Our reward and benefits are designed to create an environment where our people can flourish. We are committed to building a culture where our people have access to the necessary benefits to help promote a healthy lifestyle and thrive. Besides a competitive salary, you'll receive our core benefits and a range of voluntary benefits to choose from focused on health, family and wellbeing.

We’re revolutionising our reward model with our Employee Benefit Trust (EBT).
 

When choosing to take external investment with Cinven, our partners voted to set aside a substantial amount of equity to reward senior talent below partner grade – the only UK professional services firm of our size to do this.

If you join the firm as a manager or above, as a permanent employee, you will be allocated equity units through our EBT – at no cost to you. As the firm’s enterprise value increases, so does the value of the EBT, and when we go through a secondary transaction the value will be released to you.

Flexible working and policies

We view our flexible and agile working practices and family policies as part of our culture, rather than a "benefit". Many of our people experience this as a major advantage of working at Grant Thornton.

The time you spend outside of work helps shape what you can bring to our firm. We value the commitments you may have outside of work and all of our people have an immediate right to request a flexible working arrangement under our flexible working policy.

 

 

Our policies

How we do things is just as important as what we do. We trust and empower our people and expect them to use their judgment to make intentional decisions that drive our business forwards.

If you’re high performing, responsible and dedicated you’ll be treated as such, and our culture of two-way flexibility allows you to thrive inside and outside of work.  We encourage our people to explore, within their teams, how they can work in an agile way which allows them to be at their best, deliver high-quality work and meet their responsibilities in and outside of work.

Here's a selection of some of our key family and flexibility policies (subject to eligibility):

  • Flexible bank holidays: choose when to take your public holidays throughout the year, enabling you to celebrate those occasions important to you.
  • Birthday leave: take the day off on us to enjoy your birthday celebrations.
  • Maternity leave: up to a year off with enhanced pay (significantly above the statutory minimum), plus reasonable paid time off for antenatal care and return to work coaching.

  • Adoption and surrogacy leave: up to a year off, with enhanced pay (significantly above the statutory minimum), plus reasonable paid time off to attend adoption meetings and return to work coaching.
  • Shared parental leave: parents can share leave and pay with their partner.
  • Neonatal leave: fully paid leave if your baby requires ongoing neonatal care soon after birth.
  • Carers leave: up to five days' paid leave to help you juggle caring commitments.
