About Venture Stream
What is Venture Stream?
Venture Stream is a Newcastle-based independent digital marketing & ecommerce agency offering Web & Ecommerce, Digital Marketing, and Brand & Creative services. The careers-page tagline: "Rewarding careers at a company that genuinely puts people first."
Venture Stream is one of the UK's earliest 4-day-week employers. From the careers page (verbatim): "As featured on the BBC's The One Show, we're one of the UK's first 4 day week employers. We'll pay you a full time salary to work over 4 days to help you achieve a better work life balance."
The company is Great Place To Work Certified — from the careers page (verbatim): "We're Great Place To Work Certified! 100% of our team said that when you join the company, you are made to feel welcome in an independent survey."
Where will I work?
Venture Stream operates from a Newcastle city-centre office (telephone 0191 809 0704; email [email protected]). From the careers page: "With Newcastle city centre on the doorstep and therefore the choice of almost any cuisine, lunch is on us every Friday." The company offers flexi hours and working-from-home options: "We want to put the life back into work life balance, so we offer flexi hours and working from home options for everyone."
What is the Venture Stream team like?
Around 28 people work at Venture Stream. The team self-describes as "a team, inside and out of the office and regularly organise activities together." The office is dog-friendly: "To save on doggy day care and to generally enjoy taking some time to hang out with the dogs, it's bring your dog to work day every day." There's a game-console and pool-table break-room: "Breaks improve productivity and keep us motivated. So if taking a dog out for a walk, nipping to town or grabbing a coffee isn't your thing, then we also have game consoles and a pool table to enjoy during breaks."
Learning is on the agenda: "Learning is important to us, so we regularly host a whole range of workshops to help improve your professional and personal development."
Work-Life Balance
Venture Stream pays full-time salary for a 4-day week: "We'll pay you a full time salary to work over 4 days to help you achieve a better work life balance."
