Our services tailored to your sector
Charities
WorkNest has provided valuable support to UK charities for over two decades – and is proud to be a trusted partner of ACEVO.
When you’re focused on your vision as a charity, managing compliance, keeping up with regular changes in the law and dealing with time-consuming worker and volunteer issues can be an unwelcomed distraction.
However, falling short in any of these areas can leave organisations open to scrutiny and the damage can be irreparable. That’s why hundreds of third-sector organisations across the UK trust WorkNest to keep them compliant and operating safely – while they concentrate on what’s important.
Education
WorkNest’s four-pillar approach to Health & Safety, Employment Law and HR allows school leaders and trustees to meet responsibilities, confidently.
Based on our extensive experience working alongside independent schools and Multi-Academy Trusts, we have developed and refined a General Risk Assessment specifically for education providers.
This provides a focused assessment of your Health & Safety Management, Facilities Management, Curriculum-Related Risk and School-Specific Risk.

Local Government Authorities
Many Local Councils already benefit from our support with their Employment Law, HR and Health & Safety challenges.
When you run a busy Council, you face many challenges: the intricate nature of the Council organisational structure, compliance, safety, regular changes in the law and time-consuming employee issues. These take you away from making your Council flourish.

Professional Services
Our fixed-fee support allows professional services businesses to supercharge their workforce, protect their reputation and save valuable time and money.
