About Widgit
Who we are
We’re a growing company of enthusiastic, dedicated individuals who share a passion for what we do, and how we do it. From expert educators to some of the brightest nerds around, we’re a kind bunch of people who want to do good in the world.
We understand the importance of work-life balance, and are proud to operate a mostly hybrid working model, with flexible working patterns and hours also available.
For those days we do work in the office, we offer a comfortable, colourful setting to accomodate the needs of all staff members - from fully adjustable work stations to EV charging points (and not forgetting ample tea and coffee)!
Looking after our people
We wouldn't be Widgit without our people. That’s why we’re committed to fostering a workplace that nurtures and rewards its staff.
From our generous and regularly reviewed benefits package (including comprehensive Bupa Select cover) to planting your own tree, we prioritise the health and wellbeing of our team - both at work and at home.
As a Living Wage employer, we are committed to paying our staff members based on the cost of living, while also benchmarking our practices to guarantee that all staff are fairly compensated and valued for their contributions.
When it comes to personal and professional development, we encourage our staff to embrace our values of integrity, quality and kindness to ensure they achieve their full potential – whatever their future goals.
