Social-purpose
Job Boards.

I keep a list of job boards for social-purpose work. If you know of others I should add, please let me know.

Sorted — entirely subjectively — into the boards I’ve found most useful when job-hunting, and the others worth a look. Last revised June 2026.

Most useful, according to me

  • TechChange Impact Source — large board with thoughtful filtering options.
  • Devnetjobs — covers the whole dev industry. Huge database and a lengthy weekly email; most functions need Value Membership.
  • Bright+3 — a comprehensive Google Sheet of job boards, with a focus on digital, campaign and creative roles.
  • Devex — covers the whole dev industry, very large, easy alerts. About half of jobs visible free.
  • 80,000 Hours — a small, curated set of recommendations for Effective Altruists. Mostly US or UK.

Still worth checking

  • ImpactPool — UN and international orgs, plus plenty of NGO jobs. Nice interface.
  • DevelopmentAid — very large database, decent search.
  • Human Rights Funders Network — a select list at major human-rights foundations.
  • EvalCommunity — endless M&E jobs.
  • ReliefWeb — comprehensive humanitarian, relief and conflict jobs. Good search.
  • C4D Network — communications and behaviour-change roles; searchable board plus a weekly email.
  • Coordination Sud — especially Francophone countries and French NGOs.
  • J-PAL — academic research roles with a common application.
  • Wellfound (formerly AngelList) — startup jobs, heavily US-focused.
  • CharityJob — UK charity and government jobs.
  • Bond — a smaller but often interesting UK-based selection.
  • IntJobs — US think-tank jobs and some senior Africa-based roles.
  • W4MP — UK politics and London think-tank jobs.
  • NGO Jobs in Africa — a large number of roles, some junior.
  • Idealist — good searchability; limited Africa jobs.
  • ACF — a small list of UK charity jobs.
  • EPLO — European peacebuilding.
  • UN Jobs — mostly UN, plus some other roles.
  • Josh’s Water Jobs — WASH only, and impressively comprehensive within that.
  • Tech Jobs for Good — mission-driven tech, US only.
  • Green Jobs List — a newsletter of social and environmental jobs, mostly US.
  • Climatebase — the leading board for climate and sustainability jobs worldwide.
  • Fast Forward — tech non-profit jobs, mostly US, smooth interface.
  • Escape the City — filter by visa sponsorship; UK focus, socially-minded for-profits.
  • Anna Meier’s list — academic political-science job boards.
  • Effective Altruism NYC — EA roles plus useful links and advice.
  • SDG.careers — filter by SDG; lots of US roles.
  • The Impact Job — board, org profiles and career resources for mission-driven work.
  • Gender Jobs — excellent coverage and strong filtering.
  • Probably Good — smaller board, research-heavy and EA-type roles.
  • Impact Finance Pro — jobs focused on impact finance.
  • PCDN — a small but ambitious board, with their own strong meta-list.
