**What we offer**:
Our ways of working at Formative Content have shifted enormously due to the coronavirus pandemic. We are now operating a hybrid working model, which is predominantly remote working, with the option to come into our Beaconsfield office. We’re therefore happy for our new team member to be located anywhere within the UK, on the understanding that there will be times that visits to the office will be required - perhaps once or twice a month.

We have been fortunate to shift most of our culture, personal development and leadership principles to a hybrid work environment. We believe that working at Formative Content is more than just a job. We work hard to build and maintain a fun, close-knit, high-performing and engaging culture. Every team member has an Individual Learning & Development plan which serves as a roadmap for their development activities throughout the year. Due to our growth story, we have the unique ability to offer opportunities and a career trajectory that few agencies can match. At the end of the day, we want our team members to not only love their work but the company as well. If this sounds like the right fit for you, we look forward to hearing from you.

In return for your talent, we will provide one of the best working environments you’ve experienced. This will include mindful leadership, support through flexible working, ongoing personal development and an unwavering commitment to enable you to thrive in your role. On top of this we offer:

- Profit-sharing scheme
- 28 days paid holiday (with three of those days to be taken between Christmas and New Year)
- An additional day off for your birthday each year
- Priv
