About

Our aim is to recruit and retain the most talented individuals and recognise that our diversity is a strength. Come and join us! We have implemented a Career Framework to provide all staff with access to a career structure that is transparent and supports development and career progression, helping everyone at SKAO make the most of their potential. The Career Framework is supported by a pay structure, flexible working arrangements and generous benefits. Our values are at the core of who we are and what we stand for – diversity & inclusion, collaboration, creativity & innovation, excellence, and sustainability. We aim to create a welcoming and inclusive environment that is free from bias and where everyone feels they belong, and diverse perspectives and ideas thrive. Through our Recognition Scheme we encourage all staff to thank colleagues for efforts that go above and beyond our values, helping to celebrate success and share good practice. At SKAO we do lots of fun activities outside work – celebrate national days to recognise our cultural diversity, take part in charity runs, bake cakes for fundraising events, plant trees, organise guided tours for new joiners, celebrate international days (e.g. mental health awareness week, poetry day, pancake day and many more), go on jogs/runs during lunchtime, have weekly pub meet ups, annual family-friendly summer BBQs and Christmas parties. Whatever your passion is, you will fit right in!
