Why Work With Us?

Pay

We offer highly competitive salaries and regularly review them so they reflect employees’ contribution and achievements.

Holiday

We know having time off to relax is important, so at the Russell Group you will start on 28 days annual leave (this includes 4 bank holidays to be taken over the Christmas and New Year Period) which will rise by one day per year after 5 years' service, to a maximum of 33 days after 9 years' service.

Please note that holiday entitlement is pro rata’d if you work less than 5 days per week.

Learning & Development

It is important for our employees to feel motivated and have opportunities to make an impact. We therefore offer a variety of development opportunities, including on the job training and external training.

Pension

We know it's important to plan for the future. We have a fantastic pension scheme that all our colleagues can join. Together with a generous company contribution, employee contributions are invested to help employees save for their future.  The pension scheme operates on an auto enrolment basis. This means, provided employees meet certain requirements, employees will be automatically enrolled into the pension scheme to help them save for retirement.

The Russell’s Life Assurance Scheme provides peace of mind that our employees loved one’s will receive a lump sum of in the event of their death. In addition to this, we offer bereavement support to their immediate family, to help cope with the loss of the loved one.
