Parental leave policy

We are proud to offer a market-leading parental leave policy which supports our people when they welcome a new addition to their family.

As a primary carer on parental leave you will receive your normal pay for 26 weeks, or you can opt to receive 50% of your normal pay for 52 weeks. Secondary carers receive four weeks’ paid leave.

We know the return to work comes with challenges, so we also offer a flexible return to work, where primary carers can work 80% of their normal hours for full pay, for their first six months back. We have also introduced an extra 5 days of ‘new parent leave’ to ease the transition.

The policy is gender neutral – recognising that modern families come in all forms, giving the flexibility to tailor leave to your individual circumstances.
