ICE Creates reviews

I'll be honest - ICE is unlike anywhere I've worked before, and that's mostly a very good thing. As a human-centred designer, I came here expecting interesting work. What I didn't expect was how much genuine autonomy I'd have from almost day one. There's no hand-holding here. You're trusted to bring your expertise and get on with it, which for someone like me is exactly what I need to do my best work. The projects are genuinely meaningful. We're not designing widgets or chasing vanity metrics, we're working on behaviour change, public health, NHS systems, community engagement. The kind of work that actually touches people's lives. That keeps you motivated on the hard days. The team is full of people who really care. Not in a corporate wellness programme way, in a "staying late because they believe in what they're doing" way. That energy is infectious if you let it in. Leadership is accessible and genuinely values-led. Stuart in particular wears his heart on his sleeve, which you don't always get in a CEO. The B Corp commitment isn't just a badge, you feel it in how decisions get made. For people who are self-starters, who want to be part of something with a bigger purpose, and who thrive when given responsibility early, this place will stretch and grow you in ways a more structured corporate environment simply wouldn't.

Ice fosters a collaborative and creative environment where transformational ideas and initiative are genuinely encouraged, making it a dynamic and engaging place to work. As a Business Support Administrator, I’ve found the team across all our services to be highly supportive, and leadership consistently approachable and open to feedback. The company’s commitment to wellbeing and positive change is deeply embedded in its culture, creating a strong sense of purpose in the work we do. My role is both varied and largely autonomous, which keeps things engaging and rewarding. I have the opportunity to interact with almost every part of the business, giving me a broad understanding of how the company operates. No two days are the same, and I’m regularly presented with new challenges that allow me to problem-solve and grow professionally.
