Why Capgemini Stands Out

At Capgemini, we don't just believe in Diversity & Inclusion; we actively work to make it a reality. Driven by our core values and Active Inclusion Campaign, we foster environments where you can bring your whole self to work.

We strive to create a workplace that promotes a positive work-life balance. Through our New Normal campaign, we aim to embed hybrid working into our daily operations, making flexible working arrangements a standard practice for our employees.

Employee wellbeing is crucial to our organization. We view a healthy and happy workforce as a key component in achieving our organizational goals. To support wellbeing, we have trained 'Mental Health Champions' across our business areas and invested in wellbeing apps such as Thrive and Peppy.

Collaboration and Innovation

We believe in creating partnerships with our clients. Utilizing our Accelerated Solutions Environment (ASE), you will gain insights into customer needs and challenges, demonstrate innovative solutions, and collaboratively solve problems. This approach fosters unexpected discoveries together.

Learning and Development Opportunities

There is an abundance of learning opportunities at Capgemini, with various ways to engage. You will have unique training opportunities, including the chance for some consultants to attend conferences in locations such as Les Fontaine (near Paris, France). Beyond dedicated training, collaboration is encouraged across all teams, ensuring everyone supports one another.

Corporate Social Responsibility

We are committed to leveraging technology for positive social impact. Our efforts include reducing our carbon footprint and enhancing access to the digital world. We take this commitment seriously, as evidenced by our recognition as one of the world's most ethical companies by the Ethisphere Institute for the 10th consecutive year. When you join Capgemini, you become part of a team dedicated to doing the right thing.

While your office base may be flexible, you must be adaptable regarding assignment locations, as these roles may require periods away from home at short notice.

We offer a competitive remuneration package that includes flexible benefits options tailored to your personal circumstances, along with a variable component based on grade and individual performance.

To commence a role with Capgemini UK plc, you will need to provide documentary proof of your eligibility to live and work in the UK prior to joining the company.
