Life at UKSBS

We value our employees and recognise the importance of ongoing professional development, supporting you to achieve your goals whether you're starting out or building on existing experience. Our in-house expertise is vast, whether you're interested in learning more about a particular type of software, you need to work on your presentation skills, or you want to develop your ability to influence and negotiate skills, we will support you.

We work a mixture of full and part-time hours across a 37-hour week (full time), with start times varying between 8.00 and 9.30am. Our hybrid working model offers flexibility, balancing time spent working from home with time in the office for collaboration, training and team connection. While most colleagues work remotely for much of the week, we generally expect everyone to spend 20% of their time in their office location. This can vary depending on business needs, and there may be times when we ask you to be on-site more frequently to support key activities or team priorities.

Our team is made up of individuals with various levels of experience and from different working backgrounds. We have offices based in Swindon, Newport and Stockton-on-Tees and you can choose to work from the most suitable location for you. We don't expect you to know all the answers straight away, we are always on hand to help support you and share our knowledge. We provide full training for all our new joiners which helps you get a good overview of what we deliver, our processes and how to use our systems. This training typically takes place on-site in your first few weeks.

We are an inclusive and Disability Confident employer and welcome all applications. UKSBS does not hold a Home Office Sponsor Licence under the UK Immigration System, therefore candidates are required to have eligibility to live and work in the UK prior to applying. We look forward to hearing from you.

We are UKSBS. We are creating a place where people love to work, a culture where we lead, we change, we deliver and we empower our people to be curious, take action and add value.
