Some of the things you might like about working at Ten4

Flexible, remote work, from anywhere in the UK and 25 days annual leave

Our team is all over — working from Cumbria to Dorset and sometimes even farther afield. And if you’re an early bird? Start at 08:00. Night owl? Start at 10:00. You choose when to bookend your working day so you can fit in the things that are important to you, like school runs, evening classes, or even just a lie in.

£1,000/year professional development budget + regular catch-ups with a director or team lead

Your professional development is important to us. So if you spot an opportunity to learn via courses, books, conferences and so on, we’ll back you up to £1000 a year, every year. You also get monthly one-to-ones with a director or your team lead, to make sure you’re happy at work and growing your skills and experience.

£200 to get your home office in shape

We want you to be comfortable in your workplace, so when you join Ten4 you’ll get £200 to splash on whatever you want to make your home office work for you.

Regular coworking

We all need a break from the home office once in a while. We have a coworking subscription to allow you to do just that.

Macbook Pro with any additional peripherals you need

All the tech you need will be couriered to your home before you start.

Regular socials and an annual company retreat

Half a day, usually once a month, to get together with the team and do something fun, followed by a bite to eat and a friendly drink. If you don’t drink, that’s fine too; several of our team are tee-total.

We also take an annual company retreat — last year we went to Barcelona for the Craft CMS conference.

Two-month paid sabbatical after seven years

We reward long service with a two-month paid sabbatical, which can be taken in whole or in parts at any time after seven years of employment.

Empathy

Understanding and feeling the motivations, frustrations and experiences of those we design for helps us in every aspect of our work.

Creative problem solving

We don’t shy away from complex or challenging projects. If there’s a way through, we’ll find it.

Collaboration

At the core of all our projects is a happy marriage of our clients’ expertise and ours. We believe the best way to meet goals is to work together as one team.

Honesty and dependability

Fostering trust is essential to create long-lasting relationships.

Outcome focused

Dedicated to delivering lasting value.

Fun and friendly!

We want to do interesting work with nice people, be kind to each other and get the job done.

We’re committed to equality of opportunity. You will be able to make the best use of your skills, free from discrimination or harassment, knowing that all decisions are based on merit.
