking For

We welcome applications from people with a wide range of skills and backgrounds, including:

  • Health and social care professionals

  • Community workers and advocates

  • Project, operations, and administrative staff

  • Communications, fundraising, and digital specialists.

  • People with lived experience of sickle cell disease or caring responsibilities.

You do not need prior experience in the charity sector for every role — what matters most is alignment with our values and a commitment to our cause.
