What we offer

Continued training and development is key for all members of our team. A tailored training and induction plan is developed for each new starter to help them get up to speed on everything they need to know. For those who like variety, there will be many opportunities to get involved in various projects across departments, and we fully support regular CPD in order to help everyone reach their full potential.

At Shield Safety, we have worked closely as a team to develop an enhanced benefits package that benefits everyone. All of our colleagues benefit from flexible working hours, birthdays off, remote working options for those who are office-based and we also offer a generous holiday allowance so you can make the most out of your time off. As well as all this, we also provide an enhanced pension scheme, enhanced maternity & paternity leave, health cash plan, financial support and much more to support the health and overall wellbeing of our colleagues.

We are a social bunch and our Social Committee organise regular events and get-togethers to encourage friendships, meet new people and have fun together (both in-person and remotely depending on each person’s circumstances).

Our offices are in the heart of Manchester’s Northern Quarter surrounded by bars, restaurants and music venues. Public transport of all kinds is just a short walk away and close-by there’s plenty of affordable parking. Our culture is passionate, collaborative and diverse and we enjoy working in a relaxed, dress-down environment where dogs are more than welcome.

We know that this is the best way to support our clients, and we feel that our workplace should mirror the demographic make-up of the population and of our client base.
