In return we offer a generous benefits package that includes minimum 30 days paid holiday plus 8 days Bank Holidays per year; private medical insurance; private dental insurance; death in service and business travel insurance; company contributions into a Group Personal Pension Scheme; funded role specific training; financial assistance with Continuing Professional Development courses; and an annual Profit and Performance Related Pay scheme.
