BGS (GSNI) is committed to being an employer of choice and strive to embrace a culture of equality, diversity, inclusivity and flexibility.

We have achieved a number of accreditations:

Benefits include a range of flexible working opportunities and a generous annual leave entitlement and auto enrolment into a very competitive pension scheme.

There is currently ample, free parking for all staff based at Belfast and an on-site restaurant.
