Working at OVO
We want to be the leading place to work for world changers, so we need a world-changing approach to make this happen.
Our People Offer is just the thing. And, it’s packed with green benefits, progressive policies, and even more choice and flexibility.
We offer Flex Pay – that’s 9% extra on top of your salary to do what works for you. Whether you invest it into your pension (that’s green too), take it as cash or set-up a Workplace ISA, that’s up to you. Your pay, your way.
All the OVO perks
We'll give you 9% Flex Pay on top of your salary – 4% of this is auto enrolled into your pension, and the remaining 5% is yours to do what you like with. You can use this to buy from our extensive range of flexible benefits, including our green benefits which we've put at the heart of our offering, or even take it as cash. On top of this, you'll also get life and health cover at no cost to you. This includes life assurance at 3x salary and depending on your role either private medical insurance or a health care cash plan.
You'll also get an annual holiday allowance of 31 days pro rata, including 5 bank holidays. Plus, an extra 3 days to be taken on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day, when we're closed – that's 34 days altogether. You'll also have the option to buy more holidays if you like using your flex pay.
The OVO Way of Flexibility
Home, hub, field. We’re flexible so you can make work, work. Lots of our people go for a mix of hub and home – our approach isn’t prescriptive. We trust you to do what’s right. We have 3 hub offices: Bristol, Glasgow, and London. They’re all accessible spaces to park your laptop. And each one is designed to inspire people, help them connect, and bring big ideas to life.
We care about our people
We want our people to feel and operate at their best. So there’s tonnes on offer for those times when we might need a wellbeing boost or some extra support whilst you work. From our mental health first-aiders, to 24/7 access to counselling, we're here for you. And our Belonging networks offer spaces to be whoever you are. They help shape our business and policies, to make OVO as inclusive as possible.
Progress your career
Growth is a lot more than climbing the career ladder. It’s about learning new skills, and getting the chance to use them. Less time spent on training courses. More time getting stuck into new experiences. We don’t have managers – we have people leaders. They inspire, energise, and support their teams. We don’t have rulebooks here – we trust that people will do their best. And the right thing for each other, our customers, and the planet.
Work in a greener way
We’ve committed to achieving net zero carbon emissions across our operations by 2035. And we know it’s only possible if we all work together. That’s why everyone here is passionate about achieving our Plan Zero purpose. And everything we do contributes to us achieving our goals. From planting forests to making schools more energy efficient through OVO Foundation.
The OVO Way of Giving
We’ve got our very own charity, OVO Foundation. Because giving back is part of who we are. It all started in 2014. We help young people connect with nature, and empower them to fight the climate crisis. And our people can get stuck in too, with up to 2 days’ of volunteering a year from their annual leave. Whatever time you take, we’ll match and let you take the same amount again.
