What you'll get: A discretionary annual bonus to reward your impact 3% flexible benefits that you can tailor to suit your lifestyle, whether that's extra cash, more holiday, or added health cover. Hybrid working for the best of both worlds-collaboration and focus. Free onsite parking, saving you time and money. Recharge and refresh opportunities with 28 days of holiday plus public holidays, and the option to buy up to five more-giving you more time for what matters most. Peace of mind with life assurance that supports your loved ones, no matter what.
