What are the rewards and benefits?

Pay

Our policy is to pay our employees according to the market rate for the job they are doing and as much above that as is justified by performance. We have an annual pay review, where we look at each employee's pay rate to make sure that it is consistent with the local market rate and reflects the employee's contributions to the wider business goals.

Pension

Our salary sacrifice scheme is where both employees and the company make contributions to a capped limit of 5%.

Paid holiday

Paid holiday in a full year is 25 days plus public and bank holidays.

Extras

We also enjoy free fruit and refreshments, a Cycle to Work scheme and childcare vouchers

Diversity

Gladstone operates without discrimination and embraces diversity. This is reflected in all that we do. We’re working hard to create the kind of working environment and culture that recognises and values people’s differences. We’re firmly committed to equal opportunities and consider applications solely on the basis of merit – regardless of age, gender, race, ethnic origin, religion, disability, marital status, or sexual orientation.
