Careers with us

Our mission is to make our award-winning workplace the best it can be.

Careers

Our vision

Our vision is to challenge norms and enhance the lives of all those we come into contact with by placing diversity and inclusion at the heart of everything we do.

We’re leaders in our industry, and we're always looking for talented people to join us and contribute to our success. With big plans to expand and grow, Acorn is an exciting place to be.

Company Values

The support we provide to all our colleagues, clients and jobseekers is responsive, versatile and effective. Our commitment is based on our core values:

To put our clients and candidates at the centre. Putting our clients and candidates at the centre of everything we do is imperative – every decision you make should consider how it will impact the customer experience. We want to ensure we understand our customers and strive to continually increase customer satisfaction rates.

Take responsibility for your actions and stand by your promises. Accountability is about ownership and initiative. Be responsible for your actions, behaviours and decisions and take pride in what you do.

We want to create a culture of teamwork, collaboration and helping each other. In order to achieve this, it's important to communicate clearly and openly with colleagues, candidates and clients.

For each other, our communities, and our environment. Treat people how you’d like to be treated and use empathy and patience – think before you act considering body language, tone of voice and expression. Treat all people equally to encourage inclusiveness and avoid discrimination. Be mindful of our social, economic, and environmental impact.

You will be given the tools, training, and support to be able to make decisions and take actions, in line with company goals and values. Autonomy and responsibility will encourage creativity and continuous improvement.
Range of opportunities

We offer a wide range of internal career opportunities across various departments. Whether you're a trainee recruitment consultant just starting your career or an experienced professional, we have roles available through our specialist teams and branch network. Beyond recruitment, we also offer positions in HR, marketing, accounts, payroll, IT, and compliance to support our recruitment operations. With diverse opportunities for career growth, we're committed to nurturing talent and helping employees excel in their chosen fields.

We provide a range of support, including the Help@Hand Employee Assistance Programme (EAP), a private healthcare scheme, mental health first aiders, a flexible working culture, and more!
