GoCardless allows me the flexibility to balance an executive role as CFO with being a mum to two girls. The flexibility means I am able to fully commit to my role without worrying about disappointing my daughters by not being at key school events.

Our office is designed to help people continue doing great work. We have a quiet room that can be used for expressing or meditation and prayer. We also have a changing table and kid friendly activities for visiting families.

The kids absolutely loved the parent’s and carer’s day and now have a totally unrealistic sense of what a real job is 😉!
Jon, Senior Manager, BI
GoCardless parents
"Being a first-time father is scary enough. The enhanced parental leave gave me the chance to support my partner and spend time with my daughter in the most precious stages of her life."
Robin, Director of Talent
“When a member of your team returns after parental leave, things may have changed. It’s important to have a structure to ease back in and give them the flexibility to set their own pace."
Matt, Design Manager
"My team and manager have been incredibly supportive - I can work remotely and they've been very helpful and made sure I have everything I need to express breast milk at work.”
Blanca, Product Designer
