Creating agility through flexibility

We’re a flexible-first organisation, because we know people do their best work when they have choice and clarity. To support meaningful collaboration in our offices, we ask everyone to spend at least eight days a month connecting with each other in person.

That doesn’t just mean time in the office – it could be team meetings, offsites, volunteering days, cross-functional projects, or away days. What matters is making those moments count – so when we come together, it benefits everyone.

If you're in one of our customer facing roles, speak to one of the team to see what this looks like for you.

Plenty of perks & benefits

Family friendliness

Our people say...

Bradley Ashton, Paternity Leave
The extended leave was amazing for me to bond with my little girl, for my wife to rest, for us to create wonderful family memories. With up to 14 weeks' paid Paternity leave, we'll both be forever grateful that my employer understands that raising a newborn isn't just a mother's responsibility."
Bradley Ashton, Paternity Leave
Nigel Tivey, Neonatal Leave
When my son was born over 20 years ago, he was 10 weeks premature and spent 8 weeks in the Special Care Baby Unit (SCABU). He's now a strapping lad and also works at Virgin Media 02 as a planner. I understand just how important it is to have up to 12 weeks' additional paid Neonatal Leave, and hope that it'll help parents just like me.”
Nigel Tivey, Neonatal Leave
Sabrina Nneke, Carer's Leave
My dad's in sheltered accommodation and technology isn't something he's comfortable with. I help him with his medication as well as sorting out his banking. I also support my eldest son who's at university and has Aspergers Syndrome. Having such a generous carer's policy allows me to take the time out of the day to help my family, without dipping into my annual leave. Our Family Friendly policies feel like an authentic step towards supporting our people in the moments that matter.”
