SSCL is the largest provider of business-critical support services for Government, Police and Defence clients.
We employ around 2,500 people and play a vital role in transforming services through digital solutions and innovations that make things easier for our clients and their employees.
We have six Centres of Excellence across the UK – Newcastle, Glasgow, York, Blackpool, Newport and Gosport. SSCL Newcastle is where we deliver services for our clients including Human Resources, Payroll, Expenses and Benefits, Customer Contact Services and IT.
We moved into our wonderful new Newcastle office at Neon in Quorum Business Park in December 2020 and are now welcoming more colleagues back in as we move to a hybrid way of working.
Our new office still operates under COVID restrictions ensuring the safety and wellbeing of all colleagues, and we are using digital technology to support the return to office through the use of a smart booking app. Our SSCL Newcastle Centre of Excellence was designed with input and ideas from our colleagues, and we now have an environment where our people feel inspired to be their best, feel relaxed and comfortable.
SSCL is about transformation, innovation and the future. In 2021 we wanted to showcase this in a modern design, providing a bright, innovative and creative office environment. Inspiration came from Newcastle Central Train Station, Newcastle’s Co-op Tower of the 1930’s, the Tyne and Millennium Bridges and Newcastle/ Gateshead Quayside. These iconic local images have been incorporated into the artwork on walls and doors, symbolising the connection between people. The result is a neo-classical interior design inspired by Grey Street – creating an avant-garde vibe with a distinct art deco influence.
We have a number of features to benefit our colleagues:
-Wellbeing room.
-Relaxing social spaces.
-Collaborative working spaces.
-Great facilities on site and on campus.
This has been a positive move and will hopefully provide our colleagues with an office environment and facilities they can all be proud of for many years to come.
Stu Clennell, Head of Payroll Operations, SSCL Government based in Newcastle can’t speak highly enough of our new space; “Well I can honestly say that SSCL has offered that “something special” with the opening of our new office on Quorum Business Park. This new way of working has allowed the office to be specifically designed in a much more modern way. I think everyone was wary of returning to the office, but it has been amazing to see the delight on colleagues faces returning to the office, not only because they are seeing their colleagues face to face for the first time in over 18 months, but an awful lot of their delight is undoubtedly because they now have such an amazing working environment.”
