- Access to flexible benefits such as a share incentive plan, salary sacrifice car and technology schemes, support via employee assistance lines and matched charity giving to name a few.
- Family care benefits including a back-up care service for when your usual care arrangements fall through (six paid days each year as standard with the option to purchase further days).

About Us
National Grid lies at the heart of a transforming energy system, supplying electricity, safely, reliably and efficiently to millions of customers and communities.
We are in the middle of a transformation; with the energy we use increasingly coming from cleaner greener sources. In 2019, for the first time since the industrial revolution, most of our electricity came from low carbon sources. National Grid is at the heart of that energy transformation – investing around £1.3bn each year to adapt and develop our transmission network to connect new sources of low carbon and green energy to our homes and businesses, whilst maintaining our existing electricity transmission assets.
We connect people to the energy they need to live their lives. We continually strive to find a better way. We Bring Energy to Life.
