Building Confidence At The Top: Leadership Insights | CreateFuture
It Doesn’t Have to Be Lonely at the Top
At CreateFuture, we recruit great people with the right skills to join our talented, diverse team. Working with us, you’ll have ambitious projects to sink your teeth into and plenty of opportunities to learn and grow – you’ve got the potential, we’ll help you to fulfil it.
We’ve been awarded the Best Workplaces UK award multiple years in a row. But do you know what a great place to work needs? Great people. Like you. Because our team of doers and thinkers are the key to delivering exceptional results for our clients.
CreateFuture is a place where you’ll feel at home, with a safe, supportive and friendly culture that looks after you, helping you feel and perform at your best.
Sound like the place for you? Take a look at our open roles, or send through a speculative application – you just might be who we’re looking for.
We believe that happy, healthy teams deliver better outcomes for everyone. It’s why we support our people’s well-being through benefits like private healthcare and counselling services.
Because it’s only when you’re at your best that we’re at our best.
Learning and development isn’t just a buzzword here – we take it seriously. We have a whole team dedicated to encouraging your development. You’ll have paid learning and development time and a budget to support your personal and professional development. You’ll have access to our innovation platform where you’ll have the chance to try out new technology and have the space to explore fresh ideas.
You’ll be able to develop the skills you want and take your career where you want to go.
And we’ll support you every step of the way.
Work-life balance is important. Without it, not only does our health suffer, but we can’t perform at our best at work either.
Nobody wins that way.
To encourage that balance, you’ll have flexible hours and enjoy remote or hybrid work. You’ll also get 35 days’ holiday and inclusive family leave policies, for those important moments when life comes first.

Pension matched up to 5%

At CreateFuture, we like to do things a little differently – and recruitment is no exception.
We believe hiring shouldn’t just be ticking boxes. That means hiring the right person, rather than the right background. Energy, passion and drive is more important to us than a university degree.
It’s why our in-house talent acquisition team carries out assessments that focus on whether you have the skills for the job and the right values.
And recruitment isn’t a faceless process either. We take it personally – you won’t just meet the hiring manager, but people from across the business to get a feel for our culture.
For us, it’s all about the people.

Top Tips for Facilitating Great Collaborative Workshops
Why are sprints two weeks long?
Director of Technology
One thing that works well at CreateFuture is when people take their personal development days to look at something totally different to what they do day-to-day, where they can work with other engineers and learn new skills from each other. It’s particularly rewarding then to see some of these side projects getting deployed and used in teams.
Senior Talent Acquisition Partner
With a background in recruiting for the Higher Education sector, CreateFuture gave me the opportunity to get into the tech sector. I’ve been here for almost 2 years now and they’ve provided me with the support to grow and develop at pace. I’ve learnt so much in the past couple of years and really feel part of something special as we continue to grow. Everyone has a voice here at CreateFuture and I’ve never been a part of such a collaborative workplace before.
Marketing Executive
CreateFuture is the most supportive place I’ve worked! There are so many talented people I get to work with and learn from everyday. What’s also refreshing is that everyone is eager to learn from each other and there’s always room for me to give my thoughts and ideas, which makes me feel extremely valued. No matter your job role, you’ll always be encouraged to speak up and be listened to, which is great.
Senior Internal Communications Partner
I genuinely enjoy coming to work everyday which is a real testament to the type of company CreateFuture is. I’m encouraged to be curious and propose new ideas that challenge the status quo. But most importantly, I love the people that I work with. It’s a great feeling to deliver projects that you’re passionate about while also having fun with the people you’re delivering it with!
Our values reflect the core of who we are and how we operate – they show what’s important to us:
We do what’s right, not what’s convenient. We question the norm, push the boundaries and find new ways to improve. It’s how we create the best outcomes for our clients.
We care about our work. We care about our clients and our colleagues. We care about you. It’s why we do everything we can to ensure the happiness of our employees and our clients. We strive to be an organisation that people want to work for and want to work with.
Your voice matters. We all have unique talents and perspectives that can contribute to the success of everything we do. Because together, we’re unstoppable.
When you’re an employee at CreateFuture, you belong. Your uniqueness is acknowledged and celebrated. It’s why we have employee-led communities. These communities are spaces where colleagues can support each other, share ideas, encourage passions, and advocate for change.
We have communities centred around accessibility, sustainability, well-being, STEM, neurodiversity, LGBTQ+, parents and caregivers, as well as women in engineering.
We believe the diversity of our people, reflected by these communities, is the secret to our success.
The CreateFuture Campus gives emerging talent the opportunity to gain meaningful experience, grow their skills and accelerate their career path.
Our graduates and interns are an integral part of the CreateFuture team from day one, and learn the ins and outs of digital practices, giving them everything they need to kick-start their careers in tech and unleash their potential.
We do! Some of our roles are remote and some will require travel to the office or client site; the specifics of each are outlined on our adverts and will be discussed with you in depth at the recruitment stage. We have people who work 9–5 pm, others who work 8–4 pm, and some people who work around doing the school run. We believe that flexible working is crucial for building a diverse workplace.
Receipt of your application will be confirmed within 24 hours after you apply. If you’ve been selected to begin the interview process, you should hear from us within a few days. Exact timelines for progression through the interview process vary for each role and applicant. We also take into account your availability and any logistical needs when conducting interviews remotely with candidates.
Yes! In fact, we love hearing from proactive, motivated professionals about how they can contribute to our team. Please send an email to talent@createfuture.com to submit a speculative application.
Absolutely, we now have a Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) strategy which reflects our commitment to fostering an inclusive and equitable workplace. We have main areas of focus to direct our efforts to address the particular needs and context of CreateFuture. We also have a DEIB Charter which sets the expectations and standards for behaviour and practices related to DEIB and holds us accountable for achieving these standards. We take steps to try and ensure every voice is heard, building trust and a psychologically safe environment where people at CreateFuture feel safe to challenge and are empowered to bring their authentic selves to work.
