Audley Group, a pioneering retirement village developer, is dedicated to enhancing the lives of its customers and over 750 employees. Established in 2000 with the opening of Audley Willicombe Park, the Group now oversees 23 villages, housing 1200 owners. The team, drawn from diverse departments, fosters a supportive one-team approach, ensuring customers enjoy independent, vibrant lives.

Employee engagement is paramount, with Mental Health First Aiders, an Employee Assistance Programme, and private counselling services readily accessible. A Virtual GP service and nutritionist consultations promote physical wellbeing while the 'Medicash' programme offers self-help resources, discounted gym memberships and cash back for various health interventions.

The Group's Spirit platform facilitates company-wide communication, recognition, and peer-to-peer nomination for the annual Spirit Awards. The organisation also hosts local events such as bake-offs and fun runs at Blenheim Palace, fostering camaraderie among employees.

Audley Group's senior team champions the company's values and principles, demonstrating commitment through regular business briefings, appreciation programmes and village visits. The Audley Academy provides internal learning and development, including leadership training and apprenticeships, ensuring continuous personal growth and succession planning for internal vacancies.

Charitable initiatives are a cornerstone of the Audley Group ethos. The independent Audley Foundation fundraises to improve the lives of older people, with employees actively involved in raising money for local and national charities. In short, Audley Group is more than a retirement village developer; it is a community devoted to enriching lives.
