Built around you
Join us and you'll be set up for more than a great career. Because each of us is unique, we've made our rewards and benefits flexible. So you can choose the ones that will make a difference to you.
Life’s never a straight path. From maternity leave to long term sickness support, pension plans to financial support – we want to support you through the good and the challenging times. There’s a real mix of benefits that are funded for you, and others you can opt into, if they’re a good fit for your needs and circumstances.
Your money
Our rewards go beyond your salary. We want to give you secure foundations so you and your family can have financial peace of mind. We reward great work through annual incentive and bonus plans. Share our success through free share awards and share incentive plans with free matching shares. Help you plan and contribute to your future with access to a pension scheme which also includes benefits to support your family. And offer financial support and advice, so we can help you through any bumps in the road.
Your health
We want to help you be at your best – so you can embrace opportunities and look to the future. You'll get to choose from a range of private health plans that will give easy access to care for you and your family.
Your lifestyle
At work we all come together to change the world we live in, but outside we all have different passions. From gym memberships and shopping discounts, to green car and bike schemes, we want to help you live your life to the full - select from a wide range of company or self funded benefits to best fit your lifestyle.
Helping your work/life balance
We're all doing vital work here that impacts the world. But we want to make sure you can balance life at work and life at home. As well as generous annual leave, we offer 52 weeks' maternity leave, with the option of returning to work on reduced hours for the first 13 weeks, as well as a competitive range of family leave benefits like paternity, adoption, parental and dependents leave.
As the world has evolved, so has the way we work. We offer different types of hybrid working arrangements depending on your role and your location. You'll be trusted and empowered to determine a working pattern that works for you, your team, and our customers.
And as a global business you'll benefit from the opportunities that brings. Many of our roles offer the chance to move to different locations in the UK and around the world. So as we evolve, you can too.
