We believe that the success of our organisation begins and ends with our people; the accreditation demonstrates our commitment and long-term approach to ensuring that every member of the K J Smith team has the opportunity to realise their potential.

  • Occupational benefits and incentive schemes

    We offer 25 days annual leave per annum (full time) plus bank holidays. We also provide a critical illness cover option and death in service. We run a number of annual social events as well as recruitment incentive schemes and the opportunity to earn store vouchers for you and your family.

  • Opportunity to support your community

    Our annual charity budgets are managed at office level, giving our teams the ability to support local charities, or organisations that are particularly close to their hearts. We have been involved in some amazing projects, the last year being no exception, including donations to online theatre productions, Christmas wish-lists and laptop donations to local schools.

  • Helping you achieve a work/life balance

    We are committed to supporting staff wellbeing. Aside from access to mental health specialists, qualified Yoga Instructor Laura Jessett guides us through an online yoga class every month – friends and families welcome (and encouraged!). You can learn more about Laura here: www.laurajessett.co.uk.

    We offer mediation sessions once a week to all members of staff and the sessions are ran by Josephine McGrail - you can learn more about Josephine here: www.josephinemcgrail.com.

    We also cover the cost of private personal training sessions for our employees – all staff are eligible to start a 10-session programme whenever they choose, with sessions taking place face to face, via Zoom, or a mixture of the two.

We are always happy to chat confidentially, and will be able to answer any questions you may have. Please get in touch and we will treat your application in the strictest confidence and in accordance with our GDPR policy.

We are committed to equal opportunities in all aspects of our employment and recruitment. Applications are welcome from all suitably qualified or experienced people.
