A career with purpose should be rewarding

Do you want to be rewarded for great performance with the option to choose from a range of benefits to suit your needs and lifestyle?

Whether you are looking for tax-efficient ways to save for your future, extended leave to spend time with loved ones, or access to the latest electric vehicles through our green company car scheme – our reward package will have something for you.

Our investment in you

We want to offer you more than a competitive salary; we want to invest in you as an individual. That’s why we are delighted to offer all colleagues a wide range of benefits, a market-leading pension scheme, free financial advice, and funding of your professional qualifications to further your career. We aim to offer a compelling total reward package, to support our colleagues’ life outside of work as well as their financial wellbeing.

We are committed to ensuring that our colleagues feel rewarded for the vital part they play in helping to shape the future of our business.

Investing in your financial wellbeing

Competitive compensation

We offer salaries that are benchmarked regularly against the external market, and reviewed at least annually, to ensure they remain competitive. In addition, we offer colleagues a discretionary performance-based bonus.

Generous pension scheme

We are pleased to provide a workplace pension scheme offering up to 15% employer contribution for all colleagues. This means that colleagues, with our support, can save for their tomorrow, today.

Free financial advice

We want everyone to experience the value of financial advice and believe financial wellbeing can come from having a documented plan for the future. That’s why we offer free financial advice for all colleagues and their families.

Protecting your financial future

We understand the importance of being financially protected. That's why we offer income protection and life assurance as a core benefit for all colleagues regardless of role or level.

Investing in your career

We will fund professional qualifications for your role, as well as subscriptions to professional bodies. You will also have access to our excellent business school to further your personal development.

Saving towards your future

We want to help you save for your future. That’s why we offer the option to pay some, or all, of your bonus into your pension.

We support flexible working

We know that everyone has responsibilities outside of work, and we trust our colleagues to balance these with business priorities.

As well as traditional working patterns, we have colleagues who work informal flexible hours, reduced working hours, and have job-sharing arrangements. Many colleagues work from home, or more commonly work in a hybrid way between the office and home.

We know how important it is to be able to achieve a balance, and that your priorities may change throughout your career with us. We want to support your lifestyle as well as meeting our business needs, so always aim to be flexible.

Supporting new parents

We offer up to 26 weeks fully paid maternity, shared parental and adoption leave. We also offer 6 weeks fully paid paternity leave.

We believe that new joiners should be eligible for parental leave in the same way as our existing colleagues. That is why we have removed the qualifying period for maternity, adoption, shared parental and paternity leave.

When I took on the permanent role at Schroders Personal Wealth I was three months pregnant. I was planning on returning to work straight away after having my first child, but now as a direct impact of the changes the company has made to their policies, I am entitled to maternity leave and I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I can now enjoy my pregnancy and subsequent maternity leave without financial worries, and I am looking forward to returning to such an inclusive, proactive and supportive company when I return to work.

Investing in your life outside of work

Keeping you healthy

We provide company-paid private medical insurance as standard. There is an option to upgrade this to include your family via our Benefits Portal. As part of your cover, you will receive a health screening once every two years.

Perks to suit your lifestyle

We offer a cash sum of 4% in addition to your basic salary. This can be exchanged, as well as with some of your salary, for a variety of tax-efficient benefits. Options include gym memberships, dental and cycling schemes.

Time for you

We offer 30 days holiday plus bank holidays as standard. We also offer holiday trading, meaning that you can buy up to an extra week of leave to spend doing what you love, or sell up to a week of holiday for a boost to your pay packet.

Dreaming of an extended break?

We allow all of our colleagues to purchase one or two weeks of Sabbatical Leave per year. Once you have at least four weeks saved up, you could book in your trip of a lifetime, take up a period of charity work or choose to undertake some professional study.

Offsetting your carbon footprint

Safeguard the future of the planet by sponsoring a world-leading, 100% transparent climate change benefit. For the price of a cup of coffee, trees will be planted on your behalf and you’ll be sponsoring renewable energy projects to reduce your net carbon footprint

Green car scheme

We offer a green car salary sacrifice scheme. This means you can drive away a brand-new insured and fully-maintained green car for a fixed monthly amount taken directly from your salary. Plus all the cars are either ultra-low emission or electric – so you’ll save tax too!
