The modern workforce expects more from their employers. Today, people want an organisation that:

• Has competitive pay .
• Provides attractive staff benefits
• Has strong ethical values.
• Prioritises wellbeing.
• Genuinely cares about the environment.

At Bellway, we know the worth and value of our team. Competitive pay, attractive benefits and a nurturing company culture aren’t just perks – they’re essential elements that define who we are.

Here are FIVE fantastic ways Bellway supports and values our employees, from pensions, investment schemes and great money-saving options to promoting sustainability and charity work that directly benefits communities!

#1. Pension Benefits: Securing Your Future

At Bellway, we prioritise the financial wellbeing of our people. We offer a comprehensive pension scheme to secure the future of anyone who works for us. Our standout matching scheme allows us to match up to 7.5% of employee contributions, employer contributions further enhanced to 10% after 5 years’ service, helping to build a robust retirement fund for all our staff. This exceeds standard auto-enrolment requirements, showcasing our commitment to providing competitive benefits.

Alongside the pension scheme, Bellway employees benefit from automatic entry into the life assurance scheme

#2. Sharesave and BOB (Building Our Benefits)

“'I joined Sharesave because it's a risk free way to save, and I am guaranteed to get at least all of my money back at the end of the term, meaning I can book a holiday or treat the family.”

Cath Goodfellow, Group L&D Advisor.

Our Sharesave scheme offers employees an opportunity to invest in the company’s success. This allows participants to save anything from £5 up to £500 per month to purchase company shares at a discounted rate after three or five years.

Thanks to our employee discount scheme, Building Our Benefits (or BOB), our people can – and do – save on a wide range of purchases from popular retailers like Tesco, TUI, and Sainsbury’s. Last year, our employees saved over £36,000 through this platform, underscoring our commitment to adding value to their everyday lives.

“I live opposite a Sainsburys store so we do all our shopping there and our petrol too – we save 5% on all our purchases using a reloadable card that automatically tops up each week. So I don’t have to remember to add more funds on each time we shop. This saves us at least £7 each week. And from time to time the discount is more than 5% so we put a bit extra on the card in those weeks.

I also use it in Clarks for the kids’ school shoes – usually a 10% saving. I’ve bought household items – bedroom furniture from Ikea (5% saving), a new fridge freezer and a new washing machine (we had a bad year with electricals!!) from Currys/PC world (6 or 7% saving). Recently saved 12.5% at Cotswold buying my husband a new winter coat (for watching the kids play football in the cold weather!) and lots off Christmas gifts at John Lewis (usually 4 or 5%), Christmas PJs at Asda (5% saving) Lego (10% saving and opportunity for cashback too), Nike vouchers for the teens in the family (6% saving), garden centre vouchers (10% off).

I do everything on the app and have my card details saved so that I can purchase vouchers as I need them in a shop without too much delay.”

Jane Hughes, Head of Finance – Group Office.

#3. Supporting Our People Every Step of the Way

Family is at the heart of Bellway's values, and our extended parental leave policies reflect that commitment. We understand that welcoming a new child is a significant life event, and we offer generous maternity and paternity leave to ensure our employees can cherish those precious moments without financial worry.

“Bellway’s support has been invaluable – I cannot fault it. I was offered flexible working and this meant I was able to alter my hours to allow me to be at home earlier to spend time with my children.”

Stevie Lewis, Quantity Surveyor

Our enhanced parental leave policies provide extended, fully paid time off for both mothers and fathers. Additionally, we offer flexible return-to-work options, allowing new parents to transition back into their roles at a pace that suits their family needs.

By supporting our employees through these critical life stages, we provide a family-friendly environment where our team feels valued and cared for.

We offer a comprehensive Employee Assistance Programme (or EAP) for anyone who needs it. Easily accessible through a dedicated app, our platform offers confidential mental health support, expert counselling, and other essential services when they’re needed most. If eligible for Private Medical Insurance, you will also have access to various healthcare products and services.

#4. Charity Matching Programme: Supporting Our Communities

Bellway is deeply committed to giving back to the communities we serve. Our charity matching programme is a key initiative in this effort, where we match donations made by our employees to selected charities, amplifying the impact of their contributions.

We also encourage our employees to participate in charitable activities by offering one day per year for volunteering. Whether it’s helping at a local food bank or supporting community projects, our employees are empowered to make a difference. These initiatives reflect Bellway’s values of community involvement and social responsibility.

“I recently volunteered at the Cancer Research superstore shop in Sunderland thanks to the volunteering policy we have at Bellway. I am so happy to have been able to do this… The work they all do here is amazing and it was great to give a helping hand”

Sophie Curtis – Trainee Assistant Site Manager.

#5. Green Benefits: Promoting Sustainability

Bellway is committed to promoting sustainability through our green benefits, which include our salary sacrifice cycle-to-work and ultra-low-emission (ULEV – less than 75g/km emissions) car scheme.

The ULEV car scheme demonstrates our commitment to reducing our environmental impact. Bellway continues to explore new ways to enhance our green benefits, ensuring that we remain at the forefront of sustainability in the workplace.

We recognise the importance of sustainability, from adopting renewable energy to reducing our carbon footprint. Our commitment to environmentally friendly practices attracts top talent and aligns with our discerning customers' values.
