- Share in our success – Join our colleague share scheme for free to benefit from the future growth of the business
- Free RAC Ultimate breakdown cover – From your very first day
- Car salary sacrifice scheme – Includes electric vehicle options (after 12 months) to help you save on tax
- Generous holidays – 23 days plus bank holidays (rising to 25 with service)
- Pension & life cover – Up to 6.5% matched pension contributions and life cover up to 4x your salary (10x with flex benefits)
- Wellbeing support – 24/7 confidential support helpline for you and your family
- Exclusive discounts – Save on tools, tech, holidays, and more through our Orange Savings portal
