We recognise that flexibility is really important to our diverse workforce.  We know that our team members have many other aspects to their lives – carer’s responsibilities, personal interests, volunteer activities etc. We are committed to supporting our team to integrate work into the rest of their lives.

Flexibility can be seen in – for example - your working hours, and your working location. I think the George being a flexible environment is what makes this a really special place to work
