Flexible working

Life is busy and we all want to enjoy a healthy work/life balance. That's why we offer flexible working hours. And if it's practical for your role, we also offer hybrid working. You can split your hours between your home and our offices in Brentry and Long Ashton. We think this is a good way to work - it gives you the convenience of working from home and the camaraderie of being with colleagues in the office.

"I took on the role as E-Commerce Manager three years ago, after a career as a manager with Aldi. I wanted a job that suited my interests more and involved daytime hours rather than the shifts that I'd been working."

Building diverse teams

We want our teams to reflect the diversity of our community - and we want everyone to feel that they belong. That's why we've joined ENEI: Employers Network for Equality and Inclusion. This is a UK based, not-for-profit organisation that helps employers build and maintain diverse teams and inclusive cultures. We're really pleased to have ENEI supporting us on our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion journey. 

Just as we offer care to all, we welcome applications from everyone. We want to hear from you regardless of your age, disability, religion or belief, sex, race, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, and pregnancy and maternity.  

We're proud to be a Disability Confident Committed employer. That means we make five commitments to our candidates and employees:

  • We offer inclusive and accessible recruitment processes
  • We communicate and promote vacancies
  • We offer interviews to disabled people
  • We provide reasonable adjustments
  • We support existing employees with disabilities

We've got a new look

You may notice that our website has a new look. Research carried out last year revealed there were many barriers to people accessing our support, so our refreshed branding aims to help break down misconceptions about who we are and what we do. 

This is part of a bigger piece of work for us - we're aiming to double the number of people we support by 2030.
