life at pause

Nine to five, but not as you know it

Being a good employer is a job in itself! We employ the best people to drive our professional coffee machine sales, so we treat them in the best ways we can. Seems only fair.

We value our people’s ideas and contributions, look after their wellbeing and give them every opportunity to grow their career with us. We also provide a fun, welcoming environment with a real family feel (without the squabbling over the remote control…!) Most importantly of all, we’re always asking our people for input on what would make their jobs better. And acting on the things they tell us.

If you’re a potential pause person you’ll be positive, enthusiastic and adaptable, and value respect and honesty as much as we do. You’ll thrive on teamwork, love a challenge and be bursting with ideas for our business. Are your ears burning? Then drop us a line here.

Money matters

• We have an annual pay review which rewards individual performance
• We provide a pension scheme which we also contribute to
• We provide free life assurance for all our people up to the age of 70
• We reward non-sales colleagues who introduce us to a new customer. As you’d expect, these schemes are always under review and may be changed from time to time
• Once staff are ready to return to work after the birth of their baby, we help out with childcare vouchers

Health and happiness

• HSA private health insurance is available to cover medical and dental treatment
• All staff driving on company business have driver training when they join, and refresher courses ongoing
• We carry out risk assessments, identify the safest ways of working and train first aiders at each of our centres
• Anyone spending a considerable amount of time using a VDU is entitled to a free eye test. If you need glasses for work at a computer, we’ll put £55 towards the cost
• We offer all our people free, prompt and confidential support via ICAS (Independent Counselling and Advisory Service Limited). This doesn’t just cover work issues – it can be domestic and personal stuff too
• From time to time, we are able to offer free cholesterol and heart checks, provided by Flora
• And we provide breakfast cereals, organic fruit bowls, Fairtrade drinks and healthy snacks for our people
