Industry-leading employers

Creating a safe, diverse, and inclusive environment – as well as investing in and upskilling our workforce – are just some of the ways we can ensure that Bellway is an employer of choice.

Working for better

As a responsible employer, we are committed to being an inclusive organisation that strives to create a working environment that is open, diverse, and free from all forms of prejudice and discrimination.

Bellway wouldn’t exist without the talent and commitment of our colleagues. We invest in our people to ensure that they have the training and ongoing development necessary to develop their careers and deliver work they can be proud of.

As an active member of ‘The 5% Club’, we commit to having at least 5% of our workforce employed in ‘earn and learn’ roles, including apprenticeships, student placements, and graduate roles.

Taking the right steps

  • Increase percentage of our workforce in an ‘earn and learn’ role to 12% by July 2027.
