About us 

 

Tower Bridge is part of City Bridge Foundation, a 900-year-old historic charity of which the City of London Corporation is Trustee. City Bridge Foundation has remained vital to London over the years and today its primary purpose is to maintain and support five of London’s most iconic Thames bridges. 

 Over the past 30 years, the charity's vision has expanded to tackle social and economic divides across the capital. Today we still maintain our bridges, and since 1995 we have awarded over £840 million to charitable organisations working to tackle inequality and injustice across London.

If this role is advertised as a secondment, secondments are subject to the agreement of your department releasing you, therefore, you need to discuss this with your line manager prior to applying.

Because our roles are so varied, we don’t have a ‘one size fits all’ policy for workplace attendance. How many days a week you’ll be required to attend your workplace will depend on the requirements of your role. It’s important that you understand the requirements before applying to ensure you are able to meet them. We are committed to considering requests to work flexibly and job share. Requests will be considered by the recruiting manager in line with our policies and business needs. 

For more information on our categories for workplace attendance, please view our guide here.   

We will be reviewing this policy and approach at regular intervals to ensure we’re meeting our attendance needs.  

The City of London Corporation is currently undergoing a programme to ensure that our pay and reward practices are competitive and equitable across the whole organisation, to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to thrive in the work that we do.
