Amazing people in amazing places

Our teams are based across England and Wales — in our hostels, at our National Office in Matlock, Derbyshire, or in remote/hybrid roles anywhere in the UK.

Working or volunteering for a charity like YHA could see you greeting guests in the centre of London, running activities for schools in the Lake District or making beds in a 800-year-old castle. You could be planning our fundraising events, managing our properties, handling our finances or helping to shape the direction of YHA’s future.
