We are passionate about rewarding our people and offering the best opportunities for them, both professionally and personally. Here are some of the benefits you can expect when you work for David Allen.
Just remember, every expert was once a beginner – why not begin or further your career with us?
At David Allen, we are committed to offering our people a competitive salary that reflects their skills, experience and contribution. We regularly review our pay structure to ensure it aligns with industry standards and reflects the hard work of our team, so you can feel confident that your work is valued.
We want you to thrive, which is why we are committed to offering continuous learning and development, opportunities providing access to training, mentoring and support from experienced teams across the business. Whether you are just starting your career or looking to progress further, we will help you build your skills, achieve your goals and reach your full potential.
We believe great work deserves to be celebrated. Our Above and Beyond Award recognises our people’s outstanding contributions, with winners receiving an £100 bonus. It is our way of highlighting the dedication, effort and positive impact our people bring every day.
You will receive annual leave on your birthday, or the following working day if it falls on a weekend, allowing you to take time to celebrate with the ones you love.
At David Allen, we recognise the commitment and hard work of all staff and understand that individuals may, at some point, find it difficult to maintain a balance between their professional and personal commitments. We also understand that this allows a good work life balance, which in turn improves performance and productivity. Our flexitime scheme allows you to vary your start and finish times around core hours, giving you greater control over your schedule. You can also build up extra hours and take them back when you need them, helping you manage life’s commitments.
Your wellbeing is a priority. Through our #TeamDA Wellbeing Hub, you will have access to a wide range of resources, including practical advice, lifestyle tips and guided wellbeing walks around our office locations. We are here to support you both at work and beyond.
All staff members are entitled to a free financial review with our Financial Services team, covering areas such as pensions, investments, mortgages and protection, to explore opportunities for themselves and their families. We also provide clear and accessible payslip communications, ensuring you feel informed and in control of your finances.
Work is more than just the day job at David Allen. With a full calendar of social events throughout the year, there are plenty of opportunities to get involved, have fun and build strong connections with colleagues across the business.
Our benefits extend beyond the workplace. You, your family and your friends can enjoy discounted access to our services, adding even more value to being part of #TeamDA.
All employees who wish to take part in voluntary, community or charitable work are encouraged to do so and are granted one day per year, paid leave in order to get involved. This is a great way to support good causes and offers an opportunity for our colleagues to work together within their local community, on activities that directly benefit our local area.
Our #TeamDA Wellbeing Hub provides resources to support positive mental health, alongside access to confidential advice lines and additional support services whenever you need them. At our office, you will find a dedicated wellbeing room, a calm space to step away and reset during the day. We also have trained Mental Health First Aiders across the business, ready to offer guidance, support and a listening ear. At David Allen, we are proud to create an environment where you feel supported, valued and able to thrive.
When you have to take time off due to illness, the last thing you want to think about is work, therefore we offer a generous sick pay scheme, giving you added peace of mind if you are unwell. After the first couple of days, you will receive your normal pay for up to 20 days each year (outside of probation). We aim to support our people with flexibility and understanding, with additional support considered in longer term cases.
If you regularly use a screen, we have got you covered. We offer free annual eye tests through approved providers or reimbursements if you choose your own. We will also contribute towards the cost of glasses where needed, helping you stay comfortable and focused at work.
Stay refreshed and energised throughout your day with complimentary drinks, including tea, coffee, juice and water, as well as fresh fruit readily available for all members of #TeamDA.
Enjoy the convenience of free on site parking, making your commute easier and your workday stress free.
You and your family have access to a confidential 24/7 advice line, offering expert support on medical, legal and everyday matters. You will also benefit from a personalised wellbeing app with useful tools, resources and trackers to support your overall health and happiness.
To thank you for your loyalty, for each year of service, you will receive an extra day off, building up to an impressive 38 days per year (pro rata for part time roles). We actively encourage you to take your full holiday entitlement, so you can relax, recharge and maintain a healthy work life balance.
Make your money go further with access to our exclusive Rewards and discounts as soon as you join. Enjoy special offers from hundreds of leading brands, covering everything from everyday essentials to bigger purchases, helping you save more all year round.
Eligible members of #TeamDA benefit from private medical insurance, helping you stay healthy and at your best.
We love it when our people help grow #TeamDA. If you introduce new clients or recommend talented professionals to join us, you could earn a financial incentive as a thank you. From client referrals across our accountancy, IT and financial services teams to helping us attract great new colleagues, there are plenty of opportunities to be rewarded. It is our way of recognising your contribution and celebrating the role you play in our continued success.
At David Allen, we support you in planning for your future with our flexible Defined Contribution pension scheme, operated by Standard Life. If you are an eligible jobholder, both you and the firm will contribute 4% of your basic salary, with tax relief added to your contributions. You will have the flexibility to tailor your pension to suit your needs, with access to online tools to help you track and manage your savings. Your pension is fully portable, meaning it remains yours wherever your career takes you, giving you long term peace of mind.
We provide peace of mind with our fully funded Group Life Assurance scheme, available to all permanent employees. In the event of death, the scheme pays out four times your basic salary to your nominated beneficiaries, helping to protect the people who matter most to you. It is easy to set up when you join and you can update your beneficiaries at any time as your circumstances change.
