• Up to 29 days annual leave with generous additional closure days.
• Free on site car parking.

• Simply Health care scheme.
• On site Mental Health First Aiders.
• Employee Assistance Programme.
• Reward and recognition scheme.
• State of the art campuses with the latest industry facilities, including our Graduate Salon of Hair and Beauty and on site Little Professors’ Nursery.
• Access to ‘The Hub’ offering a Gym, Spa & Sports Clinic and The Littleton Restaurant.
