Life At Finisterre
Our Culture,
Built Together
We spend a lot of time shaping our culture, creating a hard working yet easy going environment where individuals can fulfil their potential and help the brand achieve its vision and goals.
There are still the surfboards and wetsuits by the door, several office dogs and people won’t think twice about jumping in the sea when the tide is right. It’s simply part of who we are.
To feed that connection, once a week at Wheal Kitty, we have Sea Tuesday – starting work an hour later and spending that time in, on or near the sea. The whole business then gets together, and we share the morning’s experiences – you can always feel the energy in the room that this extra sea time has given us.
We want everyone to reach their full potential, so we invest in our teams.
As a certified B Corp, we are committed to striving to be better in everything we do, and we strongly encourage this ethos in our people. We want everyone to reach their full potential, so we invest in our teams, providing learning opportunities at all levels and looking internally first to find future talent as we grow. ‘How we turn up to work’ runs deeply through our development program, and all new starters get access to the Finisterre Culture Toolkit app from day one, to kickstart their learning.

We celebrate difference and believe that everyone should feel able to be themselves at work.
Finisterre is also committed to building diverse and inclusive teams. Although united by a common purpose, we celebrate difference and believe that everyone should feel able to be themselves at work. We value people as individuals with diverse opinions, cultures, lifestyles, and circumstances. We are committed to equality of opportunity for all team members and applications from all individuals are welcome.
Joining our crew gives you access to a wide range of benefits, that champion the things important to us:
Support
An accredited Living Wage Employer, all of our people receive a real living wage or higher, relative to their role. We provide a workplace pension scheme and bonus opportunities for all and promote a healthy work life balance, with a great holiday allowance that rises with length of service, and your birthday off. We also enable our people to give back through our volunteering program and support families with enhanced family leave.
Flexibility
We have embraced hybrid working post-pandemic and champion flexibility in many forms. In our stores we have multiple hours and working patterns to support diverse needs.
Growth
As we grow and evolve, we want our people to grow too – supporting and encouraging our teams to seek out opportunities for learning and development for both their current and potential future roles. We proudly celebrate long service, honouring commitment and dedication to the brand, and our quarterly ‘Living It’ Award celebrates those people who demonstrate exceptional commitment to our values.
Product
We believe in our product and want all our crew to get maximum enjoyment from it, so we have a generous team discount as well as a friends and family code for each member of staff. Those who work in our stores receive a product allowance, and we often gift product to our teams and hold staff sample sales.
Wellbeing
We provide access to a wide range of wellbeing programs, including an employee assistance program, life assurance, counselling services, headspace membership, eye tests, yoga classes, and cycle to work scheme – as well as a variety of other resources to support your mental health and wellbeing.
Team
We run regular social events, team days and even the odd summer camping trip! Sea Tuesday is our weekly opportunity to take an hour out to embrace elements and spend time connecting with our teammates, the ocean and our purpose.
