Inspire North is a beacon of hope and support in the health and social care sector, formed in 2018 by uniting two outstanding charities, Community Links and Foundation. Serving communities from Durham to Doncaster, Inspire North is steadfast in its mission to create a world where everyone matters, making a difference to over 3000 clients annually with a dedicated team of 535 employees.

The organisation is driven by its core values: people, passion, integrity, and collaboration. These values are not just words on a page; they are lived and breathed by every team member, from the leadership to the front line. The Senior Leadership Team are not just figureheads, they are role models, embodying the company's ethos and setting the tone for the entire organisation. Their authenticity and commitment to open communication is evident, whether discussing anti-racism initiatives or greeting new employees.

Employee engagement isn't just a buzzword at Inspire North; it's an integral part of its operations. A clearly defined five-year strategy, co-created with employees, is displayed across all workplaces, forming a golden thread linking organisational goals, service plans, and individual performance. Monthly structured supervision, clear job descriptions, and a new Code of Conduct provide clarity and direction, fostering a sense of purpose and belonging among employees.

The organisation also prioritises values-based recruitment, seeking individuals whose personal values align with those of Inspire North. New employees are welcomed with a comprehensive induction, including a face-to-face meeting with the SLT, fostering an immediate sense of inclusion and belonging.
