Salary Sacrifice Scheme

We are committed to supporting colleagues-in-training with benefits that help reduce everyday costs and support wellbeing throughout training.

Salary sacrifice is an arrangement where eligible colleagues-in-training agree to exchange part of their gross salary for a non-cash benefit. The deduction is taken before tax and National Insurance (NI) contributions are applied, which may reduce the amount of tax and NI you pay.

The amount you save will depend on your individual circumstances, and salary sacrifice arrangements may affect some statutory payments or pension calculations.

We currently offer access to the following schemes:

Home Electronics Scheme
Cycle to Work Scheme
Childcare Support

Childcare Support

The government introduced the Tax-Free Childcare Scheme to support working families with childcare costs.

Unlike the Childcare Voucher Scheme, Tax-Free Childcare does not rely on your employer to set up a scheme and is available to those who are self-employed.

The government contributes 20% of childcare costs, with the maximum help set at £2,000 per year per child (or £4,000 if the child is disabled).
