Our values and behaviours

KSS AHSN has developed a clear vision for the direction of the company. A set of values and behaviours have also been developed and agreed to underpin this vision. Our values and behaviours framework can be found below. Applicants and employees will be expected to demonstrate an understanding of and commitment to these values and behaviours, which will be assessed through the recruitment, selection and appraisal processes.

KSS AHSN employee benefits
-
Competitive salary
With full-time hours of work at 37.5 hrs per week (excluding lunch).
-
Generous holiday allowance
Our staff receive 33 days annual leave per year, pro rata, rising to 34 days after two-years service and 35 days after five-years service. In addition to that, you'll get to take the regular UK Bank Holidays.
If you happen to be a part-time worker you will receive an additional annual leave allowance for any Bank Holidays, which may fall on your regular non-working day too.
-
Hybrid and flexible working
KSS AHSN staff work on a hybrid basis. Our primary place of work is in Crawley/Gatwick and we have further satellite office space available in Guildford and Brighton.
Maintaining a good work/life balance is an important value here at KSS AHSN - we offer flexible working and flexible hours for our staff.
-
Health and Well-being
We are committed to the well-being of our staff - we listen to their views and seek feedback on how we are doing via an annual staff satisfaction survey. We offer staff and their immediate family members with access to our fantastic Employee Assistance Programme (EAP). We also run regular workshops, aimed at helping our staff maintain a good sense of well-being.
-
Team Days
We run three face-to-face Team Days per year - usually in or around the Gatwick area. These are a mixture of knowledge-sharing, corporate updates and some fun too, of course.
-
Salary sacrifice scheme - private pension schemes
The company currently offers a tax- efficient salary sacrifice scheme with any registered pension scheme, as specified by the employee.
-
Workplace pension scheme
A workplace pension scheme is also offered to our staff and if you meet the criteria, you will be automatically enrolled into the KSS AHSN pension scheme when you join the organisation, at month 1
-
Health insurance - coming soon!
We are in the process of introducing health insurance for our staff, which is likely to be a lump sum amount paid to a member of staff's next of kin, should the unthinkable happen. Furthermore, we have enhanced our sickness pay policy, which is aimed at providing further comfort to our staff, during what remain to be unsettling times.
-
Season ticket loan
For those who may still require a season ticket loan for commuting purposes, we've got that covered too.
