Ingeus achieves Advanced SHINE accreditation status in the North East

15 Sep 2025

Ingeus has been awarded the Advanced level SHINE Accreditation, recognising a commitment to creating a fair, inclusive, and empowering workplace for all.

The SHINE Accreditation, developed by the North East Combined Authority, celebrates employers who go above and beyond in the five Beams Good Practice: Health and Wellbeing, Social Responsibility, Employee Voice, Inclusive Opportunities, and Fair Work and Pay. Achieving the Advanced level places Ingeus among the region’s leading organisations for workplace excellence.

Juliet Mortiss, People and Culture Director, said:
“This recognition reflects the heart of our culture at Ingeus. We believe in supporting every individual to thrive, and SHINE has helped us benchmark and build on that commitment. This recognition not only validates our internal culture but also strengthens our reputation as a socially responsible employer, helping us attract and retain people who share our values and want to make a meaningful impact.”

North East Mayor Kim McGuinness said: 
“Shine sends a clear and powerful message: good work matters. Well done on this achievement, it’s a clear sign that your organisation is leading by example when it comes to fair and inclusive employment.”

By achieving Advanced SHINE Accreditation, Ingeus reinforces its role as a people-first organisation, one that leads by example in creating inclusive, supportive, and high-quality employment across the region.
