Careers

NSN’s staff come from a range of backgrounds, including school leavers, graduates, former teachers and business professionals.

Studies have found that 90% of employees consider flexible working to be key to their motivation and productivity, and that flexible working is more likely to result in engagement. But we also recognise the importance of a healthy work/life balance to the personal lives and mental wellbeing of staff, and that it is simply the right thing to do.
That’s why we promote flexible working for all staff.
Our flexible start and finish times mean that employees can balance their professional and personal priorities, while a range of patterns have been used by staff across all seniorities and teams.
Other benefits at NSN include a generous pension contribution; a large annual leave allowance with the option to carry days over; office Christmas closure; access to office space across the country; mental health days; volunteer leave; and a Cycle to Work scheme.
