Who we are

Brake has been supporting victims of road carnage since 1995, and we're on a mission to prevent future collisions. Every 20 minutes, someone is killed or seriously injured on our roads, impacting lives profoundly.

Join our team

Your greatest reward will be knowing you've made a positive difference in someone's recovery from psychological trauma.

About the team and how we work

Brake is passionate about creating an inclusive workplace that values diversity. We welcome your application whatever your background or situation. We particularly welcome applications from those who are part of the global majority, the LGBTQIA+ community or disabled. We are proud to be a disability confident employer. We don’t want you to ‘fit’ our culture, we want you to enrich it. So, if you have a passion for making a difference and share in our vision for a world where no one is killed on our roads, we would love to hear from you.

Submit your CV and a covering letter which clearly demonstrate you have what it takes to perform this challenging and rewarding role to recruitment@brake.org.uk.

We want to get to know you and we welcome cover letters in alternative formats, for example you could send a short video cover letter instead of a traditional written one.
