Working environment

Cydar is based in Barrington, just outside Cambridge. Our offices are located in a historic water mill with views over the surrounding countryside.

Due to the pandemic we are currently working in a fully distributed way. We have always given support for flexible working arrangements and this has enabled us to adapt well to the changes required this year. We will continue to offer flexible working arrangements once home working is no longer and imperative — arrangements for a balance of office- and home- based working at other times can be discussed.

Diversity

Cydar is an inclusive workplace and we positively welcome applications from all backgrounds. Applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, colour, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, and other protected characteristics.
