Flexible Working Opportunities

WFH Policy
Generally, our team work from home three days per week.
Inclusion & Diversity
Unconscious Bias Practices
Academy days – during our academy hiring days, our senior managers do not have access to personal information to remove risk of initial bias. Everyone at Ascent Group is hired on ability, not experience, which means we do not discriminate against those with or without further education or mass amounts of experience.
Video pitches – we find video pitching extremely effective when trying to create a memorable and comfortable experience for candidates. Some candidates react better when speaking to a friendly face, rather than an intimidating or unexpected phone call.
Personality styles – every new starter receives a personality quiz before their start date, which allows us to understand ideal working styles and practices. This also helps our senior management team to establish the right management techniques when training.
Transparent Equal Pay Policy
In simple terms, thanks to our transparent equal pay policy, our consultants have a clear understanding of salary banding per job title and a clear progression pathway. We are open about our compensation which means that you will be paid fairly and equally, regardless of gender or length of service.
Mother's Room
A designated, private, lockable and comfortable space for new mothers – complete with a refrigerator and sink for your convenience.
Wellness Room
Whether you’re a nursing mother, need to pray or looking to meditate, you can rely on this lockable, serene room.
