Staff Benefits
Here at Curtins, we offer attractive salaries and an enhanced benefits package that you would expect from a leading consultancy.
Holidays
We understand that you don’t live to work, you work to live – holidays and spending time with loved ones is something we encourage.
Staff receive 25 days holiday per year in addition to all bank and public holidays, plus we offer a Holiday Purchase Scheme allowing permanent employees the option to purchase additional leave. Increased holiday entitlement is available to senior grades of staff.
Flexible Working – Family Friendly Policies
The company has implemented family friendly policies to comply with current legislation.
Many Curtins staff use our Flexi Time scheme to manage their working hours, adjusting their start and finish time to suit commitments outside of work.
Holiday Accommodation
At Curtins we offer you the opportunity to retreat to one of four holiday lodges in the Lake District and Somerset. Each member of staff is entitled to apply for a week’s holiday free of charge each year, subject to availability.
Cycle to Work Scheme
Curtins offers a cycle to work scheme which is a salary sacrifice package run by “Salary Extras”.
Birthdays
Each member of staff gets an additional days’ holiday to take on their birthday!
Corporate Perks
This offers employees the chance to save money by purchasing items from many high street and internet based retailers, through an on-line portal.
Share Ownership
Wider share ownership of Curtins Group was introduced in 2002 with the purpose of giving individual staff members the opportunity to own a stake in the company and benefit directly from their endeavours. Eligibility is assessed upon length of service and status within the company.
Enhanced Maternity Pay
We want to ensure that new mothers at Curtins have the time and space to enjoy welcoming a new member to their family, which is why we offer enhanced maternity pay and a phased transition back into work.
Long Term Illness Income Protection
We have introduced a Group Income Protection Scheme, which provides eligible staff members with an income if they are unable to work long term
due to illness or injury.
Life Assurance
All members of staff over the age of 18 are covered immediately on commencement of employment for life assurance which is non-contributory. This will provide the trustees with 2 x the employee’s basic salary as a lump sum on the death of an employee to pay to the employee’s dependents. If an employee is a member of the pension scheme this will increase to 5 x basic salary.
Pension Scheme
We operate a contributory group personal pension scheme which is managed and administered by independent financial advisors. Eligible staff members will be auto-enrolled into the company scheme when they join us. The company makes a contribution of 7% of the employee’s basic salary and the employee makes a contribution of 3% of their basic salary. Staff members can also make additional voluntary contributions (AVC).
Employee Assistance Programme
Employees can receive help and support from a confidential helpline for personal problems that may impact health, mental and emotional wellbeing.
Social Activities
Curtins Getogether
All staff are invited to this exciting all-expense-paid event, held at a different secret location each year. The weekend involves a day of company-wide socialising and team-building, followed by evening entertainment, 3 course meal and an overnight hotel stay.
