Where Will I Be Working?
At VWV we have a truly unique and engaging culture that we hold dear. We work hard but we also love to have fun and we recognise that it's the social interaction between us that really embeds our culture. Covid demonstrated our ability to work effectively as a business from home, resulting in the adoption of a hybrid model of office and home working. We have a "grown-up" working culture and try to be flexible and agile in the way we work. You'll be expected to work from the Bristol office at least 2 days per week.
So Who Are We Hoping Will Apply?
