Staff Benefits & Wellbeing

What we offer.

  • 27 days annual leave.

    Colleagues at Innovate who join on company terms and conditions will receive 27 days annual leave (plus bank holidays) from day one.

    Work-life balance and wellbeing is important to our culture, and we believe that more holiday means happier and healthier staff.

  • Buy and sell annual leave.

    Going away somewhere special, but you don’t have enough annual leave? No problem! At Innovate you can buy up to a week’s additional annual leave.

    Conversely, if you haven’t used all your annual leave, you have the option to sell up to a week at your normal pay rate.

  • Flexibility.

    Colleagues are encouraged to work flexibly in a hybrid and agile way. We want our people to thrive in their own work space – as opposed to a work place. Whether that’s in your favourite coffee shop, with others in the office or at home.

  • Vivup benefits.

    We have teamed up with Vivup to offer colleagues a range of benefits including discounts, home electronics and Cycle to Work schemes.

    Vivup also provide our 24/7, 365 days a year Employee Assistance Programme to support colleagues who may be facing some tough times or they need extra support with their mental wellbeing.

  • Lease car scheme.

    We have partnered with Knowles, a leading fleet management company, giving our colleagues access to discounts on new vehicles.

    They can provide colleagues with a brand new car, complete with motor insurance, servicing, tyres, road fund licence, breakdown cover and a host of other cost saving benefits via salary sacrifice or deduction.

  • Counselling services.

    Colleagues have access to confidential counselling services provided by South Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust’s Psychology Team.
