We have a wide range of core and voluntary benefits:

• Hybrid working – 2 days per week in the office (must live a reasonable distance to commute)

• Buy and sell annual leave up to 5 days
• Employee Referral scheme with payments up to £2000 per referral
• Aviva Digicare+ Workplace App providing health checks, Digital GP access, mental health consultations, and more

• Group Income Protection supporting long-term income in case of illness or injury
• Health and Wellbeing Programmes including gym discounts, private medical insurance, cycle to work scheme, meditation sessions, and more
