As a modern, forward-looking business, Shielder Capital strives to offer you an exciting and stimulating career against a backdrop of diversity, inclusion and equal opportunity. We also function as a meritocracy. This approach to appreciating and valuing our people is designed to attract, develop and retain the best talent – regardless of background.

Beyond equity on our balance sheet, people are our most valuable asset.

So we have introduced what we call a People Deal, underpinned by core values that set the tone in a number of ways. First, we have agreed expectations on all sides regarding explicit and implicit behaviour.

These are central to providing a working environment in which SHIELDERns are treated fairly, can perform to the best of their ability and are encouraged to share different views. Diversity is about uncovering and nurturing all talent, and talent stems from the right mixture of people, perspectives and approaches. Inclusion is about creating a constructive environment that allows this mixture of talent to flourish and develop. Overall, this has laid an important foundation for our company – a key priority in empowering our talented people to climb the career ladder.

Shielder Capital is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace. Our philosophy is to treat people with fairness and respect, and we are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, colour, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity, veteran status or family circumstances. 

We have a comprehensive family leave policy that covers maternity, paternity, adoption, shared parental arrangements, individual parental needs, time off for dependents, flexible working, compassionate leave, additional paid leave, jury service and situations requiring unpaid leave.
