Our mission:
At Vela Medical Group, we prioritise honesty and transparency in all aspects of equality, diversity, and inclusion. We continuously challenge our unconscious biases and strive for improvement in every area of our business.
We are honest and transparent about equality, diversity and inclusion – with ourselves and with those we work with.
We are always learning, always challenging our own unconscious biases, always aiming to do better – across every aspect of our business.
Our team recruits based on fairness and equity, with awareness of unconscious bias. We offer clients de-biasing checklists and advice.
Our comprehensive onboarding system and trained helpdesk adhere to non-biased core values, offering advice and document assistance.
We advocate for unbiased remuneration and equal pay, only working with clients who pay above the National Living Wage.
We develop job descriptions free of gendered pronouns and age references to reduce barriers for candidates.
We encourage clients to use materials depicting a wide range of social groups, positively influencing job seekers.
It’s about how we do it, about who we are, and about who we strive to be. These are the values that our people live by every day:
Empowering clients, candidates & employees
A resolute commitment to excellence
Enabling professionals to make informed decisions
Dedicated to doing things right for all
Everything we do is about people, and everyone counts
