Wellbeing

The commitment, talent, energy, and creativity of our people is what drives our success.

They are at the heart of our business and their health, well-being, and professional fulfilment is fundamental to our future as an organisation.

Supporting the wellbeing of everyone who is part of the ParentPay family is important – not only because it’s the right thing to do and we care about our colleagues, but because good wellbeing contributes to creating a working environment where we can all perform to our best and fulfil our potential. It’s good for us as individuals, it’s good for the organisation as a whole, so it’s also good for our customers.

Living Wage Accredited

In March 2021 we became an accredited employer with the Living Wage Foundation and joined a movement of thousands of organisations, businesses and people, across the UK, who believe that a hard day’s work deserves a fair day’s pay. The real Living Wage is the only UK wage rate that is voluntarily paid by almost 9,000 UK businesses who believe their staff deserve a wage which meets everyday needs – like the weekly shop, or a surprise trip to the dentist.

Private Medical Insurance

Private medical insurance (PMI) gives you quick access to private facilities and treatments. It helps pay for any high, unexpected private medical bills you may need covered. This could be anything from physiotherapy sessions, to major heart surgery. PMI also plays an important role in funding the early diagnosis of critical conditions.

Eyecare vouchers for staff – each voucher entitles the employee to a full eye test and up to £69 towards selected glasses.
