Hear about our recent new starter’s experience…
“I am loving the Vitality atmosphere and people, I feel very comfortable that for the first time in my working life, this might be the right place for me to progress with my career and be happy at my workplace, which is something not easy to find. I have felt welcomed and included since day one and the more I know the company and the people around, the more I love it.
My onboarding experience was very good and smooth. I applied through a third party recruiter and the whole process was very straight forward, after a couple of formal and informal interviews I was offered the role!”
Rosmery – Associate Technical Delivery Manager

Recently, we donated £229,300 (£100 on behalf of each Vitality employee) to Unicef’s emergency Ukraine appeal to help them deliver life-saving services and support to children in need.
We also support three children’s charities: Julia’s House in Bournemouth, Francis House in Stockport, and Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children in London. Our Healthy Giving scheme converts fitness points clocked by employees into donations to these charities.
