Senior Frontend Developer

People to learn from, caring people and people full of ideas (not to mention they can bake a mean cake). We, therefore, look after our staff and we’re all rewarded with, amongst other things:

• 25 days annual leave - plus Bank Holidays
• Early finish every Friday - the weekend starts at 3:00 pm
• Input into our company goals – we are all asked for our opinions on where the company should be headed
• A structured training program - built around you, your personal development plan and skills aspirations
• Regular social events (to suit everyone) – quiz nights, escape games, barbecues, D&D, team get-togethers and our infamous Christmas party
• Workplace flexibility – tell us what suits your lifestyle
• Future thinking - enhanced pension contributions, critical illness and death in service packages
• Wellbeing support – financial wellness sessions, a wellness guide, employee savings and cycle scheme access, as well as activities and an in-office gym
• Support for families - Enhanced maternity and paternity packages
• A structured induction program - We make sure we give you everything you need to learn about the different functions across Fresh Egg to hit the ground running

Without our amazing people, there's no Fresh Egg. It's a privilege to work alongside such fantastic talent, sharing ideas, knowledge, helping one another and learning - It's what makes us.
