Our must haves
Diversity and flexible working at Hiscox
At Hiscox we care about our people.
We hire the best people for the job and we’re committed to diversity and creating a truly inclusive culture, which we believe drives success.
We have also learned over the past few years that working life doesn’t always have to be in the office, and now it is safe to do so we have introduced hybrid working to encourage a healthy work life balance.
We anticipate the successful candidate for this role will be in the office full time for training and learning for the initial onboarding period and then up to 2 days per week hybrid.
This hybrid working model is set by the team rather than the business to enable you to manage your own personal work-life balance.
We see it as the best of both worlds; structure and sociability on one hand, and independence and flexibility on the other.
