Benefits
- All the best bits of Facilities in a truly varied role. We work closely with service providers and suppliers across all our office locations, which allows our Reception & Office Administrators to focus their time on contributing to exciting new projects and improvements that optimise the Facilities functions and enhance the productivity and wellbeing of our entire workforce. These projects include but are not limited to; our exciting London office move due to take place in 2025, our net carbon zero project, and the management and improvement of Costello Medical’s corporate social responsibility, as recognised by B Corporation.
- Have your say and shape your own career. Given the rapid and organic growth the company has seen over the last few years, our Facilities team is relatively small. Your voice matters; you will have a significant influence in team decisions, and will be able to choose specific areas you’d like to specialise in. Whether you are most passionate about the day-to-day running of the office, or driving important projects forward within the team, you will be encouraged to take your career in a direction that challenges you to meet your own goals.
- Contribute towards something bigger than Facilities. Our customers are some of the industry’s most successful pharmaceutical and medical technology companies, patient and public health bodies, and charitable organisations. As a company, we are committed to improving healthcare globally, and by ensuring the smooth and efficient running of our office spaces, you are directly contributing towards this commitment. You will also be supporting a company that believes in corporate and social responsibility, and will be able to give back to the local community through funded volunteering and pro bono days.
- A workforce that respects and values you. Based on our commitment to quality and providing an excellent service, it is very easy to build positive, trusting, and respectful relationships with those you support, both directly and indirectly. The difference you make to the office environment will be recognised and cherished by those around you, allowing you to feel like a valued and integral part of the company.
- We are invested in our culture. We are committed to our company values which promote a fun, friendly, and innovative workplace in which we strive to deliver the highest standards of quality. As a result, we have been listed in The Top 100 Companies to Work For list for over six consecutive years, and achieved B Corporation certification in 2022. These values are embraced within the entire company, including the Facilities team.
