RSPB
The RSPB is passionate about nature, dedicated to saving it. Since we started on our mission in 1889, the threats to nature have continued to grow, but we've grown to meet them too.
We’re now the largest nature conservation charity in the country, consistently delivering successful conservation, forging powerful new partnerships with other organisations and inspiring others to stand up and give nature the home it deserves.
The FlexScore® is the result of a rigorous 2-step verification of a company’s flexibility
First we assess the flexibility options RSPB provides and then we anonymously survey a statistically significant proportion of their employees to make sure RSPB is as flexible as they say they are. Our assessment is based on the six key elements of flexibility: location, hours, autonomy, benefits, role modelling and work-life balance.
We ask the hard questions so you don’t have to.

What employees are saying
I feel the RSPB is very flexible and this is reflected through the Line Management chain - I know I have the flexibility on a daily basis to start early / finish late, if something crops up at home - I am very satisfied :)

What do we think of RSPB?
We love to see charities embracing flexibility, the RSPB were quick to adapt to the pandemic and have found that employees had benefitted from the changes and are now offering flexible working across the board. With flexibility at the forefront of the charity, employees are benefitting from a better work-life balance.
If you're passionate about saving nature and birds and want to work for an organisation making a real difference to the wildlife in the UK the RSPB may be your next company.
Meet who might be hiring you
The RSPB is a community. The culture we have here really is one where we support each other to engage and deliver our valuable work. I personally feel the work I do here makes a difference, and I am proud to say I am an employee.
Where possible we offer flexible working patterns and have affinity support groups as safe spaces to chat and learn from each other.
From a personal perspective, working for a flexible employer, makes all the difference to how I feel valued and trusted to effectively deliver my work and balance these with my own needs.
From the perspective of being a recruiting manager, being able to offer flexibility has allowed more individuals to apply for our roles and clearly supports inclusivity. It helps us to, not just, find the best people for the roles, but also supports applicants who may otherwise be disadvantaged and much more besides.
It really does make the workplace a better place to work!
