Health & Lifestyle Wellbeing
-
Most of us, at some point, need to balance work with personal responsibilities. Our flexible working approach and policy give you the space to do this … whether it’s an informal, occasional arrangement or a more formal, long-term change.
Examples include:
- General flexibility to balance work and personal needs on an ad-hoc or regular basis
- Working remotely/from home
- Formal arrangements such as changing days or hours, job sharing, career breaks, or phased retirement
- Buying additional holiday each year
-
We believe in fostering a diverse and inclusive environment where every colleague is respected and valued.
Through our actions, behaviours, education, and clear supporting policies, we are committed to ensuring equal and inclusive treatment for all, regardless of background. Discrimination has no place here … whether in our workplaces, communities, or recruitment processes.
Our colleague-led Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) bring this commitment to life, with around a fifth of employees involved in groups covering race, gender, disability, and more.
We are also firmly committed to a safe working environment, free from bullying, harassment (including sexual harassment), and victimisation … and we do not tolerate breaches of these standards.
Our policies, alongside ongoing education, are designed to make sure that every employee is treated, and treats others, with dignity and respect.
-
We offer a whole range of personal, parental and family-related policies, benefits and leave, to cover everything from maternity, paternity, adoption, neo-natal, emergency, carer and bereavement leave, through to jury service and time out for School Governors.
-
Our regional Employee Assistance Programmes provide free, confidential support to you and your direct family members on a wide range of personal, health, wellbeing, and financial matters!
-
The EAP is a completely confidential and impartial service, and you can call as often as you need, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The specialists providing the EAP services are bound by strict ethical codes of conduct and anything you share will be treated in the strictest confidence. All you need to do, when calling, is to confirm that you work for Victrex.
Victrex values diversity and encourages applications from all sections of the community.
