About CWGC
Our values are not just words on a page; they reflect and set our culture, and are lived and breathed as we work, as shared expectations, behaviours, and standards.
Our organisation is entrusted with the responsibility and the great honour of caring for the graves, memorials, records, and stories of the fallen. We are an organisation of ABIDING CARE, which is shown each day, in all that we do, in who we are, and in how we work.
We have taken this vital word – CARE – and used it as the base for our Values.
We CARE
Commitment
We recognise that our work is extraordinary, and the pride we feel encourages us to go the extra mile each day to deliver our Mission.
Ambition
For ourselves, each other, and our organisation, to ensure that we hand our organisation to the generations to come, relevant, stronger, and fitter.
Respect
Respect and dignity are fundamental to everything that we do. We are a diverse, inclusive, global team. We act in trust and to build trust, with integrity, clarity, and honesty.
Excellence
We recognise that excellence is not a destination, rather it is a continuing dedication to high standards and improvement.

Claire Horton CBE, Director General
Thank you for your interest in working for our remarkable organisation, The Commonwealth War Graves Commission and our charitable arm The Commonwealth War Graves Foundation.
We are looking for people just like you – with the passion, personality, dedication, determination and skills that will make a real contribution to who we are, what we become and to the shared global task we all work to deliver. I can speak from personal experience, that working for the Commission is a constant journey of discovery and learning. It is an exciting, and we feel, worthwhile endeavour in a dynamic, uplifting, supportive and very rewarding environment.
As an organisation with 1,380 staff worldwide, we speak many languages, possess different talents, and come from a wide variety of backgrounds. We are an organisation that cares about our people; we recognise and celebrate our diversity and our individual contributions and work always to ensure we help everyone, in every role across the Commission feel valued, appreciated and connected.
But above all, we are all dedicated to one purpose – to preserving in perpetuity, the memory and telling the stories of the fallen from the two World Wars, who sacrificed their lives, so that we might live the lives we do today. If this is something that you are keen to be part of, we very much look forward to hearing from you
