Key benefits

We've come up with a very competitive package of work and life benefits. They're designed to make a real difference to your life.

Everyone deserves time to relax and recharge the batteries, so we provide a generous paid holiday programme. You'll have:

  • 25 days of paid holiday, as well as eight bank holidays
  • The option to carry over up to five days to the next year

Also, depending on eligibility, you can buy and sell up to five days of your holiday to suit you.

A good work/life balance is incredibly important and we'll support you wherever we can. There may be opportunities to work flexi-time or take a short sabbatical of up to three months.

Relax and recharge...

We want you to be in tiptop condition, that's why we give you full, non-contributory private medical insurance provided by leading insurers Aviva.

You can't beat working for yourself, so we make it easy for you to actually own a piece of the company through the Associate Share purchase plan. Our flexible scheme lets you set aside a certain percentage of your pay to buy discounted shares.

  • 100% tuition costs paid to eligible employees for approved business related courses
