Perks of working here
We’re big on reward and recognition at One Manchester, and that’s why we offer so much more than just the salary.
Our benefits
27 days’ holiday (plus UK bank holidays)
It's important you get the time to enjoy the special moments in life.
Enhanced maternity, paternity and adoption pay
The amount you’ll received depends on how long you’ve been with us, but after one years’ continuous service we offer enhanced pay.
Sabbaticals and career breaks
We offer short or long-term periods of unpaid absence up to a maximum of six months, so you can have that well-deserved career break.
Special leave
You can take up to five days’ paid emergency leave throughout the year to cover these emergencies.
Social events
We hold two annual social events where you’ll get the chance to socialise with colleagues away from the office, all expenses paid!
Fantastic rewards
Competitive salaries
We firmly believe that colleagues should be fairly rewarded for the work they do. We’re proud to be a Real Living Wage Employer and are committed to paying all our people a decent wage, including our Apprentices, as a minimum. We also have annual salary reviews too and regularly benchmark our salaries externally to ensure we remain competitive.
A top tier pension
We offer the Social Housing Pension Scheme (SHPS), where colleagues contribute 3% of their salary and we put in 11.4% – meaning you get to keep more of your hard-earned money each month while still saving for your retirement.
Life assurance
While you’re an employee of One Manchester, our scheme will pay a lump sum of the equivalent of three times your salary to beneficiaries should the worst happen.
High-street discounts
We’ve got thousands of exclusive discounts and cashback offers on shopping, travel, days out, holidays and much more through Medicash Extras.
Flexible working
Need a more formal arrangement due to personal circumstances? No problem. Our colleagues can request formal flexible working arrangements, including part-time and compressed working arrangements, which we’ll always try to support where possible.
Healthcare cash plan
Our colleagues have access to Medicash, a healthcare cash plan that means you can claim back the cost of everyday health treatments such as optical care, dental costs, prescriptions, physiotherapy, and more. The basic cover is free for colleagues, but you have the option to increase your level of cover too.
TELUS Health
Aimed at helping colleagues deal with the emotional and practical challenges life can throw at them, our Employee Assistance Programme provides 24/7 confidential support for all things family, health, life, money, and work.
Cycle to Work
We’re all about encouraging healthier lifestyles and reducing environmental pollution, which is why we offer a Cycle to Work scheme that’s processed as a salary sacrifice benefit. This means that as well as getting a new bike and getting fit, there are tax and National Insurance savings too.
Learning and development
Professional fees
Want to accredit your skills and join a professional body? We’ve got you covered. We’ll pay the costs of one professional membership for each permanent colleague.
Studying
You can apply to study for a more formal professional qualification while working with us, from diplomas to master’s degrees, the world is your oyster at One Manchester.
Volunteering
We want you to be able to do your bit and support our local communities, so you’ll have the chance to take two paid day out per year to volunteer.
