THE LUMINARY MISSION
To empower the UK’s most disadvantaged women to gain employment and independence through training, support and community, using baking as a tool.
- Providing exceptional training & support programmes that afford women with the tools she needs to change her future. - Offering opportunities into the ‘world of work’ by being an understanding and empowering employer and acting as a bridge for a woman to start her career. - Producing beautiful, artisanal baked goods that make a difference & tell a story. - Creating welcoming, community cafes with excellent quality products that engage the wider community by enabling them to ‘purchase with purpose’.
We are an ambitious and driven team, with a desire to create as many employment opportunities for women as we can. We are committed to building a diverse team, and seek to be representative of those we are supporting, so we would especially like to hear from from applicants who are from racially minoritised groups in the UK.

📣 Mission & Purpose
We are a social enterprise that supports women who have experienced gender-based violence by equipping them with the skills and confidence they need to enter the working world. The best part of our job is hearing our women talk about how Luminary's trauma-informed support and programme has completely changed their lives.
⛑ Employee wellbeing
Having worked in the women's sector for a number of years I was really blown away by the support Luminary offer to its frontline staff around their wellbeing and keeping us healthy in our jobs. This has continued to grow since I have been here.
🤩 Flat hierarchy
We work as one-team where everyone's voice is heard and matters. I have seen feedback taken seriously and changes made both in my role and the wider company.
Overall
Working in the VAWG sector is tough but I feel Luminary go above and beyond to support their staff. Working in the charity side of the social enterprise my team get to see real change happening in the lives of the women on our programme with a number of them now being colleagues both in the charity and business.
