Belonging at OVO.
Happy. Respected. Supported. These are the things we want everyone to feel. Because at OVO, you can be your whole self. No matter how you think, who you love, your beliefs, your age, how your body works, or what gender you identify as.
We're determined to make OVO a place where everyone feels they belong. Not just because it's the right thing to do. But also because a more diverse, inclusive team is a better, happier one.
Our teams and our incredible Belonging Networks work hard every day to make this a reality. We’re proud of the progress we’ve made and of all the initiatives we introduced to make OVO a truly inclusive, respectful and accessible place for all. Use the tiles below to explore what each of our Networks do and you’ll find more information about relevant resources too.
You can also check out our Belonging approach, Belonging Podcast series, and annual Belonging reports: 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024.
And you don’t have to take our word for it. We’ve won some brilliant awards to show what diversity means to us at OVO.
We are a Disability Confident Leader, proud to support candidates with disabilities, including those who are neurodivergent or have mental health conditions. As members of the Disability Confident Scheme and partners of the Business Disability Forum, we encourage applicants with disabilities to opt-in during the application process. This doesn’t guarantee an interview, but reflects our commitment to an inclusive environment.
We also value the contribution veterans, reservists and adult cadets make to our nation. That’s why we’ve signed the Armed Forces Covenant and offer a guaranteed interview to anyone from the defence community who meets the role criteria. Please tell us if you are part of this community when you apply.
You can request adjustments to the application or interview process directly on the form. We aim to make the process as easy and comfortable as possible. For help or advice before applying, please email Belonging@ovo.com
