How we work at BPP

We have offices all over the UK, however our Product & Tech roles are primarily based out of our offices in London (Waterloo). Our overarching flexible working principle is - We're all trusted, engaged in what we do, and are all individually best placed to balance the varying demands on our time from work, family and any other commitments we might have.

The emphasis is on looking after our responsibilities and achieving great things, not watching the clock. Unless you're a remote worker, we expect you to be in the office a couple of times a week, aligned to the days your colleagues are in, to build better relationships and get the benefits of face-to-face communications, as well as those ad hoc discussions that aid problem solving.
