Benefits

We don’t just offer flexibility in being able to work from home. Our Hybrid Working Policy allows opportunities for you to plan your working day around any other commitments.

Whether that’s the school run, your favourite yoga class, gardening or visiting elderly relatives, you can agree with your manager your schedule of work.
If you want to benefit from longer weekends or whole days off to accommodate your work life balance - compressed hours, a 9-day fortnight, annualised hours, part-time will all be considered.
As well as our generous holiday entitlement of 30 days, we provide you with additional leave that means we close the office between Christmas and New Year so you can enjoy a festive break. You can also purchase additional annual leave should you want to enjoy even more time away from work.

Our wellbeing offer is carefully designed to provide you with confidential & independent information on a range of matters with access to professional counsellors, online or face to face. We offer you an annual flu vaccine and the opportunity to participate in our dedicated wellbeing weeks that provide holistic therapies, cooking classes, quizzes and outdoor activities such as climbing, paddle boarding and segway.
You will have immediate access to the benefits platform that gives you discounts on leisure activities, holidays, eating out, fuel, supermarket shopping and retail shopping.
