    🏖 Flexibility
    Lamplight works hard to support people with flexible working hours. They're willing to think through what's actually needed rather then implementing a one size fits all policy.

    📣 Mission & Purpose
    Lamplight's purpose is to ensure that charities can use their data to best effect. The focus is on the charity, and the product evolves to reflect that.

    Although Lamplight is largely a remote working organisation, they work hard to try to ensure that everyone feels that they belong. They welcome views and ideas from all employees and are flexible in working patterns.

    Overall

    We share a motivation to help charities make the difference they want to make and this connects us in terms of clear vision, values, on-going development and the enjoyment of what we do. Support within the team is extremely strong with everyone sharing knowledge and advice on the system itself and the training that charities need to manage and utilise their data effectively. It’s a privilege to play a part in the digital journeys of so many incredible organisations and Lamplight clearly value and appreciate the part we each play in making this happen.

    ⛑ Employee wellbeing
    The company is very person centred and everyone is an individual, has value, is respected, and with a voice that is heard. Asking for help is actively encouraged. Regular check-ins with my line manager is always a pleasure and I get told off for not clocking off on time, with a genuine concern that my workload my to too much!

    🥰 Employee recognition
    Lamplight recognises and encourages you to grow within the organisation, it's important to the company that everyone's achievements are recognised and celebrated. Everyone has an opinion which is valued, be it reviewing processes, or ideas for product updates, the whole team is invited to play a part.

    👩‍👧‍👧 Team members
    Everyone at Lamplight is a member of the team, it's more like being a member of a community than a place of work. Everyone is genuinely interested not only in your work, but also you as a person.

    Overall

    As a remote worker, working from home, there is always that feeling that your at a distance from everyone and out on your own. Lamplight have completely removed that concern. With social events, training sessions, reviews, catch-ups, team meetings, morning meetings, on-line socials, I truly feel connected to the whole team, management included.

    Joining Lamplight has been an empowering and enlightening experience, something I would recommend!
