What we offer

Hybrid Working 

Hybrid working is our informal and flexible arrangement that supports the majority of our roles to follow a 'balanced' hybrid working approach. This means that you will be expected to work from the office for a minimum of 50% of your time, and then have the option to work remotely depending on business needs for the rest of that time. This balance is generally considered over a two-week period. Our working environment at home is just as important. This is recognised as being crucial in today's world, so to ensure you are safely and properly equipped when working from home, the firm provides a remote working allowance to purchase items related to home office equipment.
