How we work

Our two way deal

We see working at Seccl as a two-way deal. We expect everyone we hire to take ownership, care deeply about their work and never settle in pursuit of better – for themselves, for our customers and for the millions they serve. In return, you can expect a flexible, inclusive environment where you’re encouraged to be yourself, learn and develop, and have fun.

The give: our operating principles

We want to fundamentally transform a sector for good. That takes a high-performance culture that brings out the best in the talented people we hire. We expect everybody to…

1

Never settle
We think of ourselves as ‘embedded hero-makers’ for our customers. We put them first, and if we say we’ll do something, we’ll move heaven earth to do it. We think boldly and embrace change.

2

Take ownership
We think rigorously and deeply about a problem, but then charge at it, acting with and urgency and speed that sets us apart. But we never lose sight on quality or long-term scalability.

3

Be generous and candid
We encourage our people – and our customers – to challenge us and never shy away from tough conversations. We have a flat and inclusive culture where everyone can be themselves – and speak up.

The get: perks of the job

  • Flexible/hybrid working

    Our approach to hybrid is simple: it’s not showing up physically that matters, but showing up emotionally. Some teams may work slightly differently, depending on what they’re doing.

  • Events and socials

    Twice-yearly all-company offsites, regular team socials and plenty of non-work activities – from gigs to sporting activities – to get stuck into.

  • Private medical

    Access GP and other health and dental appointments work through private medical insurance.

  • Focus on mental health

    Your wellbeing is more important than work. We offer free and confidential access to therapy if you need it.

  • Long-service award

    A month’s fully-paid sabbatical when you’ve worked here for eight years (we’re part of Octopus, after all).

  • The usual stuff

    27 days’ holiday (plus religious holidays and your birthday), Cycle2Work scheme and workplace pension.

Picture of
The fact I’m still here is all the evidence you need. Software devs tend to move around quite a bit, but I couldn’t be happier. Seccl is for you if you want the freedom to work in the way that you prefer.

Where we work

Based in Bath, Edinburgh, London and beyond

We’re a hybrid working environment, with a mix of fully office-based, fully remote, and somewhere in between.

Bath
Our Bath HQ: 20 Manvers Street

In 2020, we moved into our bright and airy HQ on Manvers Street, right in the centre of Bath. Today, around 75 Secclers live in the Bath/Bristol/South West area and use this HQ as their main office hub.

Edinburgh
Our Edinburgh HQ: Clarence House, George Street

We opened our first Edinburgh office in 2022 – a temporary shared workspace above Jo Malone on George Street (who knew an office could smell so good). In June 2023 we moved into our new permanent home on the top floor of 133 George Street. It’s essentially a free gym membership – three flights of stairs up! But the reward is worth it, with views of the castle and the sea.

London
Our London hub: 33 Holborn

Since we’re dual-headquartered in Bath and Edinburgh, we do the vast majority of our hiring in the South West and Scotland – two vibrant talent pools for financial services technology. But following our acquisition by Octopus in September 2019, we opened a small satellite hub in the main Octopus HQ. We currently have around half a dozen desks on the 6th floor. It’s perfect for the small number of Secclers who live in London (some of us worked at Octopus previously) and also provides a great venue for client meetings.

Building a truly diverse and welcoming place to work

  • 78%

    feel safe to be their authentic selves

  • 9%

    identify as having a neurodiverse condition eg ADHD

  • 82%

    agree that Seccl values diversity

We want to create a culture that celebrates difference and shuns conformity. That’s why we benchmark our gender, ethnic, sexual and cognitive diversity, and talk regularly and openly as a team about the steps we can take to make our environment as welcoming as we possibly can.

But we’ve still got plenty of work to do…

We’re still far from being the truly diverse organisation we aspire to be. In particular, we’re working hard to become a much more gender balanced organisation – and are also on track to become an accredited neurodiverse workplace.
