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

25 days annual leave + bank holidays – Time to focus on what’s important to you.
Private Medical Insurance – Taking care of your health. One less thing to worry about.
