Reward & Benefits
Alongside a Living Wage Foundation salary, we offer our people a raft of additional benefits.
Supporting our people extends to all aspects of life, not just in the workplace.
The opportunity to apply for flexible working allows us to help you fulfil your responsibilities outside work. This includes a variety of shift patterns within our sites, ranging from three-to-five day full-time working weeks, and a hybrid working approach in our support functions. And for those planning a family, enhanced maternity and parental leave is available.
All our people benefit from 21 days annual leave plus bank holidays, and because we want you to stay with us, this can rise to 25 days as your length of service increases.
In the meantime, there is the opportunity to buy extra holiday via our Holiday Trading scheme. Spreading the cost over 12 months provides the Vaultex community with an affordable way to treat themselves to a little more relaxation time.
We invest in our people’s health because we want them to feel at their best.
Tale advantage of online health assessments and discounted gym equipment and memberships, including gyms across the country such as Pure Gym, Virgin Active and many more. Our Cycle to Work scheme also offers great rates on cycling equipment, so you can bolster your exercise regime by travelling to and from work at a much lower cost.
Mental health is equally important – and we’re proud to have a culture that champions it. Every manager across our business is equipped to support employees with their mental health, whilst our free, independent employee advice service – CareFirst – provides professional support to our people 24/7, allowing access to qualified experts to discuss anything in complete confidence.
There are also 38 trained Mental Health First Aiders across our estate thanks to a partnership with St John Ambulance.
It’s important to recognise when health takes priority over other aspects of life.
Working for Vaultex means you will be supported through periods of ill health. Our Group Income Protection scheme helps to ease the financial strain that comes with being away from work, whilst our Cash Health Plans help you manage the cost of your everyday healthcare and enables you to claim cashback on dental, optical, and therapy treatments.
If you’re part of our management population, then you’ll also benefit from private medical cover – and, in some cases, your family will too.
We all work with the future in mind, so it’s important we help our people plan for it.
From the first day, all Vaultex employees are automatically enrolled into a competitive pension scheme, which contains an online modeller that allows you to take control and truly understand your future financial situation.
You will also receive Life Assurance and can use our online BenPlus tool to guarantee your beneficiaries.
As a Living Wage Foundation employer, our salary packages are regularly monitored and benchmarked to ensure our people receive the wage that they deserve.
If you demonstrate excellent performance or the ability to go above and beyond, our spot prize and exceptional bonus schemes provide more financial rewards. This ranges from vouchers to spend online or in the high street, to tax-free bonus amounts that are paid through your salary.
Our peer-to-peer reward culture also means that your achievements can be endorsed by any colleague across our business, not just your manager.
