Fancy a Job?

At Oakland, we are building a company we can all be proud of, but to make this happen, we need brilliant people.

  • What Makes Oakland Different?

    • We have a long history but a tech start-up mentality. So we’re small enough for you to make your mark and make a difference as we grow
    • We’re proud to be one of Best Companies top 100 small businesses to work for
    • We are tech agnostic and work with a diverse range of tech, so there is always something to learn, and you can learn from some of the best in the business

    We need people who are dedicated to delivering ingenious solutions which solve our clients’ most challenging problems. We’re always looking for brilliant people to join the team. Our current vacancies are listed below but if you’d really like to work for us then drop us your CV at joinus@theoaklandgroup.co.uk with a covering letter and we’ll see if we can make it happen.

    Values

    Our values aren’t just marketing fluff and catchy soundbites. They guide us and reflect who we are and how we do things. To decide what our values should be, we focused on what makes Oakland unique. The closer we looked, we discovered common attitudes, qualities, and traits despite our different personalities and backgrounds. We thought, what if we could bottle and share these? So that is precisely what we did.

    We are:

    Passionate • Curious • Tenacious • Principled • Technically Excellent

    It’s more than a job

    We like to think of Oakland as a family (maybe a bit dysfunctional but a family nevertheless), and we actively encourage teams to get together as often as possible. We’ve held away days, beer tastings, board game nights fueled by beer and pizza, and we’ve even got a Strava Group to try and encourage us to get fit. You think of the idea and we’ll make it happen* (*within reason of course)

    Giving Back

    We all have a cause that is particularly close to our hearts, so with the Oakland giving back scheme, you choose the charity and activity, and we’ll double the contribution. We also run team events like the Macmillan Big Coffee morning to raise money together, and we’re always looking for new challenges.

    Benefits

    At the Oakland Group, our brilliant people mean everything, and we go out of our way to look after them. If you decide to join us, you can expect the following benefits

    Bonus scheme
    We offer a yearly performance-based bonus. When we do well, you’ll do well. We believe in sharing in our success
    Dedicated training
    We wholeheartedly believe in training and self-improvement and have budgeted training days based on your role. We do all the usual things like AWS and Azure but we also encourage you to find the tools and training to help you become even more brilliant
    Bring your dog to work
    The mental health benefits of pets in the workplace are clear. They make us get up from our desks and speak to the people around us, they help us release more oxytocin and relax us, and you know what, we just love them. So if your dog is well behaved and doesn’t wee on the floor, they’re in
    Company wellness scheme
    Our resident ‘Head of Happiness’ and qualified mental health first aider Jane arranges coffee chats, quizzes, team socials, and wellness webinars with talks from experts on topics such as stress, nutrition, sleep management, and movement together with yoga and meditation sessions
    Private healthcare for you and your family
    Your health and wellbeing is the most important thing in the world, so we offer a comprehensive AXA private health care package for you and your family which includes discounted gym memberships and physiotherapy and counselling sessions
    Flexible working
    We know great work isn’t just done in the office, so we offer flexible working arrangements which allow you to work from home up to 3 days a week
    Recommend a friend scheme
    If you know someone brilliant then please introduce us. If it all works out you’ll get a £2,000 thank you bonus, and that’s definitely worth having.
    25 days holiday
    Taking a break is incredibly important for your mental health and wellbeing, so we encourage everyone to take their full holiday entitlement and switch off from emails and calls
    Industry-leading pension
    Saving for the future isn’t always top of your list of priorities, so we provide a generous pension contribution to help you build up a healthy pot for when you do want to take your foot off the gas
