About us

We’re more than just an energy company. We’re a family of brands, on a mission to revolutionise how we power the planet. We heat homes, light up careers, and ignite communities. We're woven into the fabric of everyday life. When it comes to energy, we do it all. We make it, move it, mend it, supply it and store it. When you choose Centrica, you're choosing more than a career.

Why 'More Than A Career'?

You'll make an impact that will truly change tomorrow. We have purpose. For both customers and communities, everything we do is striving to make people's lives more sustainable, simple and affordable. Whether you’re developing and delivering cutting-edge technology, helping customers on the front line, or simplifying operations behind the scenes. We all play a vital role in our vision for a cleaner, greener future. For our planet. For everyone.

You'll Ignite your potential. We invest in our people, empowering them to take charge of their careers and level up until their best is better. Here, personal and professional development go hand-in-hand. When you’re ready to grow, we’re here for you. With bespoke learning and development programmes so you can take ownership of your career progression in a way that suits you.

We're a people place. We care, we collaborate and we celebrate. We're 1 of only 7 employers to be accredited as Carer Confident Ambassadors and consistently hit The Times' Top 50 Employer list for Gender Equality. Diversity is the fuel to our flame — it's what sparks our innovation, fosters resilience, and makes us a genuinely great place to work. We're looking for people to add to our culture - not fit in with it. We know that every voice matters, and every new perspective makes us more empathetic and reflective of the 10 million customers we serve.

You'll be empowered by perks. We offer more than just a salary. If we do well, so do you. We give all colleagues a slice of our annual profits as company shares. Performance is matched with reward. From a great pension, to healthcare and energy discounts, we make work, worth it with access to a host of additional benefits like retail vouchers, gym passes, additional holidays and an electric car scheme.

Flexible working at Centrica

We get it — life happens. That's why we've embedded a core of trust and flexibility into our DNA. School run? No problem. We've redefined the traditional 9-5 with our FlexFirst working model that means where business needs allow, colleagues have the freedom to choose where and when they work best, alongside a supportive environment that understands that sometimes, you need to do you.  Real inclusivity means supporting the different realities our people face. Celebrating difference is important, but offering flexibility and holistic support helps set everyone up for success.

Approach to diversity & inclusion

We're a people place. We care, we collaborate and we celebrate. We're 1 of only 7 employers to be accredited as Carer Confident Ambassadors and consistently hit The Times' Top 50 Employer list for Gender Equality. Diversity is the fuel to our flame — it's what sparks our innovation, fosters resilience, and makes us a genuinely great place to work. We're looking for people to add to our culture - not fit in with it. We know that every voice matters, and every new perspective makes us more empathetic and reflective of the 10 million customers we serve.

We have 12 employee groups dedicated to our people. These include + our LGBTQI+ group, Diverse-ability that celebrates the physiological and neurological diversity amongst colleagues and also our Carers Network, who stood up at government earlier this year to pass the Carers Leave Act, which has led to a law being brought in to make Carers Leave a statutory policy across the UK.

What do we think of Centrica?

Centrica have a fantastic flexible working environment and genuinely are a 'people place' as they say themselves! with a great list of benefits too, this is a company that truly cares about employees both professionally and personally.
