Hello there! Up for the grand tour?
Find out all you need to know about working for us – from life at OVO, rewards, benefits and learning - to where you can find our lovely UK offices as well as links to some of our blogs.
While many of us may be working from home at the moment, there's still lots discover about what's on offer at OVO.
We aspire to the extraordinary
And it starts with our purpose, Plan Zero. We’re creating a place where people love to work. A place where everyone belongs. Full of incredible world changers all working together to make zero carbon a reality. Doing your bit for the planet and our customers is rewarding in itself. But there are plenty of other advantages to working here at OVO.
Work with the best
We attract brilliant people who solve big problems together. These people think big, work hard, act quickly. And understand the importance of teamwork. It's all set out in our People Strategy framework.
OVO Belonging
We want everyone to feel a sense of belonging here as part of our movement - it’s fundamental to creating the kind of company that we want to be.
OVO Belonging builds on our original promise to grow an inclusive culture and a brilliantly diverse movement – and we’ve set out clear steps to get us there including launching our inclusion and diversity network groups, led by our people, for our people.
You can read more in our first Belonging report. And we’ll publish one every year to share our progress. Download the Report here
The OVO Way of Working
We want OVO to be a place where you can invest in your career while balancing other aspects of your life. That’s why we’ve introduced a set of principles (the OVO Way of Working) that give our people choice around when and where they work on a day to day basis, wherever possible. Most of our community work in a fluid way, others have this more formalised within their contract - it’s up to you. You can read more by downloading our OVO Way of Working PDF.
Advance your career
From personal development, to line manager support. We raise the bar through developing smart people who push the boundaries of what’s possible. There’s plenty on offer under OVO Learn, come get involved.
So what’s the deal
Once you've passed probation, you'll be in line to pick up an annual bonus. You'll also benefit from our pension scheme consisting of a matched employer contribution of 5% of your salary, and we’ll chip in an extra 4% of your basic salary towards a holiday, computer, bicycle, health plan, ISA saving and much more. With 25 days holiday plus a day off each year for your birthday, what isn’t to like?!
Full transparency and collaboration
We believe in working together to achieve our vision. That's why we've partnered with Just3Things to help us share our objectives. Everyone can see what everyone else is working on, and how we all contribute together. This makes it really easy to collaborate, find information and ask questions. The Just3Things OKR software made such a difference to us that the team behind it now make it available to other companies, such as Deloitte and the NHS.
That's why we run lots of employee-led projects to help communities across the globe. Whether it's volunteering with local schools or installing solar panels in Kenyan health clinics, we're passionate about giving back.
