• Pension: The charity makes a generous contribution of 6% to a group pension plan. Employees will need to contribute a minimum of 2% to meet the current pension regulations.

• Parental leave: We comply fully with all legislation with relation to maternity, paternity, adoption and shared parental leave.
• Sick pay: Charity sickness benefit is available once an employee has worked with us for three months and equates to 2 weeks full pay, 2 weeks half pay in any rolling 52 week period.
