Hybrid working

We’re proud to offer a truly hybrid and flexible way of working. Our digital first approach means you’ll have the tools, technology and trust to work effectively – whether you’re at home, in the office, or somewhere in between. 

We’ll discuss your needs before you start, to agree what works best for you and your team, balancing business needs with your personal circumstances so you can thrive both professionally and personally. 

Talent and development opportunities

We want our employees to reach their full potential, which is why we offer a range of different opportunities within the WRA as well as accessing opportunities across the Civil Service.

Testimonial from Leanne, our Business Analyst

“One of the great benefits about working at the WRA is the number of volunteer days that they offer. The WRA offers five days a year volunteering. This is fantastic because we can actually take part in something that means something to us, what we’re passionate about.”
