What we offer our people

We pride ourselves in being a great place to work, providing a supportive culture with opportunities to grow and develop your career, achieve a healthy work life balance and to be recognised for the great work you do.

• Excellent pension scheme - we match up to 8% of your contributions to our salary sacrifice scheme.
• Excellent work-life balance - 33 days holiday (inclusive of bank holidays) increasing to 38 days over 5 years, and the opportunity to buy more.
• Modern workplace approach - we trust our people to perform, and therefore offer flexible, hybrid working.
• Group Life Assurance scheme – whilst we hope it’ll never be needed; we provide a Death in Service scheme for all employees under State Pension age to help loved ones should the worst happen.
• Cycle to work scheme – We subscribe to a Cycle to Work scheme that is accessible to all our people.
• Electric vehicle salary sacrifice scheme - as an environmentally conscious employer, St John is really pleased to offer employees an affordable way to lease electric vehicles.

• Health and Wellbeing portal – access to financial, health and wellbeing support and an Employee Assistance Programme.
• Access to discounts – you will have access to Blue Light and NHS Discounts as well as discounts on mobile phones, gym membership, cinema tickets, restaurants, holidays and shopping.
• REFER scheme - we give all St John people the opportunity to refer friends, family and acquaintances for paid roles for a financial reward.
• Volunteering leave – as a volunteer-led organisation, we help you volunteer in a cause close to your heart. You’ll get some time to volunteer in another organisation each year, or more if you choose to volunteer in St John.
• Season ticket loan – we ease the cost of public transport with a season ticket loan over 3, 6, 9 or 12 months.

Some fontline roles may also benefit from:

• Competitive salary - whilst we’re a charity at heart, we pay competitive rates of pay in relation to the ambulance market.
• Unsocial hours uplift – we recognise that working out of normal hours adds complexities and so we pay up to 20% uplift on unsocial hours worked.
• Overtime premiums – we offer overtime opportunities to help fund that special purchase or event and we do so with a 20% uplift on your standard pay rates.
