We trust our staff to do the right thing and we are looking for people who share our values: PACE - professional, accountable, collaborative and evolving.

At Saffron, you will have the freedom to learn and grow. We are passionate about investing in our people, providing them with the skills they need now, and for their future aspirations. We do this by offering a blend of learning opportunities, including our innovative e-learning platform where learning is self-directed allowing people to learn what they want to learn, when they want to.

We work with and support our people to work in an agile way to provide flexibility as well as a work/life balance.

From application to interview, we place inclusion at the heart of all we do. We aspire to have a diverse workforce because we believe that diversity enables better business outcomes.
