Gemma Vine, Senior Delivery Assurance Executive, says “Having come back from maternity leave May last year, EDF have been flexible and where we can now work from home, I am able to do 4 longer days to have a day off in the week with my son. This not only helps financially as it’s a day less of childcare, but I am also getting some quality time with my son.”

We strive to create an inclusive and diverse environment where everyone has a voice and where you feel confident being yourself.  We’re committed to equality, diversity, inclusion.  We’d like our future workforce to have an equal gender balance, represent a broad mix of people from minority ethnic backgrounds, LGBTQ+, those with a disability and supporting social mobility.
