Careers at freetobook

We're building more than great technology

We’re a family-run travel technology company based in Glasgow, helping independent accommodation businesses take more direct bookings.

For 27 years, we've been building technology that makes a real difference to our customers and creating a place where our people can do their best work, learn, grow and enjoy coming to work.

What it's like to work here

What makes freetobook, freetobook?

We get stuck in together

People share ideas, lend a hand and work across teams. It's normal to ask for help, and just as normal to offer it.

We're always tinkering

We're curious about what's possible: whether that's a new product, a better way of doing something or a completely different idea.

We like each other

There's plenty of chat, laughs and usually someone making coffee. We work seriously, but we don't take ourselves too seriously.

You're trusted to get on with it

We're proudly independent — and so are the businesses we serve. That spirit runs through how we work and what we build.

People come first

We care about the people we work with. Our people are supported, have opportunities to grow and are proud of what they contribute.

Start your career with us

Our internship
programme.

Every summer, we welcome university students heading into their final year to our three-month internship.

This isn't a summer of sitting in the corner and watching. You'll work alongside our team, get stuck into real projects and have the chance to see your work make a difference.

  • Real projects, not just shadowing
  • A chance to take ownership
  • Practical experience with the team
  • Support and guidance along the way

More than just a job

Flexible working

Flexible start times and hybrid working give you a bit more freedom around your working day.

Keep learning

We give you dedicated time for learning and opportunities to attend conferences, training and events that help you develop.

Come as you are

Wear whatever you feel comfortable working in; we're a pretty casual team. We even have our own freetobook hoodies!

Have some fun

From our annual summer BBQ and Christmas party to plenty of other get-togethers throughout the year, there's usually something happening.

Your freetobe fund

Every year, get £600 to spend on something you wouldn't normally: a new hobby, a trip, or something just for you!

Look after yourself

Our office gym has weekly group classes, personal training and other wellness experiences led by Caroline, our Wellbeing Champion.

A nice space to work in

Think free tea, coffee and fruit, quiet spaces, and greenery. We're also just a five-minute walk from Kelvingrove Park with great public transport links nearby.

Freetobewell

Through freetobewell, we support employees with certain acute healthcare costs that would generally be covered by private medical insurance.
