Careers
Working at Groupe SOS is an opportunity to bring and develop your talents within Europe’s leading social entrepreneurship group, which works every day to provide solutions to social and environmental issues.
Why join us?
We care about our employees’ well-being
We are determined to offer you all the benefits of a large group, while enabling you to grow on a day-to-day basis within human-scale organisations. In practical terms, this means benefiting from strong local management and a caring working environment. Groupe SOS has long been involved in highlighting the specialities of the social and solidarity economy and in lobbying decision-makers to improve their situation. In recent years, we have regularly spoken out, on our own or alongside other players and representative federations, to ensure that our teams are valued and able to carry out their mission with greater peace of mind.
With the aim of constantly improving the quality of life at work, and because everyone’s opinion counts, Groupe SOS also invites its staff to take part in an anonymous social survey. Each year, the results are used to take stock of the quality of life at work in the group and to draw up action plans to improve it.
From on-boarding to advancement, we’re with you every step of the way
Our teams are there to help you feel comfortable at every stage of your career, as soon as you enter the group: recruitment, on-boarding, orientation, helping each employee take up their new role and monitoring their on-boarding period.
Over the long term, we support you in your career aspirations and choices, thanks to our HR network deployed across all our operations. Every year, Groupe SOS organises annual appraisal/career interviews to assess employees’ wishes and situations. Taking on new responsibilities, moving to a different organisation, sector, audience or even profession: we can offer a wide range of mobility and development options! Many training courses are available for every specialty and at every hierarchical level.
For your information, every year, Groupe SOS invests more in training than it is legally obliged to and endeavours to mobilise the various levers needed to support its employees’ career paths.
Groupe SOS also supports in-house entrepreneurship via the Emergence programme, which brings to life the social and environmental innovations devised by its employees. Emergence gives them the opportunity to embark on an intrapreneurial adventure while receiving support.
Joining Groupe SOS gives you the possibility of a diversified career path full of opportunities!
Together, let’s work towards a fair and sustainable world
Entrepreneurship for the benefit of all: that is the mission of Groupe SOS. We do this with a non-profit, zero-shareholder organisational model that serves the most vulnerable, future generations and regions.
The non-profit organisations, facilities and social enterprises that make up Groupe SOS are active in the field, providing solutions to social and societal issues: shelter and assistance for the socially excluded, private not-for-profit hospitals, nursing homes, social and medical-social facilities, integration workshops and workcamps, cultural centres, organisations working to promote the environmental transition, businesses that reconcile the economy with a social project, solidarity grocery shops and multi-service cafés in isolated areas, international NGOs, etc.
Joining Groupe SOS means becoming involved in actions that have an impact on more than 2 million people every year, in France and abroad. It also means promoting a different organisational model for our society: one that is fair and respectful of the environment.
