Careers with Diversifying Group

Inclusion is at the heart of what we do. We’re very proud of our working culture and make every effort to ensure everyone can feel as comfortable as possible at work, so you can be your authentic self everyday.

Through our work, we’re supporting people and organisations on their journeys to becoming genuinely inclusive. Come and be a part of the change!

We believe everyone should work in a way that suits them. That’s why we operate a hybrid working model, where we ask our team to join in-person strategy (and fun!) days once a month in our London office. Outside of these, you’re free to work from home, no matter where in the UK you live. And since not everyone enjoys working from home, our London co-working space is always open for our team to use whenever they need.

Wellbeing

Our people are at the heart of everything we do, and it is imperative to us that everyone is happy and healthy at work and that staff are afforded a positive work-life balance.

We genuinely believe that work is a place that can have a positive impact on maintaining good mental wellbeing when purpose, structure and a sense of belonging is provided. At Diversifying Group, we recognise that it is our responsibility to create a safe and supportive environment where people feel comfortable having open and honest conversations. Struggling with mental or physical health can prove such an isolating experience and knowing that the organisation you work with actively addresses this can go a long way to alleviate a potential source of additional worry.

What are we doing to support wellbeing?

As a B Corp, we’re part of a global community of businesses that meet high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. After a long and rigorous certification process, we join the movement of business as a force for good, pursuing a more inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economy.

We’re honoured to sit alongside an impressive community of B Corps in the UK and beyond, putting people and the planet above profits. We’re so proud of our B Impact Score; we worked hard to reach a level over and beyond the industry and UK average.
