Benefits & Rewards
We are proud to be a Living Wage Employer and are one of only a small number of UK charities that hold this accreditation. This means we have a commitment to pay the ‘real’ living wage as set by the Living Wage Foundation. This is reviewed annually.
It is widely acknowledged that living in London is more expensive than other parts of the UK, therefore if you work in one of the London Boroughs, we will pay £3,882 (pro rata for part time workers) in addition to your annual salary.
We understand our workplace offer means different things to different people, that’s why we are happy to talk flexible working. We support employees to work in innovative ways with both formal and informal approaches to flexible working arrangements. We can’t promise we can offer you what you want, but we will always do our best.
Your learning is paramount to TCV as it forms the cornerstone of growth and progress within our organisation. As well as our development days we use shadowing, mentoring networks, online resources, robust inductions, action learning sets, and practical training to develop, upskill and empower employees to adapt, collaborate, and innovate, ensuring TCV remains agile and competitive in a rapidly evolving market.
We want all our employees to have a healthy work life balance and positively promote the requirement for adequate rest breaks. We offer 26 days holiday, (including Christmas Eve) plus all recognised bank/public holidays. On top of this we give an additional day's holiday per full year of service, up to a maximum of 31 days. Part-time employees’ entitlements are calculated on a pro-rata basis, dependant on hours worked.
Holidays for part-time employees and those working compressed hours will be expressed in hours but will be based on the full-time equivalent as above.
We know how important it is to prepare for the future and want to play a part in enabling a financially secure retirement with our flexible tax-efficient pension plan. If you contribute a minimum of 3.5% of your salary, we will contribute the equivalent of 5% of your salary into your pension fund. Our plan also has flexible retiring options and if you leave TCV, you can take your plan with you.
We want our people to be physically and emotionally supported. The Employee Assistance Programme is a free and confidential telephone helpline available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for all employees and their families on any issues they feel they need support, either in their work or personal lives.
You can take advantage of a discounted corporate rate on a Bupa Health Cash plan, allowing you and your family to claim back some healthcare costs, such as dental and optical.
You can purchase a bike and accessories up to the value of £1,000 using the salary sacrifice scheme. Repayments are taken from your gross salary meaning that you pay less Income Tax and NI contributions.
Your development matters to us, that’s why we pay up to a maximum of 5 working days in any holiday year to employees who are working on an approved TCV conservation task or development opportunity.
We know how important family is and understand that there may be times where you will need to be away from work (in addition to annual leave). This is why we offer our employees a variety of leave options including maternity, paternity, adoption, shared paternal, career breaks, bereavement leave and others.
We have our own discretionary sick pay scheme, including full pay for a period subject to certain conditions.
This scheme provides your loved ones with financial security should something happen to you. All employees will be given the assurance of two times their annual salary.
We like to recognise Long Service milestones which are awarded with vouchers from 5 - 50 years (in increments of 5), as well as personal recognition from our CEO. Our Employee of the Quarter awards are voted for by all colleagues.
At TCV we are proud to support a range of active employee networks, such as our Great Place to Work group and our EDI Champions group. Open to all TCV employees, they promote and support what matters to our colleagues.
You can get up to £500 every 3 months (£2,000/year) for each of your children to help with the costs of childcare. If you get Tax-Free Childcare, the government will pay £2 for every £8 you pay your childcare provider.
Equality, Diversity & Inclusion
Everyone deserves to have nature in their lives, that’s why we pledge to create safe, welcoming environments for people who face barriers to accessing green spaces and make our activities relevant to all.
We can only do this by recognising that we need to do more, to champion inclusion and diversity within our employees, volunteers, supporters, and partners. That’s why last year EDI became one of TCV’s strategic goals in our refreshed strategy ‘For People and Green Spaces – ‘For everyone’. This is the starting point for all our commitments and actions and underpins our dedication to having a fully inclusive and diverse organisation that reflect the communities in which we work.
We understand the power of diversity amongst our workforce and the benefits to us in achieving our organisational aim of ‘connecting people with green spaces’, therefore we strongly encourage applications from communities which are under-represented in our charity. This includes people from ethnic minority backgrounds, people with disabilities, people who are LGBT+ or who are from less advantaged socioeconomic groups.
Disability Confident
We are proud to be a Disability Confident Employer. The Disability Confident Scheme aims to help organisations to recruit and retain more people with disabilities and other health conditions.
At TCV we are committed to fostering an inclusive environment where people of all abilities can thrive. Through our Disability Confident Employer commitments, we pledge to actively recruit, support, and retain individuals with disabilities. We strive to provide accessible opportunities, remove barriers, and promote diversity and equality in all aspects of our organisation. By embracing the principles of Disability Confident, we aim to create a workplace that celebrates the unique talents and contributions of every individual.
We have 20 Mental Health First Aiders, provide our employees with access to a number of external organisations and we work with our EDI champions to ensure our employees feel supported.
Through Disability Confident, we’re working towards:
Shifting perceptions about disability while increasing understanding.
Guaranteeing that individuals with disabilities have the chance to realise their full potential at TCV.
Eliminating barriers for individuals with disabilities and those managing long-term health conditions.
Our Interview Guarantee
As a Disability Confident Employer, we offer interviews to all applicants who have a disability, impairment or mental or physical health condition who meet the minimum criteria for the job. We provide reasonable adjustments and are committed to having an inclusive and accessible recruitment process.
If you wish to be considered under this scheme, please tell us in the appropriate part of the application form.
What If I Don't Meet All Of The Requirements?
Studies show that women and Black, Asian and minority ethnic persons are less likely to apply for a job unless they meet every criterion/qualification. So, if you're excited about a role but your experience doesn't align exactly with the job description, we'd love for you to apply anyway. You might be just who we are looking for.
Our People And Culture
People Plan
We know our people are our most important asset, therefore we are committed to supporting our employees to learn and grow with our aspirational yet achievable People Plan.
Our People Plan sets out the strategic direction over the next three years. This includes the interventions that are required to ensure we develop an organisation that is continuously fit for purpose, lives it values and delivers its goal. It seeks to enable and equip our people with necessary knowledge, skills, experience, and attitudes to deliver a thriving network for everyone.
