Important things
We work in a flexible way
Employees of Good Things work in a hybrid way with a combination of home working and working from a space in Sheffield City Centre. All staff are expected to attend the Sheffield workspace at least twice per month. Travel to the office is classed as standard commuting to your contractual place of work. Consequently it is done at your own time and expense and won’t be reimbursed.
The model we have adopted aims to provide flexibility and personal choice regarding working location. Any individual who prefers office working can attend the office as frequently as they like.
Our approach to pay
We aim to pay competitively relative to our sector, and at levels that are financially sustainable.
All our job adverts will indicate the salary on offer. We locate roles within our salary framework which has five bands, from A (entry level, early career) through to E (Executive Committee, senior leadership). Within the bands, we have levels and salary ranges.
Salaries are determined by the complexity and scope of a job, internal relativity and the external market for those particular skills. New joiners are typically based at the starting point for their role. We review salaries annually and offer organisation-wide increases when appropriate and affordable, with Band A staff also receiving increases to mid and upper point on their first and second work anniversaries respectively.
