MHA offers a favourable pension scheme to help you save for and make the most of your retirement. For every contribution that you make, MHA will help to top-up your pension pot in-line with the National Workplace Pension Scheme.

We aim to offer you flexibility in choosing the benefits you like, wherever possible. To support this, we offer members of staff the opportunity to have more holidays or be paid for the time instead – whichever you prefer.

Staff members can 'buy' an additional week’s holiday each year or ‘sell’ up to a week’s holiday (dependent on entitlement and the Working Time Regulations*). Other staff rewards available to you are:

• Recommend a Friend payments
• Free fruit monthly
• Free corporate clothing

At MHA, you’re at the very heart of work for older people. We want you to develop your performance, both to provide the best care and support and to be fulfilled in your work. We offer nationally recognised training courses and Leadership Academies for staff members. To learn more, visit our training and development webpage >

This fantastic benefit gives you hundreds of great money saving offers at high street retailers for products including food, fuel, holidays and electrical goods from your first day of employment with MHA. 

MHA has a number of ‘Family Friendly Policies’ to help staff members achieve a healthy work/life balance and keep their personal and domestic responsibilities.

If you're struggling with one of life's pressures such as family and personal issues, finances, your health, or you require legal advice, MHA offers a free employee assistance programme which all staff can take advantage of 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The service is confidential and independent of MHA.

All MHA employees are entitled to telephone support and face-to-face counselling at a local venue, free of charge.

We want MHA to be an ‘employer of choice’ for people by providing a positive and supportive working environment. To this end, we reward long-serving staff members’ commitment and loyalty.

After five years, and every five years after that, each MHA staff member will receive a certificate and badge. Retail and holiday vouchers can be chosen to these values:

10 years - £100
15 years - £150
20 years - £200

After 25 years’ service, an individual will be invited to a party organised in their honour and be able to select a gift to the value of £300.

MHA’s Hardship and Welfare Fund supports and assists staff members for crucial expenditures which they could not afford otherwise, in the event of one-off or crisis occurrences.

Chaplaincy has always been one of the services that make MHA special and different from most other care providers for older people. Over the past few years the role of the Chaplain has been developed and expanded in many respects, and all our residential care settings benefit from the services of a Chaplain.

The Chaplaincy service is widely recognised and respected, both within MHA and beyond and is available to all staff members who may benefit from pastoral care and support to help meet spiritual needs.

MHA offers a range of sickness payment schemes. Employees who do not receive occupational sick pay will receive statutory sick pay.

Additionally, staff in operational roles can receive a critical illness payment if diagnosed with certain severe illnesses or medical conditions. Full details will be given when an offer of employment is made.
