Core benefits
Holidays: staff start with 25 days' annual leave entitlement, rising to 27 days after one year's service and 30 days after two years' service and also receive statutory public holidays. This is pro-rata’d for part time staff.
Paid sick leave: giving all staff up to 20 days paid sick leave from day one on a rolling 12-month basis.
Employee assistance programme: all members of staff, their partners and any dependants between the ages of 16 & 24 in full time education, have access to a free and anonymous service providing information, expert advice and specialist counselling to deal with a wide range of issues staff may encounter in their personal or work lives.
Health Service Discounts: all Target Ovarian Cancer staff are eligible to sign up to the NHS Health Service Discounts website as healthcare-related charity staff and receive discounts on shopping, insurance, mobiles, and more!
Volunteering: all staff are encouraged to volunteer at Target Ovarian Cancer events at least twice a year. Time off in lieu is given for these volunteering times when staff volunteer out of working hours.
Pension: 5 per cent employer contribution.
Interest-free season ticket loan: allowing staff to spread the cost of annual public travel to and from the office over a set period of time.
Childcare vouchers: available to those already on the childcare voucher scheme.
Buddy system: all new starters are allocated a buddy to help welcome them into the charity and support them in settling in.
Work Life Balance
Hybrid working: our hybrid working policy means staff may usually work from their home or remote location, and are expected to attend meetings and pay for their own travel to the office in Angel, London when required.
Social Committee: Target Ovarian Cancer’s social committee organises fun social events creating a sense of togetherness and wellbeing among our valued staff.
Flexible working: our standard full-time working week is 35 hours. We make every effort to support flexible working requests where possible (we respect people's different working preferences and the need for a healthy work-life balance).
