  Tackling economic inequality

  Digital Space is tackling economic inequality primarily by recruiting Apprentices. Digital Space has a programme in place to source local apprenticeship talent for several of our first line roles. These apprentices are then developed into the business. Key areas of focus for the scheme are our Network Operation Centre and Helpdesk 1st lines, Customer Services and Sales. We will also look to take Product Managers, HR and Administration/Finance apprentices on an ad hoc basis. Our apprenticeship programme works with local schools but also partners with specialised external companies to ensure we get the right talent for the future talent pool of our business. ; ; More generally, Digital Space creates employment for approximately 200 positions in the company head office and warehousing facilities in Newark, with the remaining 150 roles located across all regions of the United Kingdom.; We support home and flexible working, offer salary sacrifice for childcare vouchers, and all staff have the opportunity to opt into private health and dental care schemes.

The company aims to create a workplace where employees are confident of fair treatment, have access to opportunities and where the company has a mechanism for solving any problems that occur.; ; Digital Space supports the Equality Act 2010, where “equal opportunities” upholds the idea that all employees should be entitled to and have access to all of Digital Space’s facilities at every stage of employment, including the pre-employment phase.; That means every employee at Digital Space should have:; • An equal chance to apply and be selected for posts pre-employment; • An equal chance to be trained, developed, and promoted whilst employed with the company; • An equal chance to have their employment terminated equally and fairly; Employees have the right to:; • Fair practices and behaviour in the workplace; • Fair allocations of workload; • A workplace that is free from unlawful discrimination, harassment or bullying; • Merit based selection process for recruitment and promotion; • Fair processes to deal with work-related complaints and grievances; ; We scored 71% on the government's Modern Slavery Assessment Tool and require all staff to complete regular training on diversity and inclusion issues.
