Careers
A competitive salary alone, isn’t enough. To ensure we’re doing our best to look after our teams, while attracting and retaining the best talent around, we offer a wide range of benefits to make the lives our employees a little easier.
Scroll below and take a look at what we could offer you, if you applied and were selected for a role with us.
This is at the top of the page because we know how important holiday days are! We offer a generous holiday entitlement of 26 days plus bank holidays which increases after two years’ service. We also offer colleagues the opportunity to buy additional annual leave and if there is holiday allowance left over, you can sell your holidays back at the end of the year.
As a living wage employer we are committed to ensuring our colleagues receive a wage which is enough to live well on. We are also a market payer within the housing sector; therefore we review and benchmark our salaries annually.
We reward high-performing individuals for both the work they do and their behaviours. Living our vision and values is equally important at Plumlife and we work hard to recognise the contribution of our colleagues.
Due to the variety of job roles and career paths available within Plumlife, we are often fortunate to retain talent within the company; we celebrate the careers of our great colleagues.
Our annual colleague incentive scheme allows colleagues to earn an extra £300 by helping the business achieve business targets and meet great standards.
We have introduced a smarter approach to working, enabling colleagues to work where suits them in order to achieve the things they need to at that time. We know for some roles this isn’t all about home working, however we look to provide flexibility wherever possible to increase our work life balance.
This is a health care cash plan paid for by Plumlife. It means you can be reimbursed for money spent on dentist treatment, eye tests, complimentary therapies and much more. Cover can be increased to include family members for an additional monthly premium. WPA also offers advice and guidance on a range of topics from debt advice to legal issues.
We offer season ticket loans, an affordable way to purchase season tickets for public transport at discounted rates and through our intranet, you can apply to buy a bike worth up to £1500, through our cycle to work salary-sacrifice scheme.
Our colleagues enjoy wellbeing campaigns throughout the year, with activities designed around our four pillars of wellbeing, these include career wellbeing, mental wellbeing, physical wellbeing and financial wellbeing.
Our social purpose is at the centre of everything we do. Supported by us, our colleagues can often be found donning their wellies to help clear a park in our communities; demonstrating their baking prowess for a charity coffee morning; or waving our rainbow flags at a local Pride event.
Colleagues who are entitled to flexi-time have the ability to take back any additional hours they have worked as a result of increased demands in their role (such as during peak periods, or to cover colleague absence etc). Based on the extra hours worked, Flexi can provide up to 13 additional days leave across the year.
Our values are important and we aim to demonstrate these every day. Our awards provide an opportunity to recognise our Great people and the amazing work that they do!
The business pays the cost of one professional membership fee for each colleague.
We offer colleagues the option to set their level of Pension contribution, starting from a minimum colleague contribution of 4% and rising by 1% up to a maximum of 10%. The minimum employer contribution is currently 5%, with us then matching the colleague contribution up to a total employer contribution of 10%. We also offer other support too.
Our colleagues have instant access to what we call 'The Marketplace', a range of discounts with high street retailers, big brands and boutique stores which can make a real difference for both day to day shopping or for bigger treats such as holidays. You can also apply for a Smart Tech loan or our Cycle to Work scheme via the Marketplace.
Accessed through the Marketplace you can access an interest free loan of up to £1000 (depending on salary and length of service) to purchase any technological or white goods through Currys & PC world. Big purchases can be difficult, especially at the moment - so we hope that this helps people access what they need.
Colleagues can enter into an internal monthly draw from as little as £1 a month, where they then become eligible to win one of three cash prizes of up to a £250. This is an affordable and fun way to potentially boost your monthly salary.
