Working at Unilever

At Unilever you can make a strong contribution to how the business performs and impacts people’s lives. Like Meagan who helped launch the Dove Self Esteem project in the community to improve the  self esteem of girls.  We aim to ensure the impact you make is recognised and rewarded so that you feel you have made a difference.

Unilever people are passionate about our brands and products. Regardless of where they work in the business, everyone has an opportunity to share in the excitement of seeing the launch of a new product. You will really learn how a FMCG business operates from an initial idea, through the creation of a product, to it appearing on the supermarket shelf. But our passion doesn’t stop there - Unilever people are able to see how the product impacts the consumer and can change their life.

At Unilever, we value our team environment where people treat each other with integrity and respect. There is great passion, innovation and commitment to working together to fulfill ambitious goals and realise true potential. Together we have created:

• An inspiring workspace to promote innovative thinking

• Informal and friendly work environment

• A global mindset by bringing together people with a diverse range of cultures and backgrounds

Balancing career ambitions with demands of life outside work can be difficult. We support employees in fulfilling their ambitions by giving them the opportunity to work in a productive and healthy work place. In 2012, workingmums.co.uk recognised Unilever for ‘Innovation to Flexible Working’. We offer employees the opportunity to participate in our agile working scheme offering flexible hours or extended leave, for example, career breaks or enhanced maternity leave.
