Work With Us In-House!

We don’t have any in-house vacancies at the moment—watch this space!

Would you like to work with us in-house at Atlas Translations? We’re a small but busy team working out of our offices in St Albans, Devon, Manchester, Edinburgh, and Exeter, offering fun and interesting careers at Atlas Translations. We also employ part-time staff and encourage flexible working.

Work From Home

We offer working from home, and in July 2019, we introduced the four-day week to help staff maintain a healthier work/life balance. We didn’t reduce their salaries. These choices meant we were able to easily transition to home working during the COVID-19 pandemic. During the pandemic, all of our staff were safely working from home. We now offer a “your choice” working environment—you can work from home or from our Head office in St Albans!

Childcare vouchers, working from home one day a week, NEST pension, bottomless tea and coffee, paid holidays and bank holidays are standard. We do not require any overtime and believe in a good work/other life balance. There is a monthly bonus scheme based on office turnover. A second bonus is paid based on individual projects, AND there is a quarterly bonus for the highest-performing project manager.

Applying In-House

We have recruited two additional staff this year (2023-24) and don’t have any PM vacancies at the moment. Staff tend to stay at Atlas for quite a while, so vacancies are rare. If you’re interested in getting your CV in front of us for future openings, please email the team at team@atlas-translations.co.uk.

Make it personal and creative, and make us notice you (in a good way). Don’t forget to attach your updated CV. We will securely keep your details on file and contact you if something comes up.

Cake!

Cake is so important that it gets its own heading. We love cake, and we’re not bashful about admitting it. Also, tea. Here at Atlas, cake will usually appear for a birthday or other “legitimate” excuse.

Out and About with Atlas!

If you want to find out about us and careers at Atlas Translations, this website, our blogs and social media are great places to start. We are active members of our local business communities in Hertfordshire, Devon, Manchester, Edinburgh and Bath. Being communicators, we will talk to anyone about translation and the language business.

You might meet us at an exhibition, at a careers fair, talking at a university careers evening or at the Language Show. Suppliers can sign up to attend our Open Days, which we hold twice a year. This is a free event, and anyone can attend, even if you have not worked with us yet.
