Work/life balance

Work should be an enjoyable part of your life too. We like to think your colleagues will become your friends. That’s why we encourage staff social gatherings, whether that’s casual drinks after work or big, formal events. Most of our departments also organise away days, giving you the opportunity to get together in a new environment, and learn more about the business and each other.

Flexible working

Your ability to balance your work and home life effectively is really important to us. That’s why every single one of our people has the right to request to work flexibly. The policies and applications procedures are easily accessible online, and there’s even a helpline for any queries you may have. We have a great flexible working programme, so you can be sure we’ll do our best to meet your needs, no matter which option you’re looking for:

• Job sharing
• Part-time working
• Home working
• Variable hours
• Term-time working

Charity starts at work

You and your team mates might want to get together to do something fun and challenging for a great cause, like a sponsored trek or cycle ride. Or you might want to do something as an individual. Either way, you could qualify for a cash award from us to boost your fundraising total. Or maybe you’d prefer to set time aside to volunteer for a community group or charity.

However you’d like to play your part, we’ll encourage you to make a difference for great causes at home or abroad.

Support when you need it most

We recognise that sometimes events outside of work have a big impact on your ability to carry on with your day-to-day routine. That’s why we’ll offer you our full support at life-changing moments, from parental leave to career breaks.

We also provide a free confidential advice service 24/7 that provides access to any help you might need by phone, in writing or through counselling. It covers areas including:

• Childcare
• Relationships
• Legal matters
• Work
• Eldercare
• Stress

You’ll make a valuable contribution to our business, and we’re determined to show you just how much we appreciate that.
