How are we working at the moment?

We offer a hybrid working model, where you can split your time between working from the office and working remotely. You can choose to work in the office two days a week and remotely for three days. (Changing to three days in the office 11th September)You can choose your office base as either Herne Hill or Sutton for this role - you can work from both should you choose.

We believe that hybrid working is the best way to balance the needs of our employees and our business. It allows you to have the flexibility to work from home when you need to, and to come into the office when you need to collaborate with your team or meet with clients.
