Equality, Diversity & Inclusion

Putting people first

Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion are not just a tick-box exercise for the Altum Group. It is our mission to build an inclusive and diverse workforce for the future that is accessible to all. This commitment to equal opportunities spans our work with clients and is the foundation of our hiring processes.

what our people say about us

A really chilled and friendly place to work and be part of a down-to-earth team. An encouraging space that supports everyone to achieve their full potential, with great support from the leadership team.

Tania Bailey

Financial Controller

My journey with the business has been fun whilst also giving me the progression and challenge I desire. I have developed a strong skill set that allows me to deliver effectively at a senior level whilst also being supported by the Partners.

Sian Penwarden

Principal

Altum has given me everything I was looking for when I decided to make that move; I am in close contact with the Executive Team, who give me full autonomy over my own work while providing support and advice when I need it. The supportive culture runs right through the company, with everyone working hard to help each other succeed. 

Robbie Anderson

Associate Director, Charity & Public Sector

I have thoroughly enjoyed my time so far at Azura Search. The inclusive and professional environment of the business, coupled with the excellent Senior Management team has helped me develop a strong skillset that allows me to deliver great results.

Alec Grimshaw

Associate

During my time at Azura Search, I have felt supported and fulfilled in my role. The team and Partners enable me to feel challenged and rewarded alongside a clear direction for my career progression. As a team, we truly are collaborative and work with incredible clients.

Bryony Charnock

Senior Associate

I was one of the first employees hired by Altum and have been here ever since. What initially drew me to the company are the same factors that have kept me here: I was struck by David and Ed's collaborative and professional demeanour. This culture has remained as the business has expanded. I also wanted to work with colleagues that value honesty and integrity, but still motivated employees to achieve at a high level. It has been a pleasure to be a part of Altum's journey, which has included international growth, new offices, and new disciplines.

James Harold

Business Manager

It was important to me when moving back to the UK that I was part of a people-orientated business and Altum lived up to that expectation. Management are transparent with the strategy and direction of the organisation and that allows everyone to be behind it. The Altum Foundation is also something that aligns with my values and taking part in the Altumate Experience to raise money for Street Child this year was a real highlight.
