Consensus named one of the UK's Best Workplaces 2025

We’re thrilled to announce that Consensus have been named on the UK’s Best Workplaces™ 2025 List by Great Place To Work for a third year running, ranking 16th in the UK in the Super Large Organisation category.

A place where kindness, commitment, and creativity are intertwined through every moment at Consensus, our values ensure we create incredible places for people with learning disabilities, autism, and complex needs to flourish. And as an employer, it is our commitment to provide the very best workplaces for those colleagues, creating a space where our colleagues can be their authentic selves and develop within their careers.

Making the list

Announced at the prestigious UK’s Best Workplaces™ Awards at Grosvenor House in the heart of London, we’ve achieved our position in the super large category. Independently assessed through a rigorous and unique process, those on the list have proved they have created a great workplace culture built on trust, supported by innovative people management practices.

To compile the UK’s Best Workplaces™ List, Great Place To Work® analysed confidential employee survey feedback on trust and reaching their full human potential, as well as employees’ experiences of innovation, company values, and leadership effectiveness across departments and seniority levels. They then used these data insights to benchmark the effectiveness of companies’ employee value propositions against the culture their employees actually experience. Only those businesses who achieve the highest scores after evaluation receive Best Workplaces™ status.

Building a Best Workplace

Since receiving our Great Place to Work certification again last year, alongside being recognised as one of the UK’s Best Workplaces™ for Women, Development, Wellbeing, Healthcare, and as a Super Large Organisation 2024 , we’ve been hard at work implementing new initiatives, benefits and policies based on colleagues’ feedback.

  • Great Culture: We make people feel welcome (89%) in an environment where people can be their authentic selves (82%).
  • Great Care: The work we do here at Consensus has a special meaning, with 88% of colleagues agreeing that working here is more than just a job. 
  • Great Opportunities: We ensure that everyone has the opportunity to develop and grow, and 88% of colleagues confirmed they are offered training and development to further themselves professionally.

On making the UK’s Best Workplaces™ List, CEO Paula Keys said: “I am thrilled that for the third consecutive year Consensus has been recognised as a Great Place to Work. This is a credit to our Teams across Consensus and I am privileged to work with such a talented group of people who make a difference to people’s lives every day.

 I am immensely proud of how my Consensus colleagues do what they do every day and they do it with kindness, commitment and creativity every day.

 Congratulations to all of you and thank you for making Consensus a #GreatPlacetoWork2025.
