Holidays
It’s important to take time off. We give you 23 days a year, increasing by one day per year of service up to 30 days, plus bank holidays.
To refresh and recuperate before the start of a new year, we also give you an extra three days holiday between Christmas and New Year.
For part-timers this is all calculated pro-rata.
Learning
We’re committed to supporting our staff with learning and professional development, so we offer opportunities for coaching, training and mentoring. Everyone, regardless of role, is offered free Mental Health First Aid training.
Pension
If eligible you’ll be auto enrolled into our pension scheme, and our contribution is based on 3% of your salary.
Employee Assistance Programme
Everyone can access our Employee Assistance Programme. It’s confidential and includes 24/7 telephone advice, counselling and a suite of online tools to help you stay happy and healthy.
We’re fighting for a future where no mind is left behind.
