2. Your Development
Our training programme starts from your first day, with a structured induction programme.
Personal coaching and mentoring is delivered via monthly one to ones and team meetings, allowing you to
create a personal development plan to excel in your role.
Investing in our team is essential as we aim to promote from within, and our Management
Development Programme equips newly appointed managers with the skills they need.
We also offer support for professional qualifications in your area of work, with members of our team
currently studying for CIMA, CIM and CIPD qualifications.
‘The efficient induction process meant I had met everyone I would be working with in the first two weeks. Studying for the
CIM Professional Certificate in Marketing has given me a real boost. I now approach my role feeling more confident and
knowledgeable, and have been fully supported in this by my line manager’
Matthew Williamson, Product Manager
3. Your Development
Different departments working together is how we’ve built our success, so we recently invested in a series
of cross-departmental activity days, where members of different teams worked together on a series of
exciting and unusual challenges.
Everyone from the Executive Management Team through to IT, Sales, Marketing and Finance took part
and similar activities are planned for the future to build on their success.
4. Salary, bonus and pension scheme
In return for high performance, commitment and effort towards the organisation, Graduate Prospects
rewards its employees with a competitive benefits package that reflects what we feel is important to
employees today. We offer:
- Competitive salary
- Profit-related company bonus
- Performance-related pay (sales personnel only)
We match a 2% employee contribution to your pension with a 5% employer contribution, as well as
giving a 5% monthly cash bonus based on your salary once you enrol on the pension scheme.
5. Healthcare
All our team are enrolled on Level 1 of a company-paid health cash plan scheme, with the
opportunity to upgrade to a higher level or add cover for a partner. The scheme has a range of benefits,
including optical, dental and emergency cover.
Healthcare treatments are also available on site, with monthly visits from a chiropodist and on-site
massages – all covered by the scheme.
If you’re looking to keep fit, you can sign up to one of the on-site circuit classes led by a fully-qualified
instructor! These informal classes are affordable, fun and geared towards your individual level of ability.
6. Additional benefits
However you travel to work, we can help, with subsidised car parking (Manchester office only), Season Ticket
Loans for over-ground train travel, a Cycle to Work scheme and reduced price monthly Stagecoach bus
tickets (Manchester office only) all on offer.
Dependent on the business needs of the organisation, we support flexible working across all of our
departments, and also offer 29 days holiday plus 8 days bank holidays (5 are automatically allocated for
the Christmas closedown). We also offer enhanced maternity and paternity benefits, as well as
childcare vouchers.
‘Using the Cycle to Work Scheme not only saves me money on travel every month, it means I have a shiny new bike and am
getting fit and losing weight in the process.’
Steph Convery, Account Manager (London office)
7. Company culture
While our team is large enough for us to be the market leaders, it’s also close-knit enough to know everyone
by name.
Annual social events include our Christmas party and summer barbeque, while our charity weeks get
everyone involved in raising money through darts tournaments, raffles and The Great Prospects Bake Off!
