Work at Stobbs:
Firm culture is important at Stobbs - friendly social approachable and where we look after each other. We regularly provide our own social and professional events. We manage the rights of some fantastic clients - obviously that means our advice has to be legally sound but its also about it being business savvy. We have high standards but learn from our mistakes. Were not internally competitive (well except when it comes to sports and quizzes!). Were certainly not run with an iron fist; we want our people to bring their whole selves to work wanting to perform well learn from mistakes and to feel comfortable asking questions and learning and helping us continue to improve and be the best we can be.
Our head office is north of Cambridge with an office in central London. We are trying to strike a good balance of supporting people to work flexibly while delivering for our clients and making Stobbs an attractive place to work. Our current hybrid working policy is a minimum requirement of two days in the office encouraging people in more if possible. We may expect you to be based in the office full-time during the first six-months. Those seeking a part-time role may also be considered.
