Why Work for Us

We work hard, we challenge ourselves, and each other and have a real passion for what we do.

For roles not based in our retail stores or warehouses, we now offer a flexible hybrid working environment. Allowing you to work from home, at our beautiful Norwich Head Office or a mix of the two.

We are also very family friendly. Many of our staff – including our Directors – are parents, so we understand how important it is to have flexibility when it’s needed.

Our company values were thoughtfully created by our people from all corners of our business.  We are incredibly proud of them as they set out how we behave not only with each other but also with our customers.

Your Wellbeing

Our people’s health and wellbeing is incredibly important to us and as such we all commit to the following wellbeing pledge:

We all have times in our life when we don’t feel OK, and that’s alright. At The Cotswold Company, we pledge to live by our value of ‘Constantly Caring’ by looking out for each other, being approachable and attentive to each other’s needs and providing a space where everyone feels safe to ask for help and support and receives kindness and understanding in return.

We have various initiatives in place to support our people, whether its speaking to one of our wonderful Mental Health First Aiders, reading various articles and accessing helpful guides in our Health and Wellbeing Hub, utilising many of our health benefits which include anything from the Employee Assistance Programme, access to counselling, 24 hour GP support, and/or listening to self help guides and practicing mindfulness in the Unmind wellbeing App. There is something for everyone. We also train our managers to understand and provide support and signposting to those struggling with their mental health.
