Careers
Our success as a manager of Urban Logistics REIT is based on the exceptional team we have assembled. If you are interested in joining the team, please get in touch via the link below.
Developing Talent
We recognise training is important for all members of the team, and support our team members to attain formal professional qualifications.
In particular our graduate programme offers both financial support and time off for those members of the property team seeking to become accredited with RICS, via the Assessment of Professional Competence (APC).
Team members with focuses outside of property are also given the opportunity to pursue professional qualifications relevant to their field of expertise, further expanding the knowledge and performance of our team and ensuring long-term career development.
To support the development of junior staff members, we also operate a mentoring scheme, partnering a junior staff member with a more senior member of the team to support the sharing of experience and encouraging development to senior positions in the future.
We also encourage all staff to attend relevant industry events and networks, to help with continued professional development.
INTERNSHIPS AND APPRENTICES
We are aware of the benefits to be found in developing early career talent, both for the candidate and for the long-term success of our business. As a result, we operate paid internship programs throughout the year, with placements lasting between 6 weeks and 3 months, allowing a young person to get an understanding of the world of commercial property and to gain experience across all sectors of our business.
Working with different teams within the company, our interns gain valuable life experience.
LOOKING AFTER THE TEAM
As a team we work hard, but we recognise that our staff need to maintain a work life balance, to be physically and mentally healthy, and to be properly incentivised. To this end all staff are provided the following benefits:
- Vitality Corporate Health Insurance, which also offers access to the world’s largest insurance-based employee wellbeing programme
- 5 paid days a year to work for a charity
- Cycle to work scheme, combined with showers and changing facilities at work to facilitate exercise
- Discretionary bonus program, to incentivise performance at work, and alignment with our goals as a REIT
- Enhanced maternity and paternity pay, to support staff with young families
We run annual staff surveys to measure staff engagement and satisfaction.
RECOGNISING PERFORMANCE
We run an annual appraisal process, and award bonuses where relevant on an annual basis. Our bonus structure is designed to reward both individual performance and align the team with the performance of the REIT we manage.
We believe that regular feedback is essential to develop the team, and that open communication is the most effective way to work together. We encourage regular and honest conversations with managers, but also have a formal, confidential, grievance procedure to ensure all staff are treated fairly.
DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION
We are committed to encouraging equality, diversity and inclusion among our workforce, and eliminating unlawful discrimination, and welcome applications from people of all races, genders and ethnicities.
The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative of all sections of society and our customers, and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best.
We are particularly keen to maintain a gender balance in the team, and the current gender split is 46:54 female to male.
For more information, please see our diversity and inclusion policy.
