Opening the door to your STEM career
Our people make the IPO. We recognise a breadth of skills and experience and value the unique contribution every person brings to the organisation.
We’re welcoming people from all backgrounds and work experiences, who have a passion for and qualification in STEM and can drive excellence in all we do. At the IPO, your knowledge and qualities can make a real impact on growing innovation across the UK.
We understand the need for a good work/life balance and offer both flexitime and output not hours along with homeworking. We offer a wealth of learning and development opportunities to enhance your skills, such as one-to-one coaching and workshops. We also have a dedicated mentoring scheme for Women in STEM.
We know life offers lots of challenges and opportunities that can impact work. At the IPO, we don’t believe it should prevent you from reaching your full potential. Our STEM returners programme can enable you to find your calling in a science or technology role. If you’ve taken a break from STEM or haven’t found a suitable time or opportunity to join, now’s your chance.
The IPO is the UK governing body for granting and overseeing intellectual property rights including trade marks, designs, patents and copyright. Our teams work at the heart of innovation and help enable creativity to flourish.
