WHAT DO YOU GET WHEN YOU WORK FOR US?

Moving jobs is a big decision that is based on a number of factors. Here are some of the benefits you can get from working with us.

BALANCE

Health Cash Plan

Optional 4 or 5 day working week

Standard holiday allowance of 28 days which includes bank holidays PLUS

  • One day Christmas shopping day to take in November or December
  • Two additional days at Christmas
  • Your birthday day
  • An extra 'spoil yourself' day - to be taken at anytime during the year
  • One extra day accrued for every two years of employment

    • Flexible hours

    Most roles can be flexible, and we don't ask you to take holiday for small appointments or a few hours here and there - just make up some of the time when you can.

    TEAM

    We hold weekly team meetings so we can all get together

    We hold quarterly team ‘alignment’ sessions, sometimes followed by a team activity or meal out

    DOING THE RIGHT THING


    As a team we will choose one charity per year to raise money for, aiming to complete one charity event together as a team.

    COMPETITIVE SALARY PLUS ENHANCED PENSION AND FINANCIAL ADVICE

    We offer an enhanced pension contribution which increases per year of employment. Statutory pension contributions are 3%, we offer 5% as standard and from starting. Thereafter we offer an additional 1% each year of employment up to a total of 8% employer contributions. You can manage this through NEST or we have an arrangement with St James Place as follows:

  • Have a personal Pension (instead of NEST)
  • You can opt to increase your own contributions
  • Option to 'Salary Sacrifice' which means:
    • You save National Insurance
    • We can put the Employer's NI into the pension to top up
  • You can consolidate any other pensions into this one
  • You can choose how your Pension is managed - level of risk
  • Your investments are actively managed

    • All of this can be chosen after an initial free meeting with a Financial Adviser from St James' Place who can talk you through the Pensions options, and if you choose to proceed, you can also benefit from free financial advice from a Financial Adviser at an individual and personal level, and with your families.
