Flexible working at Oxford Ionics

๐ŸŒ At Oxford Ionics, we pride ourselves on fostering a flexible and hybrid working environment.

Outside of that, it's all about striking the right balance to maximise your productivity and well-being.

๐ŸŒฑ We're not just passionate about our work, but also about personal growth and exploration. We believe in unlimited annual leave because everyone deserves to recharge without counting the days. Our team members frequently travel the globe, presenting groundbreaking findings, giving lectures, and immersing themselves in the scientific community. And the best part? Oxford Ionics covers all travel and related expenses, ensuring our team can focus on what they do best.
