Diversity & Inclusion

We don't like to complicate things at MVH. If you are driven to perform, you'll fit right in, it's as simple as that really! We believe people's differences are what make them great and actively seek out multiple approaches and perspectives. We're passionate about building a culture where everyone feels comfortable bringing their authentic, whole self to work.


We're committed to the principles of equality and diversity, and we want to be a mutual for everyone. We have been awarded the prestigious Tai Pawb "Quality in Equality and Diversity" accreditation, but we know that we still have work to do. People from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities are currently under-represented in our mutual. We actively encourage people from these communities to apply for this and other roles within the organisation. We operate the Rooney rule and guarantee to interview all under-represented people who meet our essential criteria.


We welcome applications from individuals with disabilities and encourage you to share your Health Adjustment Passport with us. This helps us provide the necessary support and adjustments to support you in your role.
