13 weeks full pay for any colleague taking maternity/adoption leave and 1 week full pay for colleagues taking paternity leave.
Take your birthday off

Health cash plan

To support you with your wellbeing, the health cash plan lets you claim back costs for a range of treatments including costs towards private consultants fees, tests, scans and private dental treatment as well as much more.
Enhanced pension scheme

We are pleased to offer colleagues an enhanced employer contribution into their pension scheme, meaning our contributions are higher than the minimum required.
Employee assistance program

All colleagues are given confidential access to speak to a counsellor or specialist adviser to help you deal with any personal or professional problems that could be affecting your home life or work life, health and general wellbeing.
Life assurance

If the worst should happen, the last thing your family needs is to be worrying about money. That’s why in the event of a colleague’s death we will make a payment to your family to support them financially.
