Employee benefits

All our employees make a valued contribution to our business and to show how much we appreciate this, we've put together a comprehensive benefits package. On top of a competitive salary, you'll enjoy benefits that will definitely enhance your finances and lifestyle.  Our benefits package is under constant review but the main things you'll be able to enjoy include:

Staff Discount

From day one you will enjoy a generous 25% Staff Discount on our products not only for yourself but also for your immediate family.

Holidays

At Sayers/Hampsons you will receive an excellent 25 days from the very start which can increase to 30 days with service.  Our holiday year runs from 1st April until 31st March with your entitlement being accrued from your first day of service. 

Childcare Vouchers

We have joined up with the leading Childcare voucher provider Leapfrog which is  available to all employees providing they meet the qualifying criteria.

The childcare vouchers operate as a salary sacrifice, whereby employees can choose to sacrifice some of their salary in return for childcare vouchers. This is an immense financial saving as the childcare vouchers are taken from an employee's salary prior to tax and national insurance therefore reducing the amount of tax and national insurance deducted from an employee's salary.

Long Service Awards

At Sayers/Hampsons we value Long Service and the vast experience and loyalty long serving colleagues bring to the business.  Colleagues can expect to choose from a variety of gifts.

Stakeholder Pension Scheme

It might seem a long way off right now, but when the time comes you'll be glad you have planned for your retirement. We have a stakeholder pension available to all our employees.

Training & Development

At Sayers/Hampsons, we don't just look at the person you are now, we see who you can be in a year's time, two year's time or even longer! Which is why everyone gets to enjoy training and development, no matter how long they've been with us or how many hours they work.

We have a learning resource centre in both our bakeries where we offer a number of courses which our employees can take advantage of. 

It's all about making sure we keep growing as a business by continually growing our talent, and that's why we take your training and development seriously. We hope you do too.

No matter which area of the business you join, you'll receive an induction that will help you settle into your team, give you a feel for what your role will involve and leave you feeling passionate, inspired and excited about your career with us.

Retail Shops

The majority of the training we offer our store teams is on-the-job. It helps them learn in 'real life' situations, where they have the benefit of our support should they need it. Our Management staff will also receive specific training on stock management, driving sales and motivating their teams, and we aim to address any development needs they may have.  We always encourage employees to develop and learn new skills and have teamed up with local training providers to offer NVQ’s to employees in retail.
