Working at Bishop Fleming

Professional development + personal support

Your development shouldn’t follow a standard template. It should reflect your experience, your ambitions and where you want your career to go.

You’ll be encouraged to ask questions, share your ideas and put what you learn into practice. As your confidence and experience grow, so can your responsibilities.

We'll provide you with training and development designed to support you throughout your career. Depending on your role and experience, this could include:

Support towards relevant professional qualifications
Technical and role-specific training
Learning from experienced colleagues
Coaching and mentoring
Leadership and management development
Opportunities to gain experience across different clients and sectors
Regular conversations about your performance and future goals

Flexibility + trust

Where and how you work can make a real difference to your performance and wellbeing.

Our approach to flexible and hybrid working gives you the freedom to work where you can be most effective, whether that's at home, in one of our offices or at a client site where appropriate.

We’ll trust you to make sensible choices about where and when you work most effectively. The aim is to find the right balance between your preferences and the needs of your clients, colleagues and the wider firm.

The principle is simple: we want to create an environment that brings out the best in you.

We aspire to have an inclusive and diverse workplace, underpinned by the physical and mental health and wellbeing of our people.

Wellbeing + support

Your wellbeing isn’t separate from your working life. It’s an important part of it.

We understand that wellbeing means different things to different people. Whether you're looking after your mental health, staying active, building connections or managing your finances, you'll have access to support when you need it.

Every Bishop Fleming office has a local wellbeing ambassador who can share information, promote available support and help organise activities. These can range from physical wellbeing sessions and sporting events to social groups and informal opportunities to connect with colleagues.

At Bishop Fleming, wellbeing isn't an add-on. It's an integral part of how we think about our people.
