Additional Information
At AGS we operate a hybrid working policy – we recognise individuals want the flexibility of working from home but with the option to be in an office when needed. Our UK AGS office locations are Bracknell, London and Birmingham with client site locations across the UK. If you’re lucky enough to be within a commutable distance of one of our AGS collaborative offices, this will be your allocated work home but you’ll still have the piece of mind to flex your working week accordingly. On occasion some of our job adverts will state an in-office/on-site need but rest assured you’ll be with a wonderful team to work, develop and grow.
We want everyone to be able to perform at their best during our recruitment process and as a Disability Confident Committed employer, we will offer an interview to applicants with a disability or long‑term condition who best meet the minimum or essential criteria for the role. We want our recruitment process to be inclusive and accessible to all, so if you have a disability or long‑term condition (for example dyslexia, anxiety, autism, a mobility condition or hearing loss) and need us to make any adjustments, changes or do anything differently, please let us know by emailing [email protected] and we will do our best to make suitable arrangements.
