Staff Benefits
Work-Life Balance
We believe a healthy work-life balance makes all the difference. That’s why we finish at 4:30 pm every day, giving you more time to focus on yourself and your personal commitments after work.
Recognition & Rewards
We appreciate the hard work you put in. That’s why we celebrate achievements with recognition and rewards, giving you a little something extra when you go above and beyond!
Refer a Friend Scheme
Our Refer a Friend scheme offers a reward of £1,500 for successful referrals. If you refer a friend who is hired and completes their probationary period, you will receive this bonus as a token of our appreciation.
Team Socials & Events
We believe in creating a positive and engaging workplace, which is why we regularly organise team activities, providing opportunities to connect with colleagues and celebrate successes.
Holidays
Work-life balance is important to us. That’s why we offer 25 days of annual leave, plus 8 bank holidays, giving you a total of 33 days to spend time doing what matters most to you! We also offer a 3-day Christmas closure for extra time off over the festive season.
Pension Scheme
We offer an enhanced workplace pension scheme to help you save and plan ahead. Your contributions, along with employer contributions, ensure you’re building financial security for the years to come.

Staff Testimonials

I joined Skills for Security in 2022 after 17 years as an engineer, starting as an apprentice. Transitioning into this role wasn’t easy at first, but it’s been the right decision. I’ve been supported by Skills for Security along the way and completed qualifications including my Level 3 AET & TAQA. I take great pride in my role and enjoy seeing apprentices improve throughout their journey.

Transitioning into the Sales team has shown me the dynamic nature of the Fire and Security industry and the importance of raising awareness about career opportunities. I’m excited to continue playing a role in connecting people to these opportunities and shaping the future of the industry.

I have enjoyed working alongside some great people at Skills for Security and within the Fire and Security industry. I am currently undertaking a Level 4 Sales Executive Apprenticeship to further my career and gain the best knowledge to apply to my role. As an apprentice myself, I find it rewarding to encourage the next generation of engineers and industry installers to pursue the apprenticeship route, helping to reduce the skills gap.

I have been with Skills since April 2024 and moved from the Business Administration team to the Learner Engagement Officer role in January 2025. I enjoy my role as it allows me to support learners throughout their apprenticeship, whilst also developing strong working relationships with both our learners and employers. I have learned so much about the world of apprenticeships over the last 11 months and am excited for my future with Skills.
