" I'd been in IM Live, our live events business, for five years when I got the chance to try something totally different - a secondment on our new Faces & Voices strategy. Everyone made it so easy to settle in, and I quickly realised how much I enjoyed the role. It ended up turning into a permanent position.

" Immediate has given me the chance to grow in ways I never expected, from creating and hosting the 'In The Interval' podcast to stepping up as co-chair of IM PROUD. These experiences have built my confidence, leadership and communication skills - and given me a platform to champion inclusion and build relationships across the business.

We're building a team where everyone truly belongs

We know the best work happens when people feel free to be themselves. That’s why we’re committed to building a genuinely diverse and inclusive community, with network groups, inclusive hiring practices, allyship learning, and moments that bring us all together, from cultural celebrations to our legendary Summer Festival.

" Being part of the Next Gen Board has made me a much more confident communicator, sharing ideas, hearing different perspectives, and having a say in conversations that actually matter. It's given me a much bigger picture of the business and our people, and helped me grow, both personally and professionally.

" Coming back after nine months of maternity leave was a bigger adjustment than I expected. Immediate's coaching programme gave me space to reflect, rebuild my confidence, and work out how to balance it all as a new mum. I left feeling so much more equipped for this next chapter.

We support you through every stage of life

We want everyone at Immediate to feel supported, whatever stage of life they’re at. From Medicash health cover and a 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme, to enhanced parental leave, fertility support and a network of mental health first aiders, your wellbeing is something we take seriously every day.

Your benefits, answered

From day one you'll have access to Medicash - covering everyday health costs including dental, eye care, physiotherapy, counselling and gym membership. You'll also have access to a 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme for confidential mental health and wellbeing support, plus a network of trained mental health first aiders across the business.

We offer enhanced parental leave with a gender-neutral policy - because we believe both parents should have the opportunity to be there for the moments that matter. We also offer fertility and menopause support, and a range of family and carer/dependency leave policies.

Our hybrid policy is based on 2–3 anchor days in the office per week for team connection and collaboration, with the freedom to work from home the rest of the time. We also offer a Work From Anywhere policy - up to two weeks per year to work outside your usual location, including abroad.

On top of a generous annual leave allowance, you'll also get birthday leave (your birthday is yours), an early Friday finish every week when the work is done, a volunteer day each year to support a cause that matters to you, and access to career breaks and part-time working options.

We offer a pension contribution and life assurance, plus an EV and Cycle to Work scheme for greener commuting and discounted gym membership. Day-to-day you'll also enjoy free coffee, pop-up treats, shared lunches and regular social events in the office.

Mental health support is built into how we work - not bolted on. We have a network of trained mental health first aiders and champions across the business, a 24/7 confidential Employee Assistance Programme, and an ongoing wellbeing programme throughout the year. You'll never have to navigate a tough time alone.

We trust you to work in a way that suits you

We trust you to do great work in a way that suits you. That means a hybrid working policy, an early Friday finish, birthday leave, the option to work from anywhere for two weeks a year, and a range of family and carer policies, because life outside work matters just as much as the work itself.
