Working at Starlight was sincerely one of the best companies I’ve ever worked for. From my 1st day I was supported and welcomed into a friendly and positive team/office. I was respected and valued in my time at starlight, had lots of laughs with a collaborative team and my manager allowed the flexibility I needed to support my family. The Starlight Foundation are truly unique and create an amazing working culture
The good thingsFlexibility of hours for work/life/balance, a real positive team culture, inclusion and support.
The challengesNot the company's fault but because it's a charity the salaries are challenging.
