Never a dull moment
Each team is made up of experts in their chosen field which makes for some exciting projects and strategies. Plus, it keeps our clients happy.
We're effective when we work, but keep it during defined hours. We're not keen on the term play hard, but we do have the opportunity for people to socialise if they want to. Our social committee make sure when we get out of the office, it’s to do something different. We have regular staff socials as well as a monthly social Friday and extra-long lunches for everyone to get together and relax. We also like to use our power for good by giving and organising an annual charitable day off.
Work/life balance
Life gets busy and we all value time spent with our loved ones. That’s why Crafted has flexible working hours between 8am and 6pm and operate a no email after 6pm policy. We don’t expect you to work unreasonable hours or miss out on important events in your life. We make wellbeing a priority, working with Suffolk Mind to talk stress, sleep and mental health awareness, plus free yoga classes will help you relax. There's also an employee assistance programme for any confidential help and support we all may need from time to time.
Pay day joy
We know you’re wondering about the money – it’s cool, it's important. As well as competitive salaries, Crafted has a regular and annual bonus scheme, a company-contributed pension and we help with season tickets for train travel. To reward you long-term we offer sabbaticals and extra days of holiday, but you'll receive 25 days plus 8 bank holidays as a starting point.

Perks and socials
Alongside our benefits, we like to provide a few perks that brighten up coming into our large modern office, along with regular socials that bring everyone together. Here are some of the highlights:
- We feel it’s important for us to get together and eat, so we also regularly plan long lunches where we provide the food and give you a chance to catch up with everyone
- Regular fueling is key to performance so help yourself, at any time of day, to breakfast cereals, toast, yoghurts, fruit, and healthy snacks (although we love a donut too)
- There is a bean to cup coffee machine, which is clever enough to do you a cappuccino or a latte for your caffeine needs

- We offer flexible working hours. Work life balance is important to us
- We love encouraging groups who enjoy the same things to get together. We have a run club and football club but we have had an active book club, crochet, and ukulele club in the past so anything goes – just find your people and do it
- We offer optional social events such as end of month socials which can include anything from pumpkin carving to trying out the latest local pizza place, summer and Christmas parties, along with Crafted experience days (the chance to get crafty or get active with your fellow Crafties, from go-karting afternoons to baking masterclasses)
