FAQs

What's your approach to rewards and benefits?

Because we truly value the efforts of all our people, we do everything we can to ensure that working at first direct is as enjoyable and rewarding an experience as possible. It's not just about the salary and benefits (although ours are excellent). It's about knowing you're part of an organisation that is committed to doing the right thing.

Do you run any bonus schemes?

What are the salary scales?

We have three pay steps which are learning, developing and qualified rates. Progression through these pay steps is dependent on acquiring and demonstrating the relevant skills, knowledge and capabilities. Individual's progress at different rates, so there is no set time period after which an individual should move up to the next pay step.

What sort of holidays can I expect?

We all need holidays to recharge our batteries, so everyone has a generous seven weeks entitlement per year, which includes bank holidays. We calculate holiday entitlement in hours, which means you don't have to take a full day's holiday and can take as little as an hour at a time! We also have a buy or sell holiday scheme so you can have the choice to take more or less holiday - whatever suits you!

Do you offer a benefits package?

We have a very comprehensive flexible benefits package which allows you to create your own benefits package to suit your circumstances. You can select from store vouchers, health club membership, car breakdown cover and loads more!
