We recognise that flexibility is really important to our diverse workforce.  We know that our team members have many other aspects to their lives – carer’s responsibilities, personal interests, volunteer activities etc. We are committed to supporting our team to integrate work into the rest of their lives. 

Flexibility can be seen in – for example - your working hours, and your working location. I think the George being a flexible environment is what makes this a really special place to work

In 20 years, The George has grown to 700+ people in 13 countries. We have projects in 45 countries and extensive global partnerships that help maximise the influence of our health and medical research around the world. 

The research we deliver has global implications. For example, if we‘ve found out something new about blood pressure, that affects millions of people around the world. Our work and research is guided by what will have the greatest impact globally.

Most of our work is published in very high-impact journals. Our work informs clinical practice AND public health policy-making.

In our most recent employee engagement survey, 84% of The George team said they believe in our values, which is well above global benchmarks.
