Form of work
SalaryBT Group is the global powerhouse behind EE, BT, Plusnet, and Openreach.
We value diversity and celebrate difference. We'll encourage you to be yourself, whatever your background. As Philip Jansen, our CEO, says 'We embed diversity and inclusion into everything that we do. It's fundamental to our purpose: we connect for good.'
Whichever brand you're working for, we're all playing for the same team. And we all enjoy the rewards of being part of something bigger: the opportunities to explore new experiences, pursue different dreams, climb challenging career ladders, and try out different ways of working.
We're always looking ahead. We don't just sell broadband, and networks, and security, and thousands of clever things you've never heard of; in our Martlesham labs, we're inventing the technologies of the future.
Four brands. One team, 100,000 strong. Together, we're connecting the world. Come and play your part in building the BT Group of the future, one that will be net zero by 2030.
