We offer 25 days per annum annual leave plus recognised bank and public holidays and 3 additional mandatory days between Christmas and New Year.

If you work part-time your annual leave will be represented in hours.

We offer 25 days per annum annual leave for full-time staff, plus 3 additional mandatory days between Christmas and New Year.

We contribute up to 10% of basic salary into a personal pension of the employee's choice, subject to the rules of the relevant scheme.

Contributions are matched on a 2 to 1 basis. For example, if you pay 1% of your salary, we will pay 2%.

Childcare vouchers can be used as full or part payment for a range of childcare, including day nursery, nursery school, childminder, crèche, preschool, etc.
