Life is about balance. That’s why, once a week, we give our team an extra hour away from work and Slack messages to focus on what matters to them. Whether it’s a TED talk or a walk, a radio play or watching your team away, it’s your hour for you —no questions asked.

Find all your company benefits all in a single, easily manageable location, including core ones such as pensions, healthcare, and access to EV/cycle schemes, as well as fantastic discounts on your weekly shopping, cinema tickets, and electronics from the world’s biggest brands.

We all know that free food tastes better, so each month, we invite every Sixer to have lunch on us. It’s just by way of a little thank you for the great work that’s produced—and is usable whenever and wherever.

We are people-powered and proud—so we celebrate our people every chance we get. For every year of service at April Six, our team can spin the anniversary wheel with prizes ranging from days off, National Trust memberships, and vouchers galore.

Hybrid working is the new norm, and we’re fully embracing it. Our best work is done when our people are at their happiest, so we fuse office work with working from home to suit each person’s preferences and development.

Being part of a community is important. We all love the immense impact of science and innovation, so we encourage our team to play an active role in the network that supports it.  All our team get free membership of STEMPRA, the network that brings together people in STEM communication.

Though on the job training is always a given, we understand the passion of Sixers to engage in ongoing formal learning around their favorite subjects, so we actively encourage investment in training. Each Sixer has access to a range of learning specific to their role and ambition, from MISSION-led training around cross-functional skills to courses from third party providers.

Personal development should always be exactly that: personal. So our appraisal system is tailored to meet your needs from day one. Through 360 feedback, regular check-ins, and based on your requests for development opportunities, our Room to Grow process provides individualized growth objectives and real time feedback based on what you want to achieve at April Six.

Who doesn’t love a “school trip”? From getting lost in immersive experiences to attending lectures from the best in the business, we love getting out and about to find our next source of inspiration that will elevate the work we do with our clients.

Celebrating the work we do and the bonds we make is crucial to being a Sixer, so every quarter we take the time to let our hair down and connect on a different level – from boat trips, to escape rooms to biscuit icing. It gives us time away from work to make shared memories and thank everyone for their hard work.

The wellbeing of Sixers is a key priority, so you’ll automatically enroll into our healthcare scheme. It gives you money back for health-related fees you may incur such as dental appointments, contact lenses, prescriptions, or physio. It’s a little boost to ensure you’re always feeling great.

For those moments when you’re not quite yourself, or you might a little help with your headspace, we are pleased to be able to offer Sixers 24-hour GP phone or video consultations and a 24-hour helpline offering counselling and supportive information.
