Where possible, we look to promote internally before advertising positions externally. Due to the growth of the company is experiencing, there are many opportunities for development.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Do you support flexible working?” tab_id=”1673688783344-6ffebf84-2b3e”][vc_column_text]At Microlise we recognise that everyone\u2019s personal circumstances are different. To ensure a positive work\/life balance we do offer hybrid and flexible working options to individuals where possible, such as part-time working, flexi-time and job sharing. Different roles allow for flexible working in different ways, but it is something we are happy to consider.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”What is the typical interview process?” tab_id=”1673688813203-3f7bf033-66a0″][vc_column_text]The process differs depending on the types of role, however a standard process is to initially undertake a telephone interview, followed by a video or face-to-face interview at our Head Office in Eastwood.<\/p>\n

You may be asked to complete a task or personality profile depending on the role applied for, in addition to being asked about any relevant previous experience and knowledge you have gained.<\/p>\n

In some cases you may be asked to return for another interview and be given a tour of the building and the chance to meet your potential new colleagues.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Is there a company dress code?” tab_id=”1673688855440-1459bd12-627d”][vc_column_text]There are different dress codes for different areas of the business. For customer facing roles we of course expect smarter dress, but otherwise we have a casual approach to work-wear. All staff joining Microlise have the option to receive a number of Microlise polo shirts and a jacket, but both receiving these and wearing them is very much optional![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”What provisions are made for people with a disability?” tab_id=”1673688877208-ad61edce-320d”][vc_column_text]Microlise is a Two Ticks Disability Symbol holder, demonstrating our commitment to providing equal opportunities to people with disabilities.

We are also heavily invested in the mental and physical wellbeing of our teams, and have regular wellbeing initiatives throughout the year e.g. Steptember whereby we encourage employees to get their steps in and have some friendly competition along the way.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Do you operate any employee reward schemes?” tab_id=”1673688951815-6013d5b8-ef08″][vc_column_text]While no official staff reward system is currently in place, staff members who go \u2018above and beyond\u2019 are recognised for their efforts and are rewarded appropriately.

Whilst Microlise makes every effort to directly source candidates for our live roles, we do have a very small preferred supplier list for hard to fill roles.<\/p>\n

We are not looking for additional support from agencies and therefore don\u2019t accept any speculative emails, or cold calls and approaches to reception or our managers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
