Great place to work

Our success depends on providing an environment in which our employees can flourish.

Our culture

We have an open, honest culture that's based on mutual trust and respect.
We're committed to helping our people fulfil their potential. You'll find many exciting opportunities and challenges with Centrica. Our team working ethos and strong sense of community contribute to our success not just as individuals but as part of the greater team.
Everyone is rewarded fairly for their efforts, recognising the valuable contribution we make to the business.

We're proud of what we do and are continually striving to be better. But don't just take our word for it! As we continually strive to become a better business and a better place to work, we are comparing ourselves against, and looking to learn from, the best organisations in the world. In fact, parts of our organisation have recently been ranked #3 in the Financial Times Best Places to Work and in the top 50 of the UK's Best Companies to Work For according to the Sunday Times.

Employee engagement

We listen to our employees and we care about what our employees think. We promote two-way involvement in decision-making at all levels of the organisation and have initiatives in place for measuring employees' perceptions. For example, listening to feedback from our employees is just as important to us as gaining feedback from our customers.

Diversity

We value individuality and are committed to creating a truly inclusive workplace.
We've been recognised as an 'Exemplar Employer' by Opportunity Now and are eighth in the annual Female FTSE benchmarking report, which is based on research from Cranfield University.

Work-life balance

We value our people and want to build long-term relationship together. This means we're committed to thinking creatively about ways of working that will help you achieve a healthy work-life balance.

We have a flexible working policy and support requests for flexible working arrangements wherever possible. In particular, we provide support for those employees who have caring responsibilities - whether for a member of the family or for a close friend.

Employee wellbeing

The health, safety and security of our employees is the priority.
Our occupational health teams and well-established systems are geared to support you in maintaining a productive and healthy life with our business.
