Shaping the Future of Healthcare

When you join Archus, you'll join a team of specialists who are committed to answering ‘what’s next?’ in healthcare. Working across every kind of health infrastructure project, including national programmes of transformation and investment, you'll be helping shape the future of best practice central policy and delivering success for our clients by improving the health outcomes of the communities and local populations they serve, nationally and internationally.

Our Development Framework

Wherever you are in your career, we know that personal and professional growth is key to wellbeing and career satisfaction. Our People Development Framework has been created to allow everyone to continually access a range of training and development opportunities, across all career stages and professional pathways.

We hold ourselves accountable to the highest professional standards and behaviour, so we support everyone in gaining appropriate professional memberships and qualifications. We’re corporate members of Association of Project Managers (APM), Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and a founding member of the Health Planning Academy (HPA).

We pride ourselves on being a diverse and inclusive organisation, welcoming people with a range of ethnicity, gender, religion and sexual orientation into our team.

Inclusivity is one of our core values, but it’s not enough to just say this. We take active steps to ensure it is engrained and part of our company’s DNA. Whether that is educating ourselves on how we can help overcome racial bias in the workplace and in healthcare, or monitoring our gender split through an annual gender/benchmarking pay review to ensure fair remuneration. Or becoming active members and attendees of the initiatives like Construction Industry Council D&I working group, and Bristol’s Inclusive Property Charter.

We have a Diversity and Inclusion working group where individuals from across the business meet quarterly to monitor and progress our D&I objectives to support BAME, LGBTQI+ and gender inclusivity. This group has recently committed to capturing and monitoring data on our staff demographic, so that we can analyse and encourage D&I in all that we do. We have pledged to apply to the UK Equality Workforce Index – a benchmarking tool for employers to measure progress on lesbian, gay, bi and trans inclusion in the workplace, as well as applying for the Race Equality Charter.

Archus are also a Disability Confident Committed Employer, which means we take a number of proactive steps to ensure our recruitment process is inclusive and accessible and also to support any of our team who may have a disability or long term health condition, enabling them to stay in work.

Pay and progression

Through our appraisal process, you’ll meet with your line manager twice a year to share your career aspirations and progress. Together, you'll set objectives to achieve your goals, supported by investment in your training and development.

To recognise the efforts we see and reward our people as they deliver for our clients and help us in growing a successful, responsible business we conduct regular pay reviews in line with our externally benchmarked competency-based pay structure, and award bonuses based on both business and personal performance.

Employee Share Trust

Archus is a team and our success is based on our collective contributions. So to share that success, we set up the Archus Employee Share Trust, which is a 10% share in the business owned by all employees. As shareholders, our employees enjoy regular dividends, according to time in the business and remuneration.

Connection and friendship

Our social champions plan a range of events through the year with something for everyone, including charity fundraising and volunteering opportunities. Creating opportunities for connection and friendship amongst our team outside of work is an important part of our culture.

Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)

We are passionate about being a responsible business and working in partnership with our local communities. Through our Environmental, Social and Governance strategy, which is championed by working groups across the business, you’ll have the opportunity to get involved and give back, whether that's through activities which benefit our environment, volunteering days, fundraising events or supporting our early careers programmes.

The health and wellbeing of our team is important to us. From team fitness challenges and charity challenge events to mental health first aiders and a host of educational health and wellbeing resources on our benefits portal, we’ve got you covered. You can also claim annual eyesight tests and flu jabs.

Our benefits portal provides a raft of perks for our team to take advantage of, including childcare vouchers, cycle to work scheme, technology and retail discounts. This is in addition to our generous standard benefits package, which includes:

– Private health insurance
– Pension
– Life insurance
– Critical illness insurance
