Benefits at Gemserv
We offer an attractive package of benefits in addition to highly competitive salaries. These include a company bonus scheme, pension and healthcare, season ticket loans, discounted gym membership, cycle to work scheme and more.
Our innovative ‘Beyond Pay’ approach also includes remote working, flexible working patterns, secondments onto new projects and the ability to buy or sell annual leave. The nature of our work means staff sometimes have to work outside of normal office hours or put in additional hours ahead of deadlines, but in return they also enjoy a significant degree of flexibility to manage their time.
As well as financial bonuses, we have a number of other reward and recognition initiatives including employee and manager-led award schemes. There are regular company team building events and social and charitable events to provide opportunities to give something back to the local community. Perhaps the most valuable benefit for many of our staff is the support we offer to build their careers.

Your Growth
Training
Learning and development is viewed as a continuous activity and part of everyone’s day-to-day work. Our strategy is regularly reviewed to identify where there are opportunities to further develop our people. The significant investment we make in learning and development ensures employees can progress their careers with us, whatever their aspirations. Many of our Senior Management Team have been promoted from within and now provide development and career support to others.
Career Development
We are passionate about our employees reaching their potential and career aspirations and our Performance Development System places our employees at its heart. We offer structured career progression based on performance, potential and opportunities, either through promotion or working on new projects. We will work with you to achieve this through regular dialogue and ongoing reviews of your performance, targeted personal development initiatives and career aspirations. All this will enable you to develop the skills, experience and behaviours needed to fulfil your potential.
Performance Awards
To create an environment in which exceptional performance and contribution are recognised and rewarded we operate two schemes.
- Employee Rewards Scheme – Recognising outstanding performance each quarter. Employees are invited to nominate colleagues for exceptional performance and winners are rewarded with a £1,000 bonus.
- Line Manager’s ‘Thank You’ Scheme – Enabling Line Manager’s to recognise and reward exceptional performance by a team member.
- Company Bonus Scheme – The Company’s bonus scheme focuses on rewarding performance based on the contribution all staff members can make towards the achievement of the Company’s Strategic Objectives and their personal targets. All staff members eligible for the scheme will have a bonus percentage eligibility which varies by grade and outlines the amount of bonus that could be earned (as a percentage of base salary) subject to company profit performance, company strategic measures and personal performance
