What's in it for you?
Coming up with a strict set of rules that work for every team and individual in a business as diverse as ours isn’t possible. Instead, we have BRighter Working, a framework to find ways of working that give us individually and collectively a great experience, while continuing to provide the highest quality service to our clients when and where they need us. This is inclusive of:
• Hybrid working– where teams are working together in multiple locations i.e. a BR office, a client site, their home or somewhere else
• Synchronous/Asynchronous working– using the office or technology to work together at the same time / using technology and different ways of working to work at different times to colleagues.
• Smarter working– finding simpler, more efficient ways of delivering services to clients and working together as a BR team. These can be tech-enabled but may also be simple changes to our processes
• Flexible working– a temporary or permanent change to someone’s terms and conditions which fixes a working pattern different to the standard contract
Pension – Looking after your future self when it’s time to step back and relax.
25 days annual leave + bank holidays – Time to focus on what’s important to you.
Permanent Health Insurance – Financial protection in the event of illness or injury.
Life Assurance – 4 x times salary, our family is important to us, and so is yours.
Employee Referral Bonus – We’re always looking for talented individuals to join our family.
Employee Benefits Portal – Cashback and vouchers on everyday purchases.
Opportunity to attend social events – Time to stop, pause and have fun.
Career Coaching – Better never stops. Sharing our time to make the best use of yours.
