Enhanced Maternity, paternity & Adoption pay

Maternity
We pay enhanced maternity pay up to 26 weeks, depending on your length of service. And every maternity returner will receive two generous bonuses to help them when they need it most. Moreover, targets will be disregarded for the first three months you are back in your role.
Adoption
We also want those who choose to adopt, for whatever reason, to benefit from our adoption pay. So, we have extended the terms of our Maternity Policy to cover people who adopt. Our Enhanced Adoption Pay will be available for the parent who is the main carer of the child, and partners of main carers will also benefit from our Enhanced Paternity Pay.
Paternity
It's also important to us that dads feel they can take time with their new-born without worrying about losing money. That’s why we’re also offering Enhanced Paternity Pay.
Family Flex: Be there
- If you have pre-school children, we’ll build your working hours around your family life to enable you to be there for those special moments.
Webinars for new parents
- We are providing webinars for all new parents and parents to be, creating a cohort of people with similar experiences and providing invaluable support and guidance.
