Hybrid workplace

We endeavour to support our people to make sure work… well, works for them. And the pretty big issue of the recent global pandemic has propelled us into working more flexibly than ever before. We’re using the lessons learnt over this period to evolve our approach to flexible working, and we’ve introduced a 2:3 hybrid working week. So the NOTHS team get to work flexibly for the majority of the week, and visit beautiful Richmond twice a week to ensure we all still get together as one #teamNOTHS. Plus, for 2022 we’ve begun trialling fully remote months in January (to avoid the snow) and August (to enjoy the sun). #teamNOTHS
