Careers at Leasing Options
Check out what some of our team have to say about working at Leasing Options:
Leasing Options in a nutshell
We party
There's no doubt that we work hard but we also know how to have a good time whether it's a star-studded charity ball with our friends at Once Upon a Smile, hosting fabulous corporate hospitality events at sporting events across the region or simply having fun together at Christmas do's – we know how to party!
We reward
It's fair to say we expect high standards from each of our staff but it's also fair to say that we value and appreciate the work that each and every one of our team does. We're known for getting gifts, rewards and treats to say, ‘thank you' and show our appreciation for everyone's efforts.
We care
You can't treat your team like your family and not show how much you care so we launched an employee wellbeing initiative that every member of staff can access, and it provides tips on wellbeing as well staff rewards and benefits.
We appreciate
In life it's not all about the big gestures – simple acts of kindness go a long way and we've been known to surprise our team a fair few times.
We have fun
While we take business seriously – we certainly know how to have some fun. Whether it be one of our regular team socials, getting involved with our charity events or simply having a laugh in the office we're always having fun together
We play, compete and donate
We're proud to support a number of charities and are always ready to have some fun and raise much needed funds by joining in with whatever wacky ideas are thrown at us.
We are flexible
We're in a new era of ‘working' and recognise the traditional 9-5 working in an office 5 days a week is a distant memory for most. We've always been ahead of our time when it came to flexible working and have a strong heritage of listening to our team and how they wish to work – updating our working policy to accommodate their requests. We value and respects individual's choice of how they wish to work and are happy to accommodate their working style of choice. If we're happy and you're happy – why would we work any other way...
We're family
Nothing more needs to be said. When you join the Leasing Options family – you're one of us. We're fiercely proud of our team and feel happy and confident with the knowledge that we have the very best.
So, what more needs to be said… Are you ready to join the family?
