Employment and volunteering opportunities
At the Untouched World Foundation, we’re lucky to work alongside passionate people who care deeply about sustainability, youth development, and positive change. We offer a variety of volunteering opportunities on our Canterbury-based programmes, and from time to time we also have paid positions — like our current Cora Wilding Graduate Residency.
While we welcome interest in our work, we’re only able to consider applications for advertised roles. We can’t accept unsolicited job applications outside of these.
Please note: this page is for opportunities with the Untouched World Foundation (the charitable trust). If you are looking for roles with the Untouched World fashion brand or retail stores, you’re in the wrong place — please visit the Untouched World fashion brand website for information about careers with the brand.
