Annual Leave

Our annual leave year runs from the 1st of April to the 31st of March.

In addition to public holidays, new colleagues will receive up to 27 days of annual leave, rising to 29 days after 5 years’ service, and 33 days after 10 years.

For employees working part-time or shifts, annual leave and public holiday entitlements are calculated and taken in hours and on a pro-rata basis for part-time employees. The number of Bank Holidays may vary in a leave year depending on when Easter falls.

Flexible Working and Family Benefits

We understand that a career is about more than just the time you spend at work and so we aim to provide a flexible and supportive environment for our staff.

We offer generous maternity, paternity, shared parental, partner, and adoption leave and entitlements. We have a wide range of policies to support our colleagues work-life balance. We support flexible working patterns including options to work flexi-time, part time hours and job share.

Tops Day Nursery is based at Queen Alexandra Hospital and caters for children from 3 months old until they are ready for school.  The nursery offers staff discount and staff can opt into a salary sacrifice scheme for the payment of fees.
