Rewards & Benefits

We truly value the incredible work our colleagues do every day for the most vulnerable people in our communities.

As well as having a fantastic culture, we go one step further than offering salary and holidays, we offer a fabulous range of rewards and benefits, so that each and every colleague feels valued. You will have access to lots of extra health and financial incentives that make a real difference to you and your family.

Your salary is just one part of the amazing total reward you receive. Here’s a flavour of our incredible benefits:

Health cash plans and insurance

Claim back costs of up to £1,160 per year for many of your mainstream health costs, plus access private surgery and treatment more quickly and with a proportion of your costs covered.

Life assurance

We offer peace of mind for loved ones by offering a 3 times salary payment in the event one of our valued colleagues was to pass away whilst employed by us.

Wellbeing programmes

From dancing sessions to menopause workshops, we have a host of fabulous wellbeing initiatives to suit everyone focused around 4 key areas; move more, money matters, mental health and maturing well.
