Employee Benefits
Our employee benefits offer you miles more than just your basic salary. Our generous suite of benefits is designed to meet your needs both in and outside of work:
Giving you precious time together
Because some things are worth more than money. Including enhanced maternity leave and pay, paternity/partner leave, adoption and surrogacy leave, shared parental leave and unpaid parental leave as part of our wider family-friendly policies, plus support if you're a carer.
Looking out for you
We take health and wellbeing – including mental health – seriously.

Plus access to up to three days volunteering, a wellbeing app and availability of a care concierge service to help you and your loved ones find care support.
Money Matters
Helping to make your money go further and advice on how to take care of it. From a high-quality pension plan with generous contributions to help you save for retirement, to life assurance of four times annual salary, to a financial education package and access to a discount platform. We also offer contributions towards the cost of holiday play schemes for school-age children.
Helping you get a better balance
It's not all work and no play. Benefits include generous annual leave starting at 26 days (plus Bank Holidays) rising by one day each year up to 31 days (plus Bank Holidays) plus the ability to trade holiday. Also flexible working patterns, and depending on your job role, access to hybrid working.
Recognising your contribution
We offer more than just a pat on the back. Our High5 recognition scheme allows you to recognise your colleagues and be recognised. Your High5 may also be upgraded with High5 vouchers and the opportunity to share in success through the annual performance-related pay scheme. We also recognise long service after 10 years.
Helping you to go green
Better for you, better for the planet. From our cycle-to-work scheme that helps you to get a bike and accessories, to our green-car scheme that helps you to save when leasing a fully electric or hybrid car, and season ticket loans to spread the cost of train travel.
