CharityJob UK Scraper: Nonprofit & Charity Jobs

Extract charity, nonprofit and social sector job listings from CharityJob (charityjob.co.uk), the UK's largest specialist charity job board. Returns title, employer, cause area, salary (GBP min/max), workplace type, closing date, full description and apply URL. Pay per result.

What You Get

• cause_area: CharityJob's own vetted cause taxonomy (Charities, Health, Education, Environment, etc.) -- not guessed from job titles, applied by the editorial team
• category / tags: Role category labels (Fundraising, Campaigns, Advocacy, Community Fundraising, etc.) from CharityJob's own taxonomy -- unique to this board
• organisation_type: Registered Charity, CIC, Trust, or other legal entity type as filed with CharityJob on signup
• closing_at: Application deadline in ISO 8601 -- present on most CharityJob listings, unlike most generalist boards
• salary_min / salary_max in GBP: Structured from the schema.org JSON-LD embedded in every listing -- not scraped from free text
• company_about / company_website / company_active_jobs_count: Employer profile data (when includeCompanyDetails: true) including charity about-text and count of other open roles

Who Should Use This

This actor is the specialist tool for UK third-sector recruiters, nonprofit job boards, and charity HR analytics teams. CharityJob is purpose-built for the UK voluntary sector -- every listing is vetted for sector alignment, making signal-to-noise far higher than generalist boards for roles like Head of Fundraising, Programme Director, or Policy Officer. The structured cause_area and category taxonomy is applied by CharityJob's editorial team and cannot be reproduced by scraping generalist boards. Salary benchmarking vendors covering UK nonprofits use the structured GBP salary fields, which come from schema.org JSON-LD and are far more reliable than regex on free text.
