How we’d like to work together

As we are a global team, there is flexibility to be based in one of Uniphar’s offices or work from home.  There may be a need for face to face meetings in other locations, as needed.  There may also some flexibility required in order to interact with colleagues or clients in their time zones (i.e. it’s not a ‘9 to 5’ type of job).  In return, you will be joining an environment that understands how inter-twined work and life have become - and both the benefits and challenges that brings - and therefore offers a flexible, progressive way of supporting it through our Hybrid Working philosophy.
