For me, the best thing about working here is the people

What we offer
Our culture
We want you to feel looked after, supported, listened to and engaged with the business from day one.
At Nisbets we’ve developed a unique culture where you’ll feel looked after, supported, listened to and engaged with the business from day one. This is all down to a range of Colleague Programmes and The Kitchen - our colleague benefits and recognition platform. This helps us to all keep in touch with what is going on in the business, as well as providing bite-sized articles and information for our colleagues.
With regular team meetings, a formal appraisal process and regular one-to-ones, you’ll always know what’s happening and how you fit in.

Maintaining your well-being
We recognise that mental health is just as important as physical health. We have invested in a suite of wellbeing tools for our colleagues to access 24/7, including a Wellbeing Hub on our intranet, The Kitchen.
Colleagues can access articles, fitness videos and recipes under the four pillars of Mind, Move, Money and Munch. We also have an EAP Programme available for confidential support at any time, as well as workshops and training through our EAP partner and on our Personalised Online Training System, POTS.
Every Wednesday is “Welldoing Wednesday” - our initiative to empower colleagues to be active and commit to their own wellbeing. All colleagues are allocated mental health awareness training as part of our aim to grow a better understanding of mental health among our population. In 2022, we are investing in Mental Health First Aiders to support colleagues even further across the business.

Our behaviours
Our behaviours outline how we want our colleagues to behave towards others.
These take into account our past, our present, and our future, and have been designed with our people to ensure we preserve the best of our culture, whilst keeping focused on what we need to do to give our company and our people an opportunity to grow. They are used across the business, from performance management and development discussions to ensuring we recruit the best talent to help our business succeed.
Learning and development
As our business keeps on developing, we want you to do the same. That’s why we offer a wide range of opportunities for learning, development and progression.

Apprenticeships
We offer a full range of apprenticeships across all our business areas for you to launch a successful career with us.
This includes a well-established support structure, with managers who are trained to give you the right opportunities to develop your skills and thrive in our business. We work with a variety of great providers to give you all the training you need to gain a recognised qualification and support you every step of the way. With classroom and e-learning modules, alongside the opportunities to learn on the job in one of our teams, you’ll have everything you need to build a rewarding future.



Nisbets in the Community
We aim to create better places to live, work and do business, wherever we operate around the world.
That’s where our long-term charitable project, ‘Nisbets in the Community’, comes in, supporting and empowering a variety of initiatives that deliver social value for the local communities around our sites. We employ more than 1,700 people and ‘Nisbets in the Community’ develops local programmes and networks to support the communities where our people live. This includes supporting local charitable and not-for-profit networks, as well as direct support from our people through volunteering and financial donations.
