Careers

At Connect, you have so much more than just a job. You have a purpose.

You are part of a team that puts people first and believes that a good home, a good neighbourhood, good health and good prospects are within everyone's reach.

You work alongside others to come up with better ways of doing things. You listen carefully, to understand. You think creatively to solve problems.

And you take pride in knowing that you are making a difference - one day at a time.

We want you to enjoy a happy and fulfilling career with Connect.

We love the idea of growing our own talent, which is why we have made your learning a high priority.

You and your manager will plan your development on a regular basis to match your individual needs and where you want to be.

We know learning isn’t just about training courses.  We create opportunities to get involved in different projects and pieces of work that are stretching, rewarding and provide new opportunities and challenges.

We will challenge you to be your best and help you lay a path for future success.

In return for your hard work and commitment to Connect, we will offer you:

• Generous annual leave.
• Enhanced family leave.
• A health cash plan.
• A 24-hr confidential employee assistance programme when you need some extra help, and someone to talk to.
• Flexible working arrangements to help employees manage life and work in the way that works for them.
• An occupational pension scheme, up to 9% matched contribution.
• Substantial investment in learning and development.
• Cycle to work scheme.

You will also be automatically signed up to MyPlace, our benefits platform, which provides a range of perks, discounts and wellbeing resources for you and your family.

We know how much you give to Connect, so we are here for you too. At some point, we all feel a bit weighed down. Here at Connect, you will find support and understanding.

We’ve made it as easy as possible to get confidential emotional, medical and/or legal support should you need it. Available anytime, any day, support is just a telephone call or website away.

Our 24-hour confidential employee assistance programme offers professional support when you need it.

We also have a Mental Health Champions scheme. These are colleagues at Connect that you can go to if you're having any problems with your mental health. They will listen to you and help you to get the support you need.

It is important everyone feels at home here.

We value diversity in all its forms and are deeply committed to having a fair and inclusive culture where everyone feels welcomed and involved. 

We take time to listen and treat each other with respect because we understand we all have different talents, thoughts, feelings and experiences. It's this diversity that creates a vibrant, open-minded and collaborative culture at Connect.

We also have an EDI working group made up of 14 colleagues from across Connect, which oversees progress against our EDI Action Plan.

The job you do is vitally important and we take it very seriously.

But it is equally important you let off steam and enjoy yourself too.

At Connect we enjoy getting together and having some fun. From team parties and online quizzes, to fundraising ventures and sporting challenges, we love to support different ideas for ways to wind down.

There is always something happening to bring a smile and help you connect with your work friends.
