What we do is important, and how we do it is just as important. Our culture empowers all of us. We want you to feel engaged and connected to the work you do, the people you do it with, and our ambitious business goals. Crucially, we want to support you to be your best.
We are proud of our values (Safety, Teamwork, Ownership, Integrity, Passion). They are the standards that guide everything we do, both as individuals and together. By living them every day, we will do the best we can for everyone who relies on England’s motorways and major A roads.
We value the wellbeing of our people. Looking after their mental health, as much as their physical health, plays a big part in making sure National Highways is a safe and supportive place to work. We have an Employee Assistance Programme which offers confidential 24/7 support and counselling.
At National Highways, we are committed to creating a flexible working environment, where everybody has the freedom to achieve a work-life balance. We have adopted an informal blended working approach for many of our roles and offer multiple ways to work flexibly where possible.
We want colleagues to make real choices about when and how they work, promoting work-life balance, reducing stress, and improving performance and productivity.
To support this, our people have the right to request a flexible working pattern from the start. We welcome discussions during the application stage and know that things change over time so will be happy to discuss flexible working patterns throughout your career with us.
We know our work has an impact on local communities, and we want to do whatever we can to help them. Our people can take up to three volunteering days per year, enabling them to learn skills and give back to the local community. Last year our people gave 1,885 hours to local communities, working with over 50 organisations and benefitting over 3,500 people.
