Our mission

Our mission

Our mission is to level the playing field when it comes to young people finding the best opportunities for them. It's the driving force behind everything that we do, and we want to hire people who are fired up by it.

We are working to achieve our mission by building a one-stop-shop for destinations, where young people can explore, find and apply successfully for their best next step after school, wherever it is in the world.

We are a profit-making organisation but we put having a positive social impact before anything else.

Our team
How we work

How we work

We have a culture of innovation right across the team. Good ideas can come from anywhere, whether they are about cool new things on the platform or ways we can improve how we work.

We believe in open communication. If something needs to change, we say it right away.

Every person in Unifrog plays a role in helping us reach our ambitious growth targets. Everyone has clear responsibilities, but also everyone is encouraged to take on new challenges. We will always make space for you to grow with the company, and we have a general policy of promoting from within.

Social and belonging
Learning and development

Learning and development

Professional development is at the core of our performance review process. Everyone in the company defines their own 6 month objectives; their line manager and the rest of the organisation tries to support them to reach these objectives.

Everyone in the company has an annual training budget. Each person decides how to spend their budget, supported by their line manager.

Anyone in the team can volunteer to become a 'Champion' in a specific area - they get an additional training budget, and the chance to lead training sessions for the whole team.

Progression
Where we work

Where we work

Since Unifrog started we have had a London HQ, with the majority of the team working remotely, spread around the UK and the world. We are big believers in open and regular communication, so wherever we are, we talk often.

If you're based in London you'll work flexibly, spending at least a few days each week in our lovely office. If you're based outside London you're very welcome to work from our office when you're in town, and you'll come to our in-person Team Days 4 times per year.

What matters to me

Unifroggers on working at Unifrog

Inclusion and diversity

Samar Shah, Head of UK Partner Success
Samar Shah

To me, diversity and inclusion mean being able to happily coexist in a place where there are people different to you. It also means feeling comfortable enough to be your true self, knowing you aren't being judged or ridiculed for it. I think a big part of it is also creating a sense of belonging so other people feel included and welcome.

At Unifrog, we’ve created an environment where employees are listened to and our opinions are really considered. We have a really strong sense of belonging here, making it easy to speak to others comfortably if you want to change something, and it's great to be a part of that.

Openness and transparency

Vikki Garner, Head of UK Partnerships
Vikki Garner

For me, openness and transparency means having a team of people that can communicate with one another in a clear and honest way. This is important inside the Unifrog team, but also in the way we work with our partner schools. We ask for their feedback, inform them of our plans and of the reasons behind the decisions and developments we make.

It’s vital that we do this, because being open and transparent leads to trust between every member of the team and our partner schools. It fosters an environment where we can share our ideas and thoughts, provide constructive feedback, and know that we're respected and supported every step of the way. In this way, we make better and more informed decisions about the direction of the platform and the company.

Social purpose

Freddie Knaggs, Head of HE Partnerships
Freddie Knaggs

Unifrog's mission is important to every person on the team, and it's what drives all the decisions we make. I'm really proud to be a part of a company that puts its social impact before commercial decisions.

From the very beginning the platform was built in a way that helps each student find the best path for them. Our aim is always to help each student make their own decisions, never to push them towards a particular one - so all career and education pathways on Unifrog are represented and we encourage everyone to take a look at everything. We also just added a new tool which helps students search for things like scholarships and summer schools they are eligible for, and I am excited to work on more things like this in the future!

Building a team

Daniel Keller, CEO
Daniel Keller

The biggest challenge is getting the balance of the team right - we want everyone to share a real enthusiasm for our mission as well as certain characteristics we value, but we also want to make sure that across the team we nurture a varied set of skills and a range of strengths. If you can get this right though, it's brilliant!

We have ambitious goals that we can only achieve if everyone on the team has the drive to push us onwards and upwards, so for this reason it’s really important to us that Unifrog employees are passionate about our mission. Other important traits include being proactive and innovative, with the ability to take projects forward independently when required. We’re also a particularly socially conscious group of people, and having integrity and being supportive with a community spirit is key. If someone has these characteristics and values, together with the expertise required for a specific role, they'll be a great fit!
