Netball has been thrust into the limelight since England's elite team, the 'Vitality Roses', made history by winning gold at the 2018 Commonwealth Games. Now England Netball is "leading a movement on and beyond the court" with passionate people "dedicated to making netball the best it can be."
The not-for-profit business and national governing body for England's biggest female team sport is responsible for the strategic approach to netball nationwide, from grassroots to international championships. Its programmes entice new women and girls into the game and encourage those who may have last scored in high school back onto the court.
Based in Loughborough, England Netball's culture "makes it a special place to work." And wellbeing is a priority.
Staff can work flexibly, splitting their time between home and the office, and every one-to-one meeting starts with a wellbeing check-in score to open up conversations. Managers actively encourage their teams to take leave regularly, and employees can take time for themselves, even at short notice, with a dedicated wellbeing day every year.
Team members can take advantage of hypnotherapy, reiki, head massages and other therapies through the organisation's health care cash plan, and everyone has access to a wellness hub with online workouts, meditation, relaxation and sleep resources. And the Employee Assistance Programme offers peace-of-mind access to a 24/7 GP and counselling support.
