Investors in People
Pension scheme
Our pension scheme is tiered with contributions based on your level of post. You can increase your contributions but this won’t be matched. We offer both the relief at source and salary exchange method.
| Grade | Your contribution | Stroke Association contribution |

| E and up | 3% |
6% |
Due to legislation, the pension scheme is not available for staff based in Jersey or the Isle of Man.
