Employee benefits and wellbeing
Happy and well-supported staff are the key to our successes. Greenpeace UK is proud to offer sector-leading salaries and pensions, a generous holiday allowance, and other employment benefits such as a cycle to work scheme.
Key benefits
More benefits
Employee assistance programme
Free confidential advice with a qualified counsellor on any issues, plus access to a Healthy Advantage app, with a variety of bespoke wellbeing features.
Flexible working, time off in lieu
Request flexible working from your first day of employment, and take time off in lieu if you’ve worked significantly beyond your contractual hours.
Hybrid working
We ask that staff work from the office 40% of their time, with 20% required as a minimum (reasonable adjustments available for disabilities and long term conditions).
Resources
We have a wellbeing room with a wealth of resources. It also can be used equally for prayer and for non-religious contemplation, meditation, relaxation, and has a space to store medication if required.
Cycling
We have showers, lockers and a bike shed, and run a free monthly cycle maintenance workshop. There’s even a fleet of bookable hire bikes to help you get around town.
Workshops
We run learning and development workshops on a range of topics including building personal resilience, courageous conversations and mental health at work.
Healthy food
We have a subsidised cafe which serves healthy, organic vegetarian and vegan food for staff and visitors at a fraction of the cost of a typical Islington lunch
Yoga
Free weekly yoga class with an expert instructor covering a range of yoga practices.
Breather days
Once a month, we take an organisational ‘breather’ day where the office closes and we have no expectations of output on these days.
