Refer a Friend

If you know someone just as passionate as you about making a positive and lasting difference to young people, refer them to work with us today and you could earn £500* and entry to a holiday prize draw.

How does it work?

1. Click here to view Headway’s current vacancies on the Polaris Careers portal. Find and click in to the role you think is relevant then copy and paste the link to your friend and encourage them to complete an application. Alternatively, you can share this link: www.headwayadolescent.co.uk/refer and they can browse our available jobs to find the most suitable.

2. Click here to complete the form prior to, or on the same day as, the person you are referring applies for the job. Please note that consent must be obtained from the applicant before sharing any personal contact details.

3. If the person you referred is appointed, we’ll be in touch to arrange payment of the £500 once they have successfully completed their probation period.
