We offer a wide range of flexible benefits which are available to you from your first day of joining the organisation.
Annual leave
We give you a generous holiday entitlement, which in most cases increases the longer you are with us. Our flexible annual leave schemes allow you to sell or buy additional annual leave should you choose.
Pension
We are keen to help our employees provide for their future and retirement however far away it may seem. We have a pension scheme with our partners, Friends Life. We’ll tell you more about it when we confirm your employment.
Maternity, paternity, adoption and shared parental leave
Subject to eligibility, enhanced levels of maternity and paternity pay are provided. We also offer Adoption and Shared Parental Leave.
Health plan
We offer access to a discounted health plan with benefits for all our employees subject to eligibility. We’ll provide more information when you join us, but here are just some of the benefits:
- help to cover every day healthcare expenses such as dental and optical
- personal accident cover
- GP advice line / counselling service, medical information and legal advice
- everyday shopping discounts, money saving offers and discounted gym membership
- special priced cinema tickets
Childcare vouchers
If you have children, you know how expensive childcare can be. You can take advantage of our childcare voucher scheme, where you pay monthly via salary sacrifice and receive tax relief (up to certain limits). You can use the funds for regular childcare or clubs in the school holidays.
Sickness absence
We provide a sickness absence scheme subject to eligibility and length of service.
Disability leave
We also provide disability leave for all our employees with a disability. This leave aims to provide staff with the support they need to deliver in their roles over the long term. Our staff use disability leave in different ways, but it can include paid time off to attend scheduled appointments, or time off when you need time away from work to focus on your well-being.
Cycle to work
You can make savings on the cost of a bike through the Evans Cycles Ride2Work programme where you can hire a bicycle and / or accessories through our salary sacrifice scheme.
Season ticket loans
If you require an annual season ticket for travel to and from your normal place of work, we offer the opportunity to apply for a season ticket loan to cover the cost of your annual ticket.
Employee Assistance Programme
We offer all employees access to a free, confidential 24 hour information, support and counselling service.
LCD Employee Recognition Awards scheme
We encourage everyone to recognise outstanding individual and team contributions and hold a formal recognition ceremony, annually, where we have great fun celebrating our highest achievers and give out prizes.
Long Service Awards
To recognise the contribution and loyalty of our staff who have been with us for a while and we celebrate with a gift to say thank you.
In addition to the benefits above, for some roles (level 4 and above) we also offer:
AXA PPP

Canada Life
