Working for CIMSPA

Everyone deserves a great workplace.  Everyone deserves to want to come to work and to feel that they are making a difference.  Everyone deserves to be valued and trusted by their employer and to be allowed to learn and grow in their role. This is our aim at CIMSPA.

We take our culture and our employees’ well-being seriously.

These days, like much of the world, we’re operating in hybrid working conditions but love to see our colleagues getting together in the office, finding out about each other and enjoying the camaraderie.

We believe in our people and are committed to providing a stable, positive and supportive working environment.  In our view, a healthy and happy workforce are better equipped to do their best work and more importantly, enjoy their lives inside and outside the workplace. 

Quarterly team meetings give us a chance to connect with colleagues and celebrate our successes and catchup on how we are all doing. We also give out our quarterly staff awards, a real opportunity for you to recognise your colleagues.
