Welcome to Hawthorn

We work hard and love a challenge. But our collaborative approach makes working fun and creates opportunities that, quite simply, can’t be found elsewhere.

We're building a diverse, inclusive, and supportive workplace, where everyone feels they belong. It’s what makes us such an effective team and why building an inclusive culture is vital to our future.

If you join us, you’ll have the opportunity to work with some of the most interesting people and organisations on issues that really matter. We’re proudly independent and know that our greatest asset is our people: we choose carefully because together, we’re more than the sum of our parts.

Creating an inclusive environment

We look to build an inclusive environment regardless of gender, age, race, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, or background. We want to give everyone an equal opportunity to succeed, no matter who you are or where you come from. We believe in potential and of the broader role we can play in supporting underrepresented communities and opening-up opportunity. This is why we partner with national social mobility charity Career Ready and SchoolOnline. Building an inclusive environment is a team effort and our efforts are led by both our colleague-run DE&I Committee and Employee Engagement Committee.

Your wellbeing

We want you to feel good and support you to nurture your wellbeing. We know how important it is to get the balance right and we believe in a holistic approach. We’ve carefully chosen our benefits and perks to help with that.

Benefits and perks

We offer competitive salaries that reflect your skills and experience, but we also offer a range of benefits and perks. We're proud to offer a range of benefits that have been carefully put together to support your mental, physical, financial, and social wellbeing.
