As a fully remote agency, working from home (or wherever else you fancy), is our standard but our team spirit and strong culture shines through. We frequently organise meetups to get together, share pictures of our pets and kids, and have that all important face time with colleagues and friends.

Above all, after a fulfilling day’s work, people log off with a smile on their face. Looking after each other is what we’re really proud of.

But, this is a job ad and we get how it needs to work. Other benefits include:

• Competitive salary based on your experience
• Flexibility to work remotely
• 20 days annual leave and 8 days national bank holidays plus extra time around Christmas (based on full time working hours)
• Your birthday off
• Time off to volunteer for local charities to make a difference
• A big good old messy Christmas party and a mid-year summer party (all expenses paid)
• Whatever computer, software, books and other materials you might need
• A healthy budget for whatever training, conferences, and other qualifications you might be interested in taking
• Regular team social activities
