Job Description

The Company

At Fora, we're fuelled by a desire to enhance the way people work. We're here for the progressives, the forward thinkers, the status quo-challengers, the creators and the innovators. With signature hospitality, a like minded community of members and a re-energising wellness experience, Fora takes the grind out of daily work-life, so members can focus on what's important - working productively, healthily and happily.


Our journey began over 20 years ago, when we opened our first location on London's City Road. Since then, our collection has grown to over 60 distinctive workspaces across London, the UK and Germany, totalling 3.2 million sq ft of real estate. Over the last two decades we have welcomed approximately 300,000 members through our doors, with over 30,000 members today, and boast market-leading retention rates.


As a trusted workspace provider for teams of all sizes, from established brands to new ventures, our uniquely designed, flexible office spaces come with a range of exceptional on-site amenities and a dedicated Member Experience team to take care of all the day-to-day details. Ocado, The British Fashion Council and Pangaia are just some of the businesses who call a Fora workspace home.


Fora is London's leading provider of flexible office spaces . All of our design-led spaces are open and supported by our dedicated front-of- house teams, five days per week. We pride ourselves on being a highly collaborative team, with our best work happening in-person, at our Fitzrovia-based headquarters. Our current working pattern allows for all head-office employees to work remotely one day per week.


Fora is part of The Office Group, backed by Blackstone and Brockton Capital. We have ambitious plans to expand our collection of workspaces in the future, pioneering industry change through our conscious design and construction practices, and creating workspaces that empower our members to work in their own unique way.
