Spotlight on our most popular Rewards & Benefits
You can save money using our on-line shopping portal ‘Perks at Work’ which gives you, and up to ten friends and family, exclusive access to discounts with major brands such as O2, Sky, TUI and Debenhams. You can also save when visiting theme parks and attractions UK wide, including Thorpe Park, Legoland, Alton Towers and more.
Working in the Health & Social Care sector also gives you the opportunity to sign up for a Blue Light Card, the UK’s largest Emergency Service discount scheme.
When you need help our Spectrum Life programme is there to support you. Talking about the issue you are facing can be the first step to helping you make better sense of your concern or query. Spectrum Life can offer confidential support 24/7. They offer information, support and counselling on home or work issues, challenging situations and medical concerns.
We tend to think of Spectrum Life as being something offered only when you need personal support or counselling but Spectrum Life offers much more than that. Their team can help you with legal support, a medical helpline, day to day information services, a digital gym, be calm programmes and fitness and nutrition advice and guidance.
Fed up of the bus every morning, or maybe there isn’t a bus service in your local area. Do you want the freedom that being able to drive will give you?

As part of our ‘Perks at Work’ portal you can access fantastic membership savings for a variety of gyms throughout Scotland.
The process is very simple. Ask the person you are recommending to choose ‘Colleague Referral Scheme’ under the ‘where did you hear about the vacancy?’ section in their application.
To qualify for this incentive, the applicant must be successfully appointed to a contracted post and after completion of six months you will receive £100.
Where appropriate, we will offer you assistance and support by referring you to our Occupational Health Service. Our Occupational Health Service provides recommendations and advice on how to support you in situations such as:
• Long term sickness absence.
• Where you have recurrent short term sickness absences.
• Where there are concerns regarding work performance and/or fitness for duties.
• Return to work following a long period of absence.
• Other problems such as stress, alcohol or drug abuse etc.
In addition to the annual leave entitlement, you are also entitled to take as holidays, with pay, four public holidays in each full calendar year. The dates of these holidays are 25th and 26th December and 1st and 2nd January.
Due to the services we provide we may need you to work on public and local holidays. If you do we will pay you double time and you will also get a day off in lieu.
We value and appreciate long service with Cornerstone. If you have been with us for 10, 20 and 25 years, your anniversary will be celebrated by a personal card, certificate, and personal invite to our AGM to recognise your outstanding contribution to Cornerstone and the people we support.
In addition to this, you will get an additional five days annual leave on the anniversary of your first five years of contracted service.
We all need to save for our future. Saving into a pension scheme is one of the most sensible financial steps you can take. A Scottish Widows Group Personal
Pension scheme is open to all colleagues. All eligible colleagues are auto-enrolled after three months with us. Once eligible you will be contacted about this directly by Scottish Widows.
It’s not something we like to think about but it may be reassuring to know that your loved ones are supported by Cornerstone at a difficult time. Cornerstone has a group life policy for all contracted colleagues between the ages of 18 – 70. We pay a lump sum of the higher of 2 x basic salary, or £20,000, to whoever you wish us to, if you die whilst employed by us (Please note this is not available for relief colleagues).
All SSSC fees falling due on or after 1 April 2023 will be reimbursed by submitting an Expenses form.
