When you join UWGK, you become a trusted advisor, collaborating with colleagues and community stakeholders to bring forward actionable insights that deliver meaningful and sustainable outcomes. In 2022, we celebrated the United Way of Greater Knoxville's centennial year and unveiled our plans for the next 100 years.
As the Modern United Way, we are broadening our scope to include systems-level work in areas such as housing, food, and early care and education. We will continue acting as a nonprofit funder and supporter, but we will also be advocating on a larger scale to create lasting, systemic change in our community.
At UWGK, we recognize the richness that diversity brings. We strive to create a work culture where all belong and collaborate with local businesses, partner agencies, and community organizations in building more inclusive communities. We embrace and encourage our employees’ differences that make our employees unique. As an equal opportunity employer, we want to empower all our teammates to succeed and grow. Please let us know if you require accommodation at any point during the recruitment process. We will be happy to assist.

All UWGK offers of employment are contingent upon the ability to complete a background investigation successfully. Background investigation components can vary depending on specific job criteria. UWGK will consider employment-qualified applicants with arrests and conviction records in accordance with all local regulations and ordinances.
UWGK will not discharge or, in any other manner, discriminate against employees or applicants because they have inquired about, discussed, or disclosed their pay or the pay of another employee or applicant. However, employees who have access to the compensation information of other employees or applicants as a part of their essential job functions cannot disclose the pay of other employees or applicants to individuals who do not otherwise have access to compensation information unless the disclosure is (a) in response to a formal complaint or charge, (b) in furtherance of an investigation, proceeding, hearing, or action, including an investigation conducted by the employer, or (c) consistent with UWGK's legal duty to furnish information.
