We value autonomy inside our teams and we believe in trust.

We must also understand, appreciate and celebrate differences across the AVIV Group - by doing so we are able to act together as one. We’re at the beginning of this journey, with hurdles to overcome. But I’m so excited by the road ahead and the impact it’ll have on our people, our customers and our stakeholders”.

Recruitment Process
Typically, you'll go through a 4 stage recruitment process which'll consist of:
- Informal chat - you'll chat with one of our recruiters who'll look to understand more about your experience and your expectations
- Formal chat the hiring manager will reach talk you through what you can expect from the role, whilst understanding more about what you can bring
- Technical test / Case study - although a scary thought, these have been designed for us to see where we can develop you
- Informal meeting - we'll have you meet the hiring manager again and perhaps members of the team you'll be joining
Every role is different and therefore might have a different recruitment process. The above is a general idea of what you'll commit to.
