Who We Are

At Snicket Labs we pride ourselves on being people-focused.

We know that people show up as their best selves when they have a sense of purpose, and are trusted to do what needs to be done. 

We know that life extends beyond work, and that sustainable working practices look different for everyone. We champion a work life blend that works for you. We are fully remote, and acknowledge the fun stuff that comes with that…caring responsibilities, boiler repairs, healthcare appointments…everything. So we are flexible.

Snicket Labs is a team effort, and everyone brings something different to the table, that’s our strength. Great teamwork is about trust, and being respectful to one another. We do not tolerate any hate speech, aggression, cruelty, bullying or discrimination. We communicate professionally and respectfully, regardless of the topic, and we respect the right of each of us to hold our own beliefs and opinions.

Right to work

Please note our staff must have the right to work in the UK. This applies to both Permanent staff and Contractors due to the nature of our business and contractual obligations.

Compensation Package

Salary 

£55-60k per year

Holiday

25 days per year, plus bank holidays (and we close between Christmas and New Year which is gifted on top of annual leave)

Remote work & hours

Snicket Labs is a fully remote company. Our team is spread through the UK and abroad. We meet up occasionally for meetings and socials, but your day-to-day will be from home.

Our normal working hours are 9am to 6pm, with core hours of 10am to 5pm. However, within core hours people often have things they need to take care of (such as the school run) and we’re flexible to this; all we need is a heads-up in Slack that you’re going to be away and for how long, simple.

Equipment

A MacBook Pro/Air, monitor, keyboard, mouse.

If you require any special equipment for any health reason we can provide it and do our best to ensure your working environment is as comfortable as possible.

Training budget

We value learning and we offer a £1,000 per year training budget, with set reading and training days. You can agree with your manager how you’d like this to be used and we do expect you to use it. Additional days are available if speaking at an event where you represent Snicket Labs.

Pension

Snicket Labs operates a company pension scheme through SmartPension. This constitutes an employer contribution of 3% of your annual salary and an employee contribution of 5%.  The employee contribution is collected through our salary sacrifice scheme, and therefore is not subject to National Insurance. Team members can choose to opt out of the salary sacrifice scheme or the entire pension scheme.

Maternity & Paternity 

Our maternity and paternity policy offers much more than the statutory and shows our commitment to equality and care for our team. We really hope you’ll give it a look to get a sense of who we are; but in short it gives much more pay for maternity leave, while also giving similar rights to paternity, adoption and surrogate parents.

Share options

We have reserved a pool of employee share options, managed using a recognised EMI share scheme provider. We will tell you the exact number of options and what that is as a percentage of the total company before you join. 

Private Medical Insurance

We offer private medical insurance to all of our team, and further cover for family members/dependents can be added onto the policy via our salary sacrifice team. 

Life Assurance

We offer Life Assurance at 3x your salary to all of our team, with no extra/hidden costs.
Mintago

We manage most of our perks and benefits via the Mintago platform. This includes further options of salary sacrifice such as the Cycle to Work scheme, a childcare scheme, retail discounts, a pension pot finder and free access to a variety of Financial Advisors. 

EAP (Employee Assistance Programme)

We have an EAP service available to all employees with 24/7 access to a GP helpline, personalised counselling, legal and financial advisors. This is available to all of our team, at all times. 

EDI Statement
As an equal opportunities employer, Snicket Labs is committed to the equal treatment of all current and prospective employees and does not condone discrimination on the basis of age, disability, sex, sexual orientation, pregnancy and maternity, race or ethnicity, religion or belief, gender identity, or marriage and civil partnership.

We aspire to have a diverse and inclusive workplace and strongly encourage suitably qualified applicants from a wide range of backgrounds to apply and join Snicket Labs.
