About Us

Break Barriers. Employ Change.

At Prospect, we value the diversity of people. Diversity at Prospect means a workplace where individual differences are recognized and appreciated, respected, and responded to in ways that fully develop and utilize each person’s talents and strengths.

Prospect helps people get jobs. We’re a not-for-profit and registered charity, so while the bottom line can’t be ignored, it’s not our priority. Clients are.

Prospect strongly believes in its five brand pillars and is looking for great candidates who share the same beliefs :

Enthusiastic — Prospect approaches every opportunity with enthusiasm. We drive change with energy, optimism, and commitment. Anyone who walks through our doors can feel the positive energy.

Professional — In every facet of our work, our actions show a commitment to professional management and service delivery. Prospect is accountable, ethical, and honest.

Innovative — Prospect creates change by envisioning the end game and creating the means to realize it. We believe asking “why not?” aids progress. Solutions are created when we think beyond traditional boundaries.

Inclusive — Prospect is driven to achieve equal access for all to opportunities and resources. We strive to create a fair, healthy and high‑performing environment where everyone is respected, encouraged, and motivated, and their contributions help Prospect attain its goals.

Collaborative — Prospect seeks different perspectives. All parties must be engaged, including for‑profit, not‑for‑profit, funders and government. Only by understanding all points of view can we create inclusive workplaces.
