Time with family, or even just for yourself. is important. To help you maintain a better work-life balance, we offer both hybrid and flexible working. Of course, this will depend on your role and terms of employment.

Salary sacrifice
Again, if you’re a monthly-paid employee, you may be entitled to join our electric car initiative. As a key element of our carbon reduction goals, the scheme will help BGEN become net zero by 2035. With an electric car, you can help us get there, while still getting where you need to be.
