Staff benefits

We reward our staff with all kinds of benefits. And that’s on top of terms and conditions that are among the best our sector can offer.

Pension
You can join our contributory pension scheme - a group money purchase plan - after successfully completing your 6-month probationary period. Staff can choose to make their money work harder while enjoying tax efficient savings on their pension contributions.

Life Assurance
This is free for everyone under 65. The payout is three times your annual contracted salary at the date of death.

Childcare Vouchers
These keep your costs down by saving you tax and NI contributions.

Family Friendly Policies
Our wide range of family-friendly policies includes flexible working arrangements where possible (job sharing and so on) and parental leave.

Salaries and bonuses
We try to pay the most competitive rates for our sector. We also recognise your achievements by giving you something extra.

Salary increases and bonuses
Typically you’ll receive salary increases and bonuses in line with achieving your relevant NVQs and/or other qualifications.

Premiums
You get extra pay for a sleep-in and on-call duties. The same is true for working Bank Holidays, and you get even more for working over Christmas.

Development premiums
You get these when you take on extra responsibilities as you develop in your role.

Gem Awards
You get these for going the extra mile. They’re awards given to staff who make an extra special contribution.

First Assist
We use a confidential employee assistance helpline service, which is free for staff whenever they need it.

Ford Affinity
As a member of staff you can get up to 15% off selected new Ford cars.
