Flexible working
As an employer of choice, we recognize that you exist outside of the office and that everyone has different interests and commitments. When you can excel in your personal life, you’ll bring that drive and passion to work. That’s why flexible working is a vital part of our collective success. You’ll be trusted to achieve your best at work, while structuring your time around what matters to you.
Employee Assistance Programme
Everyone – at some point in their lives – needs support. And our Employee Assistance Programme offers a continuum of wellbeing resources to address your emotional, practical and physical needs. The Programme provides you with immediate and confidential help, to support and guide you through all of life’s events and challenges and resources are offered 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
