Our Values
We want every employee to live the core values of the business:
More than me: Our goals are too big to achieve on our own, it takes diverse skills and various people to achieve greatness.
Care a lot: Doing the right thing isn’t optional. We care a lot about our users, the NHS and each other. We hold each other to the highest standards and earn our reputation every day.
See it thru: We’re constantly looking for excellence. We take pride in planning and execution of all types of work, and we’re not deterred by bumps in the road or adversity. When we see obstacles, we relish the challenge and keep going.
Think around corners: We always stay ahead of the curve. All of us share a responsibility to challenge the status quo, think outside of the box, turn problems on their head and turn weaknesses into strengths.
**Bounce back & learn: **Being brave, taking risks and trying new things. It’s better to take risks and learn from them and being open to changing from what you learned is what makes us successful.
Diversity promise
We believe that a great workplace is one that represents the world we live in and how beautifully diverse it can be. That means we have no judgement when it comes to any one of the things that make you who you are. Everyone is welcome — as an inclusive workplace, our employees are comfortable bringing their authentic whole selves to work. Be you. All you need is a passion and a desire to be part of our mission.
