Our Recruitment Process
Our recruitment process is designed to be open, engaging, and focused on what really matters - finding people who share our values and want to make a difference.
When we meet candidates, we’re not just looking at competencies and skills; we want to understand who they are, what drives them, and how they align with our commitment to putting residents first.
Colleague Voices
At Lifestone, we know that our people are at the heart of everything we do. We believe that what makes working here different is our commitment to be a place where people love to work, where everyone can belong, and where professionalism and passion shine through in everything we do. Just as we put residents first, we ensure that our colleagues feel heard, valued, and respected. That’s why we have a number of colleague forums dedicated to wellbeing, diversity, and inclusion, as well as a space where everyone has a voice in key business decisions. We know that every colleague brings something unique, and we are committed to fostering a workplace where individuality is celebrated, and everyone can be their best.
An inclusive employer
As an employer of over 1,000 people, we are committed to creating an inclusive workplace and community where everyone is respected, valued, and welcome. We promote fairness and ensure no discrimination based on age, disability, gender, race, religion, or other protected characteristics.
We pursue fairness to ensure that no one is treated less favourably because of who they are. We challenge discrimination and remove barriers, so everyone has equal access to our services and equal opportunities to succeed.
We recognise, respect and celebrate each other’s differences because they make us stronger. We know diversity of thought and experience helps us better reflect, understand and serve the communities in which we work.
We create an environment where everyone feels welcome and free to be their true selves. We want all colleagues to feel a sense of belonging at Lifestone, to know they have a voice and to contribute with confidence.
Involving residents
We believe that being part of the community means truly getting involved and making a difference. That’s why we take the time to connect with residents where they are, through initiatives like our Big Door Knocks and Neighbourhood Action Weeks, where we listen, learn, and take action to improve local areas together.
Our commitment to giving back to our local community
We know that small changes can have a big impact, and every colleague plays a part in this. That’s why each year, every colleague gets three Giving Something Back days to volunteer and support local projects, whether it’s improving outdoor spaces, helping community groups, or providing practical support to those who need it most. Because for us, community isn’t just where we work - it’s who we are.
