Their ‘family’ is tight-knit and values-driven. They believe culture is king. Their work, by nature of the industry, is incredibly fast-paced, but in the creative madness of it all, they prioritise people and place equality, respect and kindness at the fore. They lean on each other’s strengths and invest in each other’s growth and development. They are socially aware and purpose driven in everything they do.
Our client understands life commitments. While the hours per week for this role cumulate to 25 hours and aren’t fixed (which makes it difficult to hold other fixed commitments during working hours aka another part time job), they will accommodate things like PT in the morning and picking the kids up at a certain time. They don’t want you to bring work home.
