READY TO DO THE BEST WORK OF YOUR LIFE?

About Us

We’re Human Engine. Our mission is to help individuals and organisations do the best work of their lives – and this applies to our own team as well as our clients.

We work hard to deliver positive change and create a meaningful impact for our clients and society.

Our origins are in local government, but we have since supported central government, regulators, charities and NHS organisations to make things better for their organisations, their staff and the people who rely on their services.

Our work is extremely varied – from helping clients tackle modern slavery in their supply chains to redesigning whole organisations through new operating models.

We are growing quickly and looking for talented, driven people who share our passion for delivering exceptional results and creating positive change.

Diversity, creativity, and innovation are also essential to us. We strive to create a fun, inclusive, collaborative work environment where people’s ideas are heard and everyone can do their best work. In our experience, the best solutions come from teams with diverse ideas who work together to challenge conventional thinking and approach problems with fresh perspectives.

If you like the sound of all this and are passionate about delivering outstanding results, we would love to hear from you.

Our Values

RIGOUR

Rigour is the hallmark of the Human Engine approach. We work to the highest standards in everything we do. We see every project as an opportunity to do the best work of our lives, supported by an uncompromising, rigorous approach to quality.

CURIOSITY

We interrogate problems fully until we really understand them. We’re curious about what clients tell us; we don’t take anything for granted and make sure that we really understand their context. We’re curious about ideas and look for new solutions – not relying on what we’ve always done but challenging the status quo, including our own.

INTEGRITY

We do the right thing – even when nobody is looking. We don’t compromise our integrity or standards for personal or corporate gain. We always try hard to do the right things and to do things right. When we get things wrong, we own our mistakes, put them right and learn for the future.

HUMANITY

We take a human approach to our work with clients and each other. We’re not corporate and we’re not generic – we take time to understand our client’s unique circumstances, rather than peddling generic solutions. We aim to build up relationships in the long-term. Sometimes we even make friends in the process.

Our People

"Working at Human Engine has been a game changer for my career. My experiences have helped me grow both personally and professionally.

It is great to be part of such a supportive and dynamic team."
