    Benefits for all

    Private Medical Insurance

    We want you to feel supported when you are well, as well as when you may need a medical intervention.  By providing Private Medical Insurance to everyone who joins us, we hope that if the worst should happen, you can be back to feeling well as soon as possible.  Depending on the level of your role, you may be offered cover for yourself, your partner, and in some roles, your family as well.   For those who want to add additional family members to their cover at their own cost, we have great rates to allow you to do this.

     

    Contributory Pension Scheme

    We provide a Group Self Invested Pension Plan (SIPP) which is offered on a contributory basis, matched up to 6%.  Assuming you meet the age and earnings criteria, you will be Auto-Enrolled into the scheme three months after joining the Company.  You are able to contribute as much as you would like to on a monthly basis from your salary (subject to not dropping below the National Minimum Wage), and you are able to manage your fund and investments via our user friendly, on- line benefits portal, iFlex.

     

    Life Assurance

    To support your loved ones, should the worst happen, we offer a Life Assurance benefit of four times annual salary.  When you join you will be asked to complete a Nomination of Beneficiary form to indicate who you would like to receive this benefit in the event that it is required.

     

    Annual Leave

    We offer a very generous annual leave entitlement of 28 days per year for all employees (pro-rata’d for those who work part time).  In some areas of the business, three of these days must be used over the Christmas/New Year period, but in addition to the statutory eight Bank Holidays, we hope that you can see that we put great value on employees being able to take time away from work to recharge their batteries!

    We also offer the facility via iFlex, to purchase up to five days additional annual leave per year (based on a minimum level of service) or to sell annual leave (up to five days per year).

     

    Profit Related Pay

    We are really proud of the achievements of the Company, and would like employees to share in our success.  Dependent on the division you work within, you may be eligible to receive a payment under the Profit Related Pay Scheme, subject to meeting the scheme criteria.

     

    Share Incentive Scheme

    To allow employees to benefit from the success of the Company, we offer an HMRC approved Share Incentive Scheme, which opens annually each October.  You are able to contribute up the HMRC limit each month (currently £150), and after the full 12 month period, the total of the money accrued is used to purchase shares.  These are then held in individual employee accounts, and can be sold at any time; the longer they are held the more tax efficient they become.

     

    Long Service Awards

    To reward employees for their service with the Company, we offer an exciting long service awards programme.  At five year intervals following your five year anniversary you will receive a number of points to spend on line in our reward catalogue, offering everything from jewellery, items for the home and garden, accessories to help you pursue your hobbies, and experience days out.

     

    Mobile Phones

    For those employees that need to stay in touch when at work, whether office or field based, we offer iPhones to all.  These are regularly updated to ensure you can stay in touch when you need to.

     

    Employee Assistance Programme

    For those time when you may feel you need additional support, we offer a 24 hour, completely confidential helpline, offering assistance with a wide range of personal issues.

    Attending the reception to accept the award, Coloplast HR Director Ruth Hutchinson said she was very proud to work for an organisation that is nationally-recognised as one of the best places for employees to grow and build careers.

    Ms Hutchinson said; "It is the employees that bring our mission and values alive and deliver such a great service to people with intimate healthcare needs. It is also our employees that make Coloplast such a great place to work."

    “At Coloplast, we create innovative and life-changing products and provide services for people with chronic care conditions, restoring their dignity and enabling them to lead as normal lives as possible.

    “The thing which stands out about our staff is that each and every one of them cares for their customers – whether they are the patients they serve or their carers, healthcare professionals, the NHS or any of our trade partners. We continue to see and feel the dedication and commitment from our employees and this inspires and motivates us to do better all the time.”

    Coloplast has approximately 550 employees in the UK and the Republic of Ireland.
