Overview

‘There is a massive range of opportunity in the ethical jobs market, from solar engineering to sustainable development and care work. Choosing an ethical career does not mean sacrificing a well paid and exciting position in the corporate sector for an underpaid, under-appreciated one. It means doing something that serves our practical needs, our personal values and our interests in a way that positively impacts upon the world.

Until now, there has been no easy way for people who use the internet as a primary source of job seeking to find a comprehensive selection of jobs that have an ethical dimension. We aim to provide this by moving away from the industry-specific niche-market business model.’

Our Mission

Many people in conventional jobs and following mainstream career paths are getting increasingly concerned about what the end result of their work actually is.  Who really benefits?  Who makes most of the money from their labours?  What happens to that money then?  What damage is done on the way, both to people and to the planet?

Our aims are twofold:

• To provide a broad selection of ethically sound jobs across a wide spectrum of sectors with hope of enticing those in mainstream career paths into more sustainable and conscience-driven employment by demonstrating that their skills and experience can be easily transferred.
• To accumulate a loyal following of socially, culturally and environmentally aware jobseekers so employers in the green and ethical sectors will be able to rely on our ability to fill their vacancies.

Our Organisation

Ethical Jobs™ is part of the IPSP ™ group of websites, bringing passion to social and environmental change. Other sites within the group are the Ethical Directory™, the Ethical Guide™, Ethical Heroes™, Ethical Product Review™ and Ethical Goodies™ and TheDentalWeb™,

Our Environmental Impact

We are aware that there is always more we can do but we have taken a start in the following ways

• Our website is hosted with servers that run on 100% solar energy so create zero carbon emissions. (See www.ecologicalhosting.com for info).
• All office paper, what little that is, is recycled.
• Wherever possible, our meetings are conducted using teleconferencing, to reduce emissions caused by unnecessary travel.
• We only buy fairtrade tea and coffee!
• We are a member of the Stop Climate Chaos Coalition.

Ethical Jobs™ reserves the right to review and actively monitor practices of organisations recruiting on this site and, if necessary, remove them.
