We believe that a supported flexible working approach helps us to retain valued colleagues, enhance wellbeing, increase motivation and encourage a healthy work/life balance. If you’re interviewed, ask about the flexibility involved in this role.
Our Values
Our stakeholders expect us to act in an ethical and responsible way and this is at the heart of how we conduct our business. Our values support this philosophy, and we seek out and reward behaviours that will make us more sustainable, responsible and successful. Our values are- we succeed together; we do the right thing; we’re trusted and valued; and we’re brave and creative. You’ll hear more about these throughout the interview process.
Our STAR Awards provide a fantastic platform to send a special thank you to a colleague who may have gone above and beyond to help you and the business succeed, or someone who has been brave and creative with their own approach to how they work. Values orientated, our Recognition Scheme plays a pivotal role in aligning and celebrating our culture and simply wouldn’t exist without colleague participation and input.
Our Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Commitment
We’re committed to investing responsibly and supporting our local communities and charitable organisations. Every colleague is encouraged to take a paid day each calendar year to volunteer for our nominated charities. Internally we are very proud of our four colleague-led engagement groups, who run events/initiatives, that promote our culture and values which is a key part of the life blood of this business.
