If your presented profile meets the requirements above, we’d not hesitate to schedule an initial call with you to learn more about your interest, skills and experience.

Next, you’ll get to meet your future line manager.

. There is a well-provisioned onsite gym run by our own Sony Wellbeing Coordinator, with classes on set days in the mornings, at lunch and after work hours. We have a staff car park which includes electric charging points, an undercover and secure bike rack (useful if you’ve made the most of the Cycle-to-Work scheme), or if you will use public transport,
we have a shuttle bus service that regularly runs between train station and the office at peak times.
