Rewards

Wherever you work, and whichever programme you choose, we want you to feel rewarded - whether that reward is money, a sense of achievement, friendly and helpful colleagues, or the opportunity to gain new skills and qualifications. For most people it’s a combination of all of these things.

Graduate programme benefits

The starting salaries for our graduate programmes are as follows:

• If you’re joining a Professional Excellence programme, you will start on £25,000 with a £2,000 Joining bonus
• If you’re on a Leadership Development programme, your proven leadership skills will attract a premium starting salary of £27,500 with a £3,000 Joining Bonus.
• Both programmes have a salary review based on performance after nine months.
  
  
  You’ll also receive:
• A generous 33 days holiday (including statutory holidays) per year (minimum)
• All employee bonus scheme - up to two weeks’ pay as a lump sum depending on company and business performance
• A competitive defined contribution pension arrangement
• Three tax-effective share plans for all employees
• Free parking on all sites (excluding London Head Office)
• Career breaks (and we’ll make up your pension contributions when you return from your career break)
• Life cover of three times annual salary and accidental injury insurance whether at work or not
• An independent confidential counselling service is provided for all employees 24 hours a day to help resolve problems both personal and work-related
• We offer the facility to donate to any charities from pre-tax pay. Every £1 you give only costs you 78p as a basic rate tax payer
• Opportunities for flexible working arrangements.

• Best of all, there’s a real possibility that you’ll go back to university with a £750 bursary for your final year, and an offer of a place on the graduate training programme (subject to you getting a 2.1 degree or above) with another £750 payable when you join us.
