Their wellbeing programme includes practical support such as flexible working, private medical insurance, the Cycle to Work scheme, first aid training, team breakfast meetings and access to free physiotherapy sessions.
Claire Griffiths, Associate Director and Practice Manager shared:
“People are so much more than their job. We know how important it is for our team to look after their health and wellbeing as well as their workload, and we’re committed to supporting them in doing both.”
