Our colleagues' wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do at OFG, so we're always looking for new ways to improve everyone's work/life balance. We're participating in a trial of the 4-Day Working Week, meaning that you could be working one day less a week (or equivalent).
If the trial is successful, we'll implement the 4DWW across the Group - so there's never been a more exciting time to join!
If you want to make your mark in a rapidly growing business committed to improving the lives of pupils, we have the role for you!
