Yori adds value - worldwide
27 Apr. 2026
Believe in Everyone is an
Ingeus value that sits particularly close to HR People Partner Yori’s heart. It’s a sentiment she says she benefited from when she joined Ingeus two years ago. It’s also one she reflects in her everyday life here in the UK, and with the charity she founded and tirelessly volunteers for supporting schoolgirls in Nigeria.
A nurse by trade, Yori diversified into wellbeing and functional assessor roles before she was made redundant and spotted the HR vacancy for Ingeus’
Health Assessment Advisory Service in 2024. Delighted that Ingeus believed in her career switching mix of skills, she’s since gone from strength to strength. Her busy role now sees her support and upskill 17 Ingeus managers, while also studying a Level 5 CIPD Apprenticeship, funded and facilitated by Ingeus.
“I like to see people improve their skills and help them reach their full potential,” says Yori, who is 34 and lives with her family in Dartford. “I’m passionate about what I do and I’m passionate about Ingeus. They believe in me. I simply couldn’t work somewhere that didn’t try its very best to live up to its values or didn’t have an ethical core.”
Yori is a committed Christian and along with teaching Sunday school, mentoring young people at her local church, attending five gym visits a week, and enjoying family time with her husband and young son, you’d be forgiven for thinking her time is fully booked… wrong. Since 2021, she’s also been dedicated to the charity she founded along with her mum in Nigeria: the Five Seeds.
Beginning as a lifeline for five destitute children, the Five Seeds Charity has grown to provide disadvantaged Nigerian children with access to education through grants, scholarships, and stipends. Money raised covers school expenses, food, housing and emergency healthcare needs, as well as supporting specific Nigerian orphanages.
In 2026, Yori hopes to raise in excess of £2,500 to fund 20 girls’ scholarships.
“My mum lives in Nigeria and is very active in the local community,” explains Yori, who made the 3,000 mile journey to visit some of the charity’s beneficiaries in 2025. “I utilise my mum’s network, and mine here in the UK to fundraise.
“Visiting Nigeria last year, I used my Ingeus volunteering days to attend the school where some of our charity’s students study. I attended a scholarship ceremony where I was lucky enough to make a speech, meet the children, their parents, and teachers. It was incredibly moving.
“My Ingeus manager has given me some fundraising tips and next month me and 15 friends and colleagues are completing a sponsored step challenge – Planting Every Step – to walk the equivalent distance to Nigeria.
“I believe in serving and caring. I love my work, my family life, and my church – even my studies! I realise that life is very different in Nigeria, without the supportive systems we have here in the UK. For some of those children, no one believes in them. With a little care and respect they have the opportunity to grow and build a different future. So I never mind working hard or taking the next step to help them.”
