Benefits of working for us
In addition to being part of a nationwide charity that's making a real difference to the lives of patients, their families, friends and carers too, you will enjoy:
Pensions
There's a stakeholder pension scheme available to new employees (or the opportunity to continue contributions to NHS or USS pension schemes).
There is the option for employees to set their contribution level at 2%, with a consequent halving of the employer contribution.
Additional employee contributions are permitted and more details available on request.
A summary of employee and employer contributions is outlined below:
| Age | Employee contribution | Employer contribution | Total contribution |
| Under 30 | 4 % | 5 % | 9 % |
| 30-34 | 4 % | 7.5 % | 11.5% |
| 35-44 | 4 % | 10 % | 14 % |
| Over 45 | 4 % | 15 % | 19 % |
