We’re still at the start of our journey at Spill. The project’s success is far from guaranteed. This means that the hours are long and the work is hard. To balance this, we offer generous support and time off to make sure that everyone has the opportunity to rest and unwind when they're not at work.

Your working hours

Every employee at Spill HQ is contracted to work 9.30 am - 6.30 pm (see section on flexibility below on flexible start/finish times). It’s worth calling out that this alone is more than you’d be contractually required to work in a lot of places.

In addition to this, we have more opportunities than people. You might need to work outside your core hours to push projects forward faster, spend time polishing the details or fix an urgent issue from time to time.

Holiday

In order to counterbalance the fact that the hours at Spill are longer than most other companies, Spill offers more holiday days than most other companies.

You get 30 days of holiday to use each year, a day off for your birthday, 3 company days off over Xmas and bank holidays off as usual. Your manager may also gift you additional holiday days if they feel like you could benefit from more time off.

We want everyone to use their full holiday allowance each year and truly switch off. No need to check emails or log into our systems while you’re taking a well-deserved break.

To sum up Spill’s working culture: Work hard play hard, and take lots of holiday!

Where you’ll work

While we’re still small and working out what we’re building in different markets, everyone works from the office at least 4 days per week.

We want to optimise for people getting unblocked quickly and different teams hearing what’s going on across the business.

Once we're big and stable enough that everyone knows what they're supposed to be doing all the time, we can revisit this. But right now, serendipitous conversations and low barriers to communication are a competitive advantage.

Flexibility

We understand that some people work better in the mornings or in the evenings, people might have a commitments on certain evenings, or you might have care responsibilities. Because of this, we give you flexibility to start/finish later if it also suits the rest of your team.

Additionally, you have flexibility in how you use your work from home day - you aren’t mandated to work from home on a set day and you can use them more like a flexible pot of 48 work-from-home days across the year if you’d prefer.
