"My favourite thing about working at Platfform is the organisation culture and how staff are treated. I've worked with many organisations and it is the first time I work in an environment where everyone cares for each other and their own unique needs. I feel supported and I am allowed to be creative in my work."
Luke

My favourite thing about working for Platfform is being part of a family who cares so passionately to change the world as I do. Everyone is so supportive and welcoming which makes me proud to bring my true authentic self to work every day. Life is too short to do a job in which you don't make a difference and at Platfform you make a difference every single day!"
