Rewards & Benefits

Bonus Schemes

As part of our benefits package, we offer our colleagues the opportunity to add to their salary and benefits through bonus and incentive schemes. These schemes are designed to motivate, whilst helping the business achieve excellent results. We have a profit share scheme, which is open to all employees with at least 6 months service, and are not participants in the annual bonus scheme.

The Pension Scheme

The company operates a pension scheme for all employees. The amount of contribution both for company and employee is dependant on the role and will be discussed as the recruitment process progresses.

Employee Discount

All employees receive an employee discount card, which they can use to make purchases at any UK Mothercare store and receive 20% discount.

Staff Shop

Employees can also purchase Mothercare samples very cheaply from the staff shop at the Watford office. The shop is open to all employees.

Childcare Voucher Scheme

All employees are entitled to opt to take some of their salary in childcare vouchers and because they are exempt from National Insurance contributions, this means that employees are able to make a saving on their childcare costs. A wide range of childcare providers such as childminders, nurseries, nannies and playgroups accepts the vouchers. Employees can also use them to pay family members who look after their children.

Sharesave Scheme

The Sharesave Scheme encourages employee share ownership of Mothercare, by offering the chance to buy shares in the Company. Employees make a monthly saving directly from their salary, which goes into their own Sharesave account. After participating for three years they get their savings plus a tax-free bonus that can be used to buy Mothercare shares at a discounted rate.

Recommend a Friend

The 'Recommend a Friend Scheme' aims to encourage all employees to introduce 'friends' to Mothercare as potential employees. If the 'friend' is offered a position and satisfactorily completes three months service there may be a financial reward.

Work Life Balance

Mothercare is committed to providing a healthy and enjoyable working environment that supports its employees and enables them to successfully balance both their work and personal lives. We have a range of policies that support this which includes job share, flexible working and career breaks.
