Values-based recruitment
At Phoenix, we use values-based recruitment to ensure that the people who join our team bring the right skills and share our commitment to our values.
For us, values-based recruitment is about building a workforce that genuinely believes in the strengths and potential of the people we support. It helps us create environments where people feel heard, safe, and empowered—whether accessing our services or working within them.
By prioritising values in recruitment, we also strengthen our organisational culture, improve staff retention, and foster teams that are motivated by purpose, not just process. It’s how we maintain integrity in everything we do—and how we make a lasting impact in people’s lives.
