Benefits

    In line with a salary framework, to ensure equal pay for equal work and that we recognise and reward when your responsibilities increase.

    25 days’ holiday a year (plus UK public holidays), and we encourage you to use them all up! It's a marathon, not a sprint.

    Well-paid maternity, paternity and adoption leave, which you're eligible for if you join more than 13 weeks before your expected date of childbirth or adoption.
