Looking after your wellbeing

Our success depends on our people, so looking after their health and wellbeing is really important. We offer advice and support including access to our Employee Assistance Programme, which is open 24/7. In addition, at many of our locations we have on-site gym and sports facilities. After you have completed three months continuous service, you will be entitled to receive payment for periods of absence. We encourage our people to have fun together too through our community for new starters.

Making a difference

At QinetiQ, our purpose is to “save lives, protect sovereign interests, deliver where others can’t”. This is why we exist as a company and the reason why we all get out of bed in the morning. It is well aligned with our heritage and the mission-critical markets in which we operate, in the past, now and in the future: defence, security, and critical infrastructure. We work closely with our local communities, support the Armed Forces and promote environmental sustainability and responsibility.

Diversity and inclusion

Our people are critical to our success, so it is vital that we create a workplace which is inclusive; where our differences are not only embraced but make us stronger. To achieve this, we have a Diversity and Inclusion programme to ensure we create and develop a workplace and culture where everyone can be their authentic true selves, feel valued and realise their full potential.

We have employee networks including LGBTQ+ and Neurodiversity to encourage education and awareness, provide support and to contribute to and influence policy on diversity.
