Employee Benefits
Your Bright Benefits
We believe in supporting our people to make a difference, both at work and in your everyday life.
That’s why we have built up a Benefits Package designed to support your wellbeing, recognise your hard work, and help you grow.
Simply Health Cashback
With Simply Health, you have access to discounts and cashback on a range of health-related spending.
Save money at the dentist, on prescriptions, eye care, physio, and wellbeing.
Meals provided at work
When you join Bright Futures, we provide the food for your meals whilst at work. Whether you work across our Homes, Schools or in our Business Support teams.
Life Assurance
Our Life Assurance Policy ensures that your loved ones receive financial support in the unfortunate event of your death. Your nominated family member will receive 2x your salary.
Enhanced Holiday Entitlement
After one year’s complete service, your holiday entitlement will increase by one day each year, up to a maximum of 5 additional days.*
This is worked out based on your hours and added automatically each year to your holiday entitlement.
*Excluding our Education colleagues who are on a different holiday entitlement programme.
Referral Rewards
We use Care Friends as a referral rewards scheme where you can earn points and get up to £2,000 for referring friends and family members to join our team.
Earn rewards for referring friends and family, making it even more rewarding to work alongside people you know.
