Looking after our Employees
New employees may have an ability to take up some benefits within 3 months of their start date. (Eligibility criteria and conditions apply. Full details are available on request).
Flexible Working
Dependant upon the nature of work in your section, we can offer:
- Flexibility of working hours - come in late or go home early, arrange doctor and dentist appointments at a time to suit you.
- Flexibility of location - occasional work at home.
It all adds up to a healthy work and lifestyle balance.
