Life at Nexus

Our work is recognised across the industry, reflecting the quality of our advice, the skills of our people and the outcomes we deliver for our clients. Working alongside talented individuals across five offices and multiple teams is just one part of life at Nexus. It’s also about:

  • Contributing to a culture where who you are is as important as what you do
  • Participating in projects that improve our communities
  • Helping us grow as a business, as you develop your own career
  • Being recognised for your contribution to our business and our clients
  • Enjoying what you do
Diversity and inclusion

We have built a diverse and inclusive team, and have seen the value that different perspectives and experiences bring to our work, our culture and the advice we provide to clients. We will continue to broaden representation across Nexus as we grow.

How we support our team:

Recognising the importance of your health and wellbeing

Our Health Cash Plan, Private Medical Insurance and Colleague Assistance Service are here to help you look after your health and get support quickly when you or your family need it.

Helping you plan for your future

We partner with an award-winning specialist pension provider - Scottish Widows - to give you the opportunity to build your pension, supported by financial contributions from us.

Ensuring you develop and grow

Paying for your RTPI membership is a given. We believe in helping our team progress as planning specialists, with CPD, learning support, and coaching all part of how we work.

Embedding social responsibility in everything we do

Social value and sustainability are driving forces in how we work. Our Social Value group allows us to support good causes, nationally and locally, not just through raising funds, but also by raising awareness.

Valuing your contribution

We are committed to providing a competitive, fair salary. Sharing our success with a discretionary bonus, and making sure you have the time away from work to focus on those important parts of your life through a generous leave allowance, are just some of the ways we show our appreciation.

Supporting you when the unexpected happens

Our Group Income Protection and Life Assurance schemes provide security during the most challenging times.

Being a true part of our business

It’s important to us that everyone at Nexus has the opportunity to shape our business. Accordingly, we have an established Employee Forum that meets regularly to discuss and suggest business and workplace improvements.

Understanding family is important

Whilst work is part of our everyday life, for many of us, family is the priority. Generous family-focused policies allow you to share time with family, including annual leave and maternity and paternity arrangements.

Working flexibly

We support hybrid working, recognising the importance of balancing time in the office with time working remotely. Our flexible approach is built on trust, collaboration and delivering the best outcomes for our clients.

Connecting as a team

We meet as a whole company twice a year to share knowledge, collaborate and spend time together. This is an important part of how we learn from each other and maintain a strong, connected team.
