Working for us
We know that placing the right people in the right roles ensures that everyone can be successful. Our role then is to provide them with the platform and support for them to progress and excel.
Our people are our greatest asset
None of our success would be possible without the expertise of our people. That’s why it’s important to us that every person is given the opportunity to grow and develop their capability. As the needs of our clients change, this provides opportunity to challenge and advance our colleagues.
Through personal development plans and structured programmes – we provide all the tools for our people to progress their careers.
We’re an Armed Forces Friendly employer, and welcome applications submitted by people from all walks of life – as part of our commitment as an Armed Forces Covenant Employer Recognition Scheme Silver Award holder. We’re also a Disability Confident certification holder, our commitment to our colleagues that we’ll support them to create a work environment that works best for them.
At NRL we’re also passionate about identifying opportunities for apprentice and trainee roles, to welcome new talent into our businesses and help provide them the training and opportunities to build a rewarding career – as a proud signatory of the Social Mobility Pledge.
Join a Great Place To Work®
It’s important to us to know that our colleagues are happy, have the support and resources needed to do their jobs, and feel confident to reach out when they need help. That’s why in 2024 we worked with Great Place To Work® to anonymously survey our workforce – asking these very same questions, and more.
97% of our colleagues agreed that the NRL Group is a great place to work, and 99% said they were made to feel welcome when they joined the business. Reflecting on the role they play to support our businesses, 95% felt a sense of pride in what they accomplish. We couldn’t be happier to know that colleagues enjoy working with us, and that colleague feedback has earned us an official certification™ as a Great Place To Work®.
Nurturing success
We understand that we are more likely to remain successful when our people are motivated and are working in an environment where they feel valued, and that’s why we’re proud of the culture we have created.
We work hard to provide our teams with the best possible experience working with us, and in doing so, know that we can then offer the best client service.
Above all we actively promote a culture of health, safety and wellbeing. Recognising the importance of good ideas and encouraging colleagues to innovate and take charge of their work – supporting them to achieve their full potential.
We’re a Living Wage Employer
We’re delighted to have been accredited as a Living Wage Employer. By signing up to this voluntary scheme, we’re able to ensure we can continue to provide our colleagues with a wage that can more realistically take care of the needs of their family and home, as well as being representative of the value we associate with the outstanding work they deliver within our businesses.
Through our membership with the Living Wage Foundation we are keen to ensure that we continue to pay our colleagues fair and liveable wages in line with the annual hourly pay rate review each year, and join the growing list of UK organisations amplifying this important message.
33% of our colleagues have worked at the NRL Group for more than 10 years
