Benefits and Rewards - How we recognise our employees hard work and talent:

Comprehensive two year training contract

Holiday - We feel work-life balance is important, so we offer every single one of our employees 29 days holiday a year, plus public holidays. Everyone also has the option to buy or sell up to three days each year in our Holiday Flex scheme.

Family Leave - At TJG we understand that laying the foundations for a smooth start to family leave will also make for an easier transition back to the workplace and subject to qualifying criteria, the benefits under the Company Family schemes are more generous than required under current legislation.

Pension Scheme - To help our people plan for their future we offer a competitive pension scheme.

Eye Tests - Every employee receives a voucher which entitles them for a free eye test every year.

Medical Insurance - All employees are eligible to apply for private medical insurance cover which also includes a digital GP service.

Charity - Each Totaljobs Group employee receives x2 additional days off every year to volunteer to charitable causes. We also give our employees the chance to 'give as they earn' meaning they can donate tax-free to a registered charity, and Totaljobs Group will match their contribution up to a value of £10 per month.
