  • The charity is serious about looking after its employees, which is really important to me.

    Manager, 9 years' service

  • The offer of working a 9-day fortnight is such a huge benefit. It allows me to have a better work-life balance and come into work feeling refreshed and focused.

    Senior Advisor, 10 months' service

  • I get to work alongside some of the friendliest and reliable people and I have been trusted and encouraged by my own manager since day one. The people really do make Independent Age what it is.

    Manager, 7 months' service

  • Working at Independent Age I feel valued as an employee and feel that my employer has genuinely put consideration into creating the best possible work environment. This includes big things like the 9-day fortnight, but also filters into the everyday culture.
