Opportunites at Bauer Media
Who we are and what we do
In the UK we reach 25 million consumers through our portfolio which includes heat, KISS, Grazia, Empire, Motor Cycle News, Parkers, TV Choice, Take a Break, Bella, Magic and Absolute Radio. We believe that our scale, coupled with the breadth of our portfolio, gives us an advantage over pure play magazine or radio competitors. It also gives us a huge responsibility - our brands become the lens through which our audiences see the world, and for this reason, we take our responsibilities as a media outlet very seriously, recognising that we are responsible for shaping perceptions in the wider world.
Working at Bauer Media
Quite simply, our promise to you is that Bauer Media is a great place to do great work with great people.
Our people take an enormous amount of pride in the brands they support. They like their team members, and they feel supported by their managers. We all take collective responsibility for our culture, because we know it has a ripple effect across our brands. That’s why our culture of inclusion at work, Belonging at Bauer, is at the heart of everything we do. Belonging at Bauer is about our dual goals of being as representative as we can of the audiences we serve, and about creating a working environment where all our people feel able to bring their whole selves to work every day. It’s part of everything we do, and everyone who works here is responsible. If you join us, you’ll be an important part of this as well.
When we talk about inclusion at work, we mean all the things which show that every person who works in and with our business is valued and supported. This takes many different forms, from beginning conversations with our people about inclusion and bias, to the exciting events we’ve held to celebrate Black History Month and Eid, through to our focus on Mental Health, and our wonderful LGBTQ+ network. We encourage our people to get involved with activities like this which make a big difference to how they feel at work, and we showcase role models from all the different groups working at Bauer – you can’t be what you can’t see, so we want to ensure that everyone who works at Bauer can see relatable role models to whom they can aspire. We also want to ensure that people have routes to call things out if they don’t feel right. We work hard to ensure that we have multiple routes for people to do this in a way which they feel comfortable with, which will enable us to resolve issues rapidly.
Our Commitment to Inclusivity at Work
A Level Playing Field
Inclusion is one of our core values at Bauer Media, and we want to make sure that everyone who works with us feels they belong at Bauer. We want a level playing field for anyone who wants to come and work at Bauer. Therefore, if you require any adjustments to an interview process, please feel free to get in touch with HR.administration@bauermedia.co.uk who will be happy to talk through any adjustments you need in complete confidence and make arrangements on your behalf.
Adjustments can be whatever you need them to be, whether that’s around accessibility, preparation time and space, or just travel expenses to get you to the interview. Let us know what you need, and we’ll do everything we can to make sure you’re getting a fair opportunity to succeed.
Flexibility at Bauer
We want to make sure that we find the right people to work in our teams, and we know that the traditional 9-5, five days a week doesn’t suit everyone. So we’d love to hear from you if you feel you’re a great fit for one of our roles, and would like to work flexibly. It may not be possible for all of our roles, but don’t let that discourage you from asking the question.
We know that the best people aren’t always the ones who work traditional patterns, and this is shown for people already making flexibility work for them at Bauer. People like Ben, our Deputy Director of Music at Magic.
Re-starting your career at Bauer
At Bauer, we know that a CV with gaps doesn’t make any difference to how likely someone is to be successful here. Our own brilliant Vic Easton-Riley is a fantastic example of someone whose career is really flying at Bauer after a break. So if you’ve taken a career break for any reason, and want to get back into the workplace, we’d love you to apply for a role with us.
If you want to talk to someone about this before you make an application, you can get in touch with a member of our HR team for a chat, in confidence, by contacting HR.administration@bauermedia.co.uk.
Our work on mental health at work
We’re proud to be the driving force behind the “Where’s your head at?” campaign, which is working to put Mental Health First Aiders on an equal footing with traditional workplace first aiders. We have Mental Health First Aiders working across the majority of our UK locations, and will have 100% coverage by the end of 2019.
