Our Benefits
Interested in the benefits of becoming a Wader? We believe people do their best work when they're supported, developed and recognised. From a comprehensive benefits platform and regular social events, to ongoing learning and development opportunities, we invest in creating an environment where our people can grow, thrive and build rewarding careers.
What We Offer
Private Health and Life Insurance
Your health and wellbeing matter to us. That's why we provide private medical insurance through Vitality as part of our discretionary benefits package. We also offer life insurance through Aviva from your first day with the business, giving you additional protection and reassurance should the unexpected happen.
Pension Scheme
Planning for the future is important, which is why we offer an enhanced pension scheme through Standard Life. Hanson Wade Group will contribute up to 6%, based on your own contributions, helping you build long-term financial security.
Extensive Learning Opportunities
Your development matters to us. Through the Wader Academy, you'll have access to a range of learning and development opportunities designed to support you at every stage of your career. We also offer sponsorship for role-relevant professional qualifications and career coaching to help you achieve your professional goals.
Family Leave & Support
Supporting our Waders through life's important moments is a priority for us. We offer enhanced maternity and paternity leave, alongside a range of family-friendly policies designed to support parents and growing families. Our approach reflects our commitment to doing the right thing and supporting our people through every stage of life.
Annual Leave
Time to recharge, celebrate and give back matters. In addition to your annual leave entitlement, you'll receive an additional day of holiday for each completed year of service, up to a maximum entitlement of 30 days. We also offer a celebration day and volunteer day every year, giving you dedicated time to celebrate important moments and support causes that matter to you.
Hybrid Working
Our hybrid working model combines flexibility with collaboration. Most employees spend 2-3 days per week in our London office, with the remainder of their time working remotely.
Recognition & Celebration
Recognising and celebrating success is an important part of our culture. Each month, we come together to recognise Waders who have made a positive impact, and throughout the year we celebrate our achievements through company-wide events, including our Summer Party and Winter Awards.
Sabbaticals & Extended Leave
Taking meaningful time away from work can be just as important as the work itself. After two years of service, you'll have the opportunity to take up to four consecutive weeks of annual leave. After five years of service, you may also apply for a sabbatical of up to three months, giving you the flexibility to travel, pursue personal interests or simply take time to recharge.
Wellbeing Initiatives
Your wellbeing matters to us. We offer a range of initiatives designed to support your personal and professional wellbeing, including a personal learning budget, an employee assistance programme, and a network of wellbeing champions.
The Wader Hub
Helping your money go further is just one of the many benefits of being a Wader. Through our Wader Hub benefits platform, you'll have access to a wide range of discounts across retail, gym memberships, hospitality and wellness services.
