Be the life. Yours.
How do you feel?
Our thoughts and feelings affect our quality of life. That’s why health and wellbeing is so important. We’ve always focused on making talking about your wellbeing a part of normal working here - so our employees can always check in about how they’re feeling. And how the way we work, could work better for them. Whether that means more support, or flexible and hybrid working.
Raising the bar
People are our power. So it’s up to us to make sure they have everything they need to stay fully charged, and the support for when they’re not. We’re focused on making sure our people shine inside and outside the workplace. So you can be the life.
Your Health & Wellbeing in action
We’re committed to raising that bar, so we’re already putting in the work. That means enhancing our formal health and wellbeing framework, and reviewing our benefits package. As well as setting objectives for us to hit in the future, which you can read all about below.

Caring for mental health
How we feel matters – a lot. 1 in 4 people are affected by mental health issues at some point in their lives. And the pandemic only magnified this.
That’s why, in 2021 we appointed our first Mental Health First Aider.
Lisa March, our Head of HR, became Bellrock’s first qualified Mental Health First Aider after completing training in January. And we’re hoping her achievement, and commitment to mental health, will inspire more training in the Bellrock family. You can read more about what we’re doing for mental health below.
A huge thanks to St John’s Ambulance - the volunteer-led health and first aid charity who carry our their two-day training with no charge.
Through our partnership with Devon Partnership NHS Trust we have signed up to the Mindful Employer initiative, a national scheme providing employers with easier access to professional Workplace Mental Health training, information and support, the initiative aims to help empower employers to take a lead in supporting the mental wellbeing of their staff.
