To help you save and prepare for your retirement, we offer a contributory pension scheme, known as a group personal pension plan. This is open to you as soon as you start, and if you need further advice we have an independent pension advisor on hand to help.
Benefits
We want you to be happy at work so that you can give the best possible service to our clients. We have a wide range of benefits, including financial, emotional and physical support.
Financial wellbeing
As well as a competitive starting salary we also offer a range of other financial benefits including:
The season ticket loan scheme gives you an interest free loan facility to buy a season ticket to use on public transport to and from work. This usually means you can make a significant saving on regular ticket prices.
If you choose to do your bit for the environment and your health by cycling to work, we can give you an interest free loan to cover the cost of your bike and essential accessories like a helmet.
In the event of your death, this benefit will pay three times your basic salary to the people you nominate to receive the money. This doesn’t just provide peace of mind, but can cancel out the need for separate life insurance.
Once you join us you’ll have access to free financial planning, debt management, and referrals to mortgage and insurance brokers.
Physical wellbeing
We think good health is really important, and we have a range of benefits to help you maintain a healthy lifestyle:
You’ll get 24 days’ paid holiday plus bank holidays per year, with an extra day for every year that you work here (up to 29 days in total).
We give you the opportunity to buy up to an additional 5 days of holiday in addition to your basic allowance, up to a maximum of 32 days per year.
Our Westfield Health benefit is a really valuable scheme lets you claim money back on a range of everyday healthcare treatments including dental and opticians’ costs. This covers you and any dependent children living with you..
