We Are Inclusive
Working Hours and Flexible Working
Our full-time employees are contracted to work 35 hours per week. We offer a range of flexible working patterns where possible to assist with a work/life balance and welcome applications from people wishing to work on a part-time or job share basis. We also operate a flextime scheme that allows you to alter your start and finish times and take hours back that you have accrued. Most of our roles are available for hybrid working.
Investors In People
We demonstrate our commitment to the Investors in People standard by fostering a supportive and engaging work environment. We focus on continuous professional development, ensuring that employees are well supported and encouraged to reach their full potential. We prioritise staff wellbeing, psychological safety, flexible working practices, and nurture a culture of equity, diversity and inclusion. By investing in training, feedback, and transparent communication, we align with the values required to maintain this accreditation, showcasing our dedication to staff growth and organisational excellence.

As part of our dedication to fair and equitable treatment of employees we are committed to being a Real Living Wage employer. We ensure all staff receive a wage that reflects the true cost of living, beyond the statutory minimum. By adopting this standard, we support the wellbeing, motivation, and financial stability of our people, promoting an inclusive and positive work culture. This initiative aligns with our broader commitment to social responsibility and fostering a supportive, sustainable working environment.
