Every third week, during working hours, you will provide Platform support via Slack and our ticketing system. This rotation serves as a chance to learn about all aspects of the GoHenry infrastructure and allows the others in the team to focus on deep work. It is also a brilliant opportunity to strengthen connections with other colleagues across the organisation.

- Family-friendly leave policies
- Enhanced maternity and paternity leave
- Westfield Cash Health Plan (for you and your children)
