ABOUT US
At Believ, formerly known as Liberty Charge, we believe sustainable transport should be accessible to everyone.

We're a Charge Point Operator (CPO) on a mission to create the UK's most reliable electric vehicle charging network that doesn't cost the earth and leaves no one behind.

We work closely with local authorities and businesses to deliver reliable, high quality charging networks at pace, at scale and at zero cost.

We offer all the advantages of being a scale-up business, but with the added security and long-term backing from well-known parents - Liberty Global (who also own our delivery partner, Virgin Media O2) and Zouk Capital (who manage the Government's Charging Investment Infrastructure Fund).

You'll be joining this exciting journey at the start of our scale-up phase, and work with us to hit the ambitious targets our shareholders have set.

You'll become part of a passionate and supportive team in a fast-paced, dynamic and result-driven environment.
