Benefits of working at RNIB
RNIB prides itself on being a great place to work. We aim to be a sector-leader in terms of people management and development and, of course, we lead the way in creating employment opportunities for blind and partially sighted people. Working for us means working for one of the UK’s biggest charities, supporting almost two million people living with sight loss in the UK.
We also offer a generous defined contribution (DC) pension scheme, known as the RNIB Retirement Benefits Scheme (“the Scheme”).
Most colleagues will be auto enrolled at a 4 percent employee contribution with a five percent employer contribution but you can choose from three contribution levels and receive an employer contribution between 5 percent and 11 percent depending on the level of contributions you make.
Our holiday entitlement starts at 27 days per year plus bank holidays which increases with service. Eligible colleagues will also have the opportunity to buy up to an additional 5 days annual leave.
In addition to the statutory maternity and paternity leave entitlement for colleagues, we also provide a enhanced maternity/paternity/adoption benefit.
RNIB offers a range of development opportunities to grow your career, including a wide range of training and apprenticeships.
We offer a wide range of flexible working hours, including flexi-time and time off in lieu for many posts. Each new member of staff will be given a laptop to make working flexibly easy.
We also offer colleagues generous life insurance cover at six times salary for members of the pension scheme.
We offer all colleagues a range of initiatives to support their wellbeing, including a wellbeing programme of events and an extensive Employee Assistance Programme.
At RNIB, we are proud to support a range of active staff networks. Our networks are run by staff for staff. Open to all RNIB employees, they promote and support our Diversity and Inclusion in our workplace and out culture. The networks are an opportunity for employees who share particular circumstances or characteristics to connect with others around them, share experiences and challenges and challenge our practices to create and promote a more inclusive environment.
Throughout the RNIB, we understand the value of developing our employees’ skills and knowledge. Therefore, we invest a lot of resources every year in order to offer our staff a wide range of in-house training and development opportunities, including the opportunity to apply for interest-free loans for external job-related training. As part of our development and support initiatives, we promote coaching, mentoring, secondments and job shadowing.
