Other great reasons to work with us

Bronze Compassionate Employer

We are recognised by Hospice UK as a Bronze Compassionate Employer.

Armed Forces Covenant

We’ve signed the Armed Forces Covenant to show our commitment to employing ex-service people.

Queen's Award for Voluntary Service

We are committed to looking after our amazing volunteers.

We're a Living Wage employer

Paying the Living Wage means that our employees benefit from a better salary, one that allows for their day-to-day living costs as it not only covers the weekly shop but that unexpected visit to the dentist.

The real Living Wage is also higher than the government’s suggested “national living wage” as that is based on what businesses can afford, not what employees actually need to live.
