Employee benefits

People are the most important thing Trussell has – without them, we couldn’t achieve any of our goals.

Our people are passionate about our cause and the difference it makes to the lives of others.

The benefits package we offer our employees to support them in delivering their crucial work includes the following:

• Pensions: matched contributions up to 8%.
• Health scheme: allows employees to claim money off healthcare bills.
• Enhanced sick pay: four weeks of contractual hours on full pay and four weeks of contractual hours on half pay after completion of probationary period (remainder at statutory rate).
