**About Workhappy**

We’re a small and rapidly growing tech startup in the ergonomics and wellbeing space. Our mission is to make life less painful for people who work at screens and the companies that employ them.

We perform thousands of display screen equipment (DSE) assessments across the whole UK including for organisations like Netflix, NHS, Visa, Gallagher and Thoughtworks.

Our technology makes workstation assessments easy to schedule and easy to complete, to make the job enjoyable for both our users and our assessors. We are at the vanguard of responding to changing technologies, office environments and working practices.

Unlike our competitors, we don’t use assessments as a way to push people into buying expensive products they don’t need. We care about what’s best for the individual, so you’ll never have to turn your assessment into a sales pitch.

We offer a competitive salary and the opportunity to grow and move within the company to learn a range of new skills. You’ll receive a work phone, laptop, full home desk setup and paid travel opportunities. We’re offering a permanent contract and 20 days annual leave plus bank holidays.
