Benefits of working for us
We’re a Living Wage employer
The real Living Wage is based on the cost of living and is voluntarily paid by more than 4,000 UK employers who believe a fair day’s work deserves a fair day’s pay.
In April 2016 the government introduced a higher minimum wage rate inspired by the Living Wage campaign – even calling it the ‘national living wage’. However, the government’s ‘national living wage’ is not calculated according to what employees and their families need to live. Instead, it is based on a target to reach 60% of median earnings by 2020. Under current forecasts, this means a rise to less than £9 per hour by 2020. The real Living Wage rates are higher because they are independently-calculated based on what people need to get by.
Fleet & Personal Safety
We have fleet management systems for personal safety and best practice.
As lone workers, we appreciate our responsibility to keep you safe at all times so you are well equipped with a fleet management system and personal safety devices. We have our own KeyPlus liveried fleet of vans, fully equipped, serviced and managed to keep you safe all year round.
Continuous Training & Development
We provide continuous training opportunities in both practical skills and theory.
We want to ensure you are confident and alert in your job at all times, so we support you with personal development and continuous training opportunities. From conflict management and fire risk awareness to the latest technologies and personal communication, we are with you all the way.
