Rewards & benefits
A competitive basic salary
We offer competitive salary packages to all employees that are benchmarked externally. Reward is a vital component of our overall employee proposition and your basic salary is just one element that makes up the overall reward package. Your performance, including what you do and how you do it, will help to influence your salary.
A valuable benefits package
We also provide a range of competitive benefits that make up a valuable part of the total reward package too. These include benefits such as the Employee Assistance Programme and Income Protection, which provide you with a safety net should you need it.
We also offer voluntary benefits, giving you the flexibility to tailor your package dependent upon your own situation.
Pension provision and life assurance protection
We operate a stakeholder pension plan with generous employer contributions. This means that you can begin to plan for a financially healthy retirement. And should the worst happen, employees receive a standard level of life assurance cover which can be enhanced further, if you become a member of the company pension plan.
Participation in an appropriate incentive scheme
You will be eligible to participate in an incentive scheme appropriate to your role. Incentive and bonus schemes are in place to recognise and reward good performance and achievement in your role. Schemes are aligned to our over-arching business aims and are there to motivate you to ensure we achieve our targets and objectives.
All incentive schemes are designed to complement and enhance the total reward and remuneration package available to each member of staff.
Have your efforts recognised as part of our defined recognition scheme
We believe that great endeavours should not go unnoticed so have an employee recognition scheme called 'UKAR & You Can'. This is designed to recognise outstanding efforts, which gives you the opportunity to nominate your colleagues for an award or to say thank you for exceptional work or support you've received.
Matched funding for charities
As part of our values, we encourage colleagues to undertake charitable work. To support this we match-fund any amount raised by our employees and match payments to charities through their salaries (up to a maximum of £1,000 per annum).
Subsidised staff restaurants
There are subsidised restaurants at our main sites serving both hot and cold breakfasts and lunches. In addition, there are onsite shops open all day.
Health care cash plans
As an employee you can chose to purchase additional health cover through a healthcare cash plan. This allows you to claim back costs for treatments such as dental care, chiropody, optical checks and many more.
Flexible working options available
We value having a great work-life balance for our colleagues. As such, we have a number of flexible working arrangements that could allow you to do just that.
