Benefits: We offer 25 days holiday, as well as two “Good Days” for volunteering or a course. In addition, the office closes between Christmas and New Year each year. We want our team to feel able to make more sustainable travel choices for their holidays, so we offer up to two additional paid days for “slow travel” for holidays.
