candidates. We will look to ensure a fair and consistent experience for all, and will make
reasonable adjustments to support you where appropriate. Please flag any adjustments you
need to your recruiter as early as you can.

We’ve embraced hybrid working and split our time between unique office spaces and the
convenience of working from home. You’ll find out more about what hybrid working looks
like for your role later on in the recruitment process.


Your office space
 

Primary:
Osterley

Our Osterley Campus is a 10-minute walk from Syon Lane train station. Or you can hop on
one of our free shuttle buses that run to and from Osterley, Gunnersbury, Ealing Broadway
and South Ealing tube stations. There are also plenty of bike shelters and showers.

On campus, you’ll find 13 subsidised restaurants, cafes, and a Waitrose. You can keep in
shape at our subsidised gym, catch the latest shows and movies at our cinema, get your car
washed, and even get pampered at our beauty salon.


Leeds

Leeds is home to two Sky offices; our contact centre and digital tech hub at Whitehall, and
our Central Square customer sales centre right at the heart of the city. Our modern spaces,
with subsidised cafes and dedicated break-out spaces, provide a balance for our hybrid
working teams. Need a break? You can blow off steam over a game of pool or table tennis, or
stay fit with local gym discounts


Livingston Watermark House

Our lively campus is a free shuttle bus away from Livingston South train station and the town
centre. Plus there’s onsite parking available for cars, motorbikes and bicycles.

You’ll be well fed at our subsidised canteen, and you can keep in shape at our onsite gym
or play a game of pool or table tennis.

Brentwood

This location takes some beating: we’re practically in Brentwood station, which has regular
trains to London Liverpool Street. If you find it easier to drive, there’s some onsite parking,
while Chatham Way car park is a short walk away.

 

Thomas More Square

Our Tech, Product and Data teams sit across from Tower Bridge in the heart of Wapping.
Tower Hill Underground Station is a 10-minute walk away, while Wapping and Shadwell
train stations are 15 minutes away. Bike shelters and showers await those who prefer two-
wheeled transport.


Brick Lane

Brick Lane is in the heart of the East End of London. It's part of a vibrant and diverse
community; close to street food, cafes and shops. The closest tube station is Aldgate East and
Liverpool Street is about a 10 minute walk.


 

We'd love to hear from you

Inventive, forward-thinking minds come together to work in Tech, Product and Data at Sky.
It’s a place where you can explore what if, how far, and what next.

But better doesn’t stop at what we do, it’s how we do it, too. We embrace each other’s
differences. We support our community and contribute to a sustainable future for our
business and the planet.


If you believe in better, we’ll back you all the way.

Just so you know: if your application is successful, we’ll ask you to complete a criminal
record check. And depending on the role you have applied for and the nature of any
convictions you may have, we might have to withdraw the offer.
