WHO ARE WE?

Bliss is a digital agency that helps organisations to make the world a better place. 

We do this by providing strategy, development and support services to charities and nonprofits, to help them achieve their purpose and meet their objectives.

We were founded in Manchester in 2010, but have been fully remote since 2020 and now have colleagues across the UK and beyond.

Bliss is a certified B Corp™ and Social Enterprise - we’re counted among businesses that are leading a global movement for an inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economy. We are also certified employers with Disability Confident and the Living Wage Foundation.

Bliss is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace where everyone feels valued, respected, and supported. We welcome applications regardless of sex, gender, race, age, sexuality, belief or disability.

Location

Bliss is a fully remote/distributed business, with no central office. You’ll therefore need a comfortable and productive home workspace.

Despite this, we understand the importance and benefits of face-to-face contact, and enable this in several ways. This includes optional quarterly meetups, weekly all-company video calls, and paid access to coworking space. 

Values

At Bliss, personal values are as important as experience and skills. If you’re not a good fit for our agency, you won’t enjoy your job, and that’s not good for anyone.

• Be Good
  We look after each other, the planet, and all humankind.
  We’re not selfless, but will choose to do the right thing above all else.
• Be Open
  We are honest and transparent with our colleagues and clients.
  We hope to create friendships from work relationships, gaining trust and respect.
• Be Harmonious
  We work to the same goals even if we don’t agree individually.
  We value collective success as much as we do personal victories.

BENEFITS

• Flexitime - organise your work around your life.
• Healthcare scheme, including counselling, dental and opticians.
• Accident and accidental death benefit.
• Profit-related bonus.
• Buy / sell holiday scheme.
• Individual annual training budget, plus additional budget for group activities.
• Fully paid quarterly social meetups.
• Holiday loyalty scheme - earn up to 30 holidays per year.
• 5% matched contributions on your pension.
• Tax-free working from home allowance to help with energy bills.
• Employee purchase scheme, to help you buy office furniture, headphones and laptop bags.

Some benefits are only available after probation, and can be withdrawn or amended in the future to ensure they are providing value for the team and business. Generally though, we’ll be looking to add and improve these over time.

Do you have retail and people management experience? Do you have a passion for delivering great standards and developing your team? Do you want to be part of something exciting that will truly make a difference to the lives of people around you?
