Benefits
We are immensely proud of our heritage. Our pioneering approach, founded on solid principles, ensures that we remain original, authentic, and resilient even in turbulent times.
Text
We benefit from a flexible and balanced approach to working – which is integral to our culture – alongside our core partnership values of collaboration, openness, and knowledge sharing.
With these core principles, we strive to create a democratic and inclusive environment, where every individual has the opportunity to voice their opinions and contribute meaningfully to various aspects of practice governance. Everyone can participate in our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion group and affinity support networks, which influence policies and day-to-day practice life.
Our people are invited to join in with social activities including team sports, our annual practice party, and monthly office socials. We celebrate individual and practice achievements such as promotion, chartership, long service, and industry awards.
Being able to balance work with the more personal aspects of life is especially important to overall wellbeing. As well as flexible working, we offer family-friendly policies to support those with dependants and provide generous paid sick leave and compassionate leave benefits.
We care about the wellbeing of our colleagues. At Max Fordham you will have direct access to our Employee Assistance Programme, offering confidential, professional support and counselling services, backed up with support from our in-house trained Mental Health first aiders and Mental Health Champions located in all our offices.
