Our Benefits

We believe that great work comes from happy and well-supported people. That’s why our benefits are carefully chosen to strike the balance between rewarding through compensation and supporting a diverse range of lifestyles. From competitive salaries to health & wellbeing subscriptions, smart working options and meaningful time-off, we ensure that you are not just rewarded for your work but also give the time to enjoy life outside of it.

Your Health

Our benefits provide you the opportunity to grow, protect and enjoy your wealth providing you with financial peace of mind. We offer a generous defined contribution pension scheme, life assurance and income protection policy that covers a range of long-term illness or injury. As well as financial security, we operate to ensure we are always offering competitive salaries and that our people are rewarded for their work.

Your Wealth

Financial wellbeing and security is just as important as your wellbeing. Our benefits provide you the opportunity to grow, protect and enjoy your wealth providing you with financial peace of mind. We offer a market-beating defined contribution pension scheme, generous life assurance and income protection that covers long-term illness or injury.

As well as financial security, we operate to ensure we are always offering competitive salaries and that our people are rewarded for their work. To do this we review salaries each year and offer a bonus dependent on an individual’s own performance and contributions.

Your Lifestyle

Life is more than just about work, it’s about enjoying your time outside of this too. Our benefits are selected to make everyday life smoother, more enjoyable and financially rewarding. Whether it’s looking for an affordable way to get a new car or peace of mind when travelling. We offer options for a salary sacrifice car-lease and cycle-to-work schemes, travel insurance subscription, options to donate to charity through payroll and subscriptions services for will writing and powers of attorney.


How to Join Us

We understand that talent comes from all walks of life, that’s why our recruitment process is built on fairness, transparency and objectivity.

What to Expect

We assess candidates based on skills, experience and knowledge required to succeed in the role. Our approach assesses candidates against key criteria of the role which allows us to manage bias.

Every step is designed to identify the best fit for both role and alignment to our RISE values. This may include a remote video link interview, in-person assessment, preparing and delivering a presentation, competency-based questioning and psychometric profiling.

We are committed to ensuring that everyone is provided with the opportunity to present their best self – removing any barriers and accommodating adjustments in the process where necessary – helping us to build diverse, dynamic, and inclusive teams.

Interview Tips

We understand that interviews can be a nerve-wracking experience, and so we want to share tips with you to enable a constructive and pleasant experience when you interview at Brightwell.

We structure our interviews and assessments to best assess candidates against the requirements of the role they are applying for, as well as our values. Prepare yourself by studying our website and analysing the role profile.

We recommend that you also bring anything with you that will help support your interview. This may be bringing in a copy of your own CV to refer to, a list of your career achievements to talk about, or even a list of prepared examples that you might want to refer to should a relevant question be asked.

When giving your answers to questions, you can give them clearly and in a structured manner by utilising the STAR technique:

  • Situation – explain what the situation/background is
  • Task – explain what action needed to be taken
  • Action – explain further what steps you took and how you completed the task
  • Result – share the results of your work, let us know what you achieved and what you learned

Interviews are a 2-way process and so we appreciate that your interview is also an opportunity to assess whether Brightwell is the right career choice for you too! Be sure to ask any questions you’d like to have answers to.
