JustPark benefits

Plus we know it’s not all about work! That’s why we also offer benefits like unlimited holiday and enhanced maternity leave.
We want teams that enjoy spending time together. So we’ve built a culture that encourages teams to get to know each other – we run company-wide away days and annual retreats to get us away from the desk. Our in-house chef provides a freshly cooked lunch every day, giving us the opportunity to catch up over great food (check out whatsjuliecooking for some inspiration!)
Our teams work hard to make JustPark a success, so it’s important to us that they can share in that success. That’s why we offer stock options to every member of the team. We work hard to achieve some ambitious goals with the knowledge we’re building something truly valuable.
We’re in this for the long term, and we have big ambitions for the future. To help us get there, we want to grow our own superstars from within. We fund additional training, provide mentoring and work with you to develop a career plan so we can help you get where you want to go, too.
