About us

We believe everyone deserves a fair shot at work.

CareerBrae exists to tackle one of the most persistent injustices in the UK labour market: that where you start in life so often determines where you end up.

Modern open-plan office environment

Our mission

Human support,
amplified by technology.

We combine the best of human support — dedicated caseworkers who know their participants as individuals — with technology that removes friction from the job search. The result is faster, better employment outcomes for people who have historically been left behind.

We are set up as a Community Interest Company, not a charity. Any surplus we make is reinvested directly into expanding our service — and it is always free to the people we support.

What we stand for

Our values

Human-first

Technology amplifies our caseworkers — it never replaces them. Every participant has a real person in their corner.

Equity

We actively work with people facing the highest barriers: ex-offenders, care leavers, long-term sick, digital exclusion.

Trust & privacy

Participants share sensitive information with us. We handle it with the highest standards of data protection and confidentiality.

Evidence-based

Every outcome is tracked, measured, and reported. We only do what the evidence shows works.

Sustainable impact

We focus on long-term employment, not quick placements. We follow up for 26 weeks after job start.

Responsible AI

AI is always transparent and human-reviewed. Participants know when AI is being used and can opt out.
