JT provide colleagues with an opportunity to embrace flexibility to work the hours that suit them in a location of their choice – office, home or further afield under our Hybrid Working guidelines.
Through our hybrid working initiative we have diversified the ways in which we recruit, which also means that we are now able to support posts in major global locations. The benefits that are listed above are an example of those that we provide in our key locations, if you are applying from outside of these areas, please note that your compensation package might look a little different.
Our main priority is colleague wellbeing, and we hope this offers greater opportunity for a work life balance. We aim to offer this approach to all colleagues across the business, but we recognise that there are certain roles that will need to work in a specific way due to their nature, such as our colleagues working in engineering, our contact centres and our retail outlets. We are actively working with our management teams to increase flexibility wherever we can.

About JT
From its origins in 1888, JT is owned, and headquartered in Jersey, Channel Islands, where they are the largest local operator. With strong presence across the Channel Islands, the Islands have a growing digital economy and a thriving business and financial services sector, that is completely reliant on robust connectivity provided by JT.
The JT Group is much more than the incumbent domestic operator; they have formed long-standing partnerships with leading communications businesses to deliver the products and services expected from a full-service, world-class communications provider.
Defined by its innovation and responsibility for doing good for its customers, in 2018 JT became the world's first telco to provide fibre-to-the-home and businesses of 100% of all broadband users – topping the Broadband speed chart.
In 2023, JT embarked on a major network transformation in the Channel Islands, incorporating Ericsson’s advanced energy-efficient technologies. This initiative is a critical step towards launching 5G and propels JT further into technological innovation, reinforcing their mission to enhance global connectivity and customer experiences.
In recent years JT has pursued a highly successful strategy of international diversification and has grown significantly, enabling it to reinvest global revenues back into its domestic markets with a significant proportion of revenues now coming from international operations.
The recent acquisition of Spectrum Message Services, an Australian company specialising in mobile and transactional system integration, has expanded JT's Mobile Intelligence services. Spectrum's MoneyGuard provides secure transaction alerts to a global customer base of over 135 million, underlining JT's ongoing commitment to innovation and security in the digital age.
