Diversity & Inclusion
D&I at Sellick Partnership
At Sellick Partnership we value the unique differences of our colleagues, candidates and clients and work hard to create and maintain a culture that is respectful, accessible and forward-thinking. Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) in the workplace is fundamental to success, and as a responsible recruitment partner, we firmly believe all businesses, regardless of their size or the sector, should be able to demonstrate their commitment to D&I and talk openly and honestly about what they are doing to support their employees.
As part of our D&I commitments, we are proud to be an APSCo Member Committed to Diversity, which means we have successfully demonstrated our commitment to encouraging diversity in recruitment. APSCo’s Diversity Commitment is a public promise by its members to take measurable steps to improve diversity within their organisation and within the recruitment industry.
Our dedicated Diversity Champions have achieved, and committed to, a number of other awards and accreditations and have undertaken external training to continue to develop and grow our knowledge and understanding of inclusive recruitment practices.
Board Sponsor:
Ray Wareing
"Cultivating an inclusive environment has always been a priority for the Board of Directors here at Sellick Partnership. Our Vision to 'shine a light on the future of our people' was devised by our board members and is reflective of our commitment to truly recognise and encourage individuality.
Our commitment to diversity doesn’t just end with our internal culture and employees. We work closely with our clients to ensure diversity is at the forefront of our recruitment approach. Our Diversity Champions are empowered by myself and the Board to make changes, improvements and suggestions on ways that we can improve and be more inclusive. We are continually challenging ourselves, whether that’s through internal review or joining charters such as the Race Fairness Commitment. If you’d like to discuss our inclusion initiatives further then do not hesitate to get in touch with myself or a member of our team to see how we can work together."

Testimonials
Charity testimonial: Henshaws
"Henshaws are absolutely delighted to announce our new association with Sellick Partnership.

We want to pass our sincere thanks over to Sellick Partnership. Henshaws is extremely excited for what the future holds."
Candidate testimonial: AS Mentoring
"I just wanted to thank you again for directing me to AS Mentoring, the organisation for neurodiversity. I have started attending monthly meets up with them and this week, I had my occupational health assessment at the [client name] to see what support can be put in place for me, I have asked for the coaching and mentoring AS Mentoring suggested to me. This has been a big step for me, because before I would not be open about my condition and struggles, becoming overwhelmed and just move on. So, it’s a big step for me to be open about it and ask for the support."
