\n\t\tSupporting your career journey\n\t<\/h2>\n\t

Regardless of where you are in your career, our commitment to professional training and development supports your growth and empowers you to achieve your career goals and learning objectives.<\/p>\n

Working alongside industry leading expertise, our People are supported with their development and empowered to make an impact.\u00a0 We invest deeply in growth, providing learning pathways, mentoring and meaningful development opportunities, while cultivating a collaborative environment where teams can connect, celebrate and support each other.<\/p>\n

Mutual Trust University<\/h4>\n

Knowledge sharing and connecting is important to what we do at Mutual Trust. That’s why, every two years, all of our people attend Mutual Trust University – an offsite conference of immersive learning and development held over two to three business days. Along with opportunities to network and connect with peers and leaders, Mutual Trust University enables our people to share valuable insights, learn and further develop their skills.<\/p>\n

Reward and recognition<\/h4>\n

Recognising our high performers is a top priority. Along with our reward and recognition program, we formally recognise and celebrate achievements which align with the Mutual Trust values on a six-monthly basis.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t“I absolutely love the challenge of tackling complex problems in my role. The satisfaction I get from finding creative solutions and making a difference where I can is truly fulfilling. It’s this ability to positively contribute to the Firm which drives my passion for the work I do.”\n\t<\/h2>\n\t

Rose Piper – Executive Assistant, Tax, Accounting, Consulting & Superannuation<\/p>\n

\n\t\tCelebrating diversity, equity and inclusion\n\t<\/h2>\n\t

Our people bring some wonderfully diverse backgrounds, experiences and perspectives to Mutual Trust. This diversity fosters innovation and creativity. It also builds an environment where you feel comfortable to be yourself and contribute to the workplace in a meaningful way.<\/p>\n

This is why our people and our clients enjoy a workplace which reflects the broader community and is supportive and respectful of different groups of individuals. This includes diversity across races, ages, ethnicities, religions, abilities, genders and sexual orientations.<\/p>\n

There are always a broad range of initiatives underway to build on our inclusive workplace culture. These initiatives are led by our Inclusion & Diversity (I&D) Committee, made up of nine senior leaders across the Firm who report to the CEO and the People, Culture and Remuneration Committee.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\"Life\n

\n\t\tEmployer of Choice for Gender Equality\n\t<\/h2>\n\t

We are proud to be recognised as an Employer of Choice by the Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA). This citation verifies Mutual Trust’s action-based approach towards improving the working lives of women and men throughout the Firm.<\/p>\n

Mutual Trust encourages and promotes a commitment to gender equality. Along with supporting the development of our women employees through a formal mentoring program, there are a range of initiatives underway to positively impact the senior gender mix.<\/p>\n

Our gender equality commitment has helped to significantly lift the number of women in senior roles. Currently, women make up 56% of our workforce and 43% of roles at the manager level and above. More broadly, our Partners and Leaders aspire to role model and reinforce the right behaviours to encourage flexibility, collaboration and a supportive work\/life balance.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\"WGEA\n

\n\t\tHealth and wellbeing\n\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\"Health\n\t

We take a holistic approach to health and wellbeing, offering a comprehensive range of resources and initiatives that nurture emotional, physical and social health and empower our People to reach their full potential.<\/p>\n

In addition to an annual health & wellbeing allowance, our people enjoy opportunities to participate in fitness events throughout the year, such as Steptember<\/a> and Run Melbourne<\/a>, along with a weekly run club. Across each of our offices, our healthy workplaces include daily fresh fruit and a stocked kitchen.<\/p>\n\t

A range of valuable and strictly confidential Health and Wellbeing services are accessible for employees and their family members through our partnership with Assure Programs.<\/p>\n

This includes counselling, wellbeing coaching, introductory dietary advice, introductory legal advice and a manager support program.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\"life\n

\n\t\tStaff entertainment\n\t<\/h2>\n\t

We work hard – and we have fun! Throughout the year we hold a wide range of staff entertainment events to suit varied interests and availabilities. This includes end of week socials, morning teas, mid and year-end celebrations, pool tournaments, creative activities, team charity days and footy tipping competitions, to name a few.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tMutual Trust’s Staff Giving Program\n\t<\/h2>\n\t

Our Staff Giving Program enables our people to choose to give their time and contribute through payroll giving to support charities of their choice, with Mutual Trust matching staff fundraising efforts.<\/p>\n

Each year, our people come together voluntarily through this staff-led initiative to make a difference towards a designated area (or areas) of focus.<\/p>\n

In recent years, we have elected to support ending violence against women, climate change, education, homelessness, youth mental health and food insecurity, supporting a number of organisations doing incredibly valuable work in these areas.<\/p>\n“The philanthropy side of the Firm makes me proud to work for Mutual Trust. Staff giving is one way I can contribute to Mutual Trust’s philanthropic efforts and it’s really heartening to see how many of my colleagues are eager to be involved. It really is a good feeling to know that you’ve made a difference and given something back.”<\/em>

\n\t\tOur commitment to Reconciliation\n\t<\/h2>\n\t
