Escape's take on Beam
To date, Beam's supporters have changed the lives of 1,872 people. That’s people that have been left behind, such as homeless people, refugees and prison leavers. They do this by completely disrupting the traditional model of homelessness support, by allowing someone who wants to get back on their feet to crowdsource funds from the wider community to fund training for a new career. Beam are using the crowdfunding model in a totally unique and innovative way, and it works. As Beam’s reach continues to grow, as is their team. They offer flexible, partially remote working options, as well as career and wellbeing coaching and more. Why not check out their live roles?

👩👧👧 Team members
The people that work at Beam are amazing! All incredibly capable but also really compassionate and supportive. I've never worked in a team quite like it!
📣 Mission & Purpose
Helping people is at the centre of everything at Beam, and whilst we have revenue/growth targets, the mission is always at the heart of our work. Weekly member highlights and success stories help me feel really connected to the impact we are making!
😎 Autonomy
I feel totally trusted to deliver my own work, in my own style. This way of working encourages creativity and curiosity, and is conducive to a really healthy working culture
Overall
Beam is a great place to work for a few reasons. To start with, the people are fantastic and the mission is important and rewarding. Whilst we work in challenging areas, Beam is super open to feedback about how we can improve our service or internal way of working, and not afraid to change things that aren't working. There is a really collaborative and creative culture, with constant problem solving and trialling new processes to make our service the best it can be.- J

👭 Inclusivity
As a relatively recent joiner I've been really impressed by how the company clearly puts a strong focus on inclusivity, both generally in terms of how people go about their work, but also specifically, e.g. in how our retreat is being designed.
📣 Mission & Purpose
I joined Beam in no small part because of its mission and purpose, to transform how the world supports those left behind.
👩👧👧 Team members
I've honestly never worked somewhere where everyone is not only super capable, but also super nice!
