Employee Assistance Programme

Heath Assured continues to be available for all Trust staff and their immediate families. We have had a number of staff across the Trust use the service, with some coming forward to let us know how beneficial the services have been for them.

All advice is provided confidentially; the Trust will not be informed of who has used the EAP or the reasons for the support provided.

Cycle 2 Work Scheme

We are able to offer the Cycle 2 Work Scheme for all employees across the Trust. This is in partnership with Halfords and means that you can purchase a bike or accessories via the scheme and save between 32% to 42%.

You can purchase a bike and/or accessories for up to a maximum value of £1,000. The costs are spread over monthly interest free payments that are deducted via payroll across a 12-month period. If you want to be able to spend a little more we do have access to another scheme that allows you to spend up to £2,000 maximum on your bike and accessories.

Further information is available here. Please contact Rachel Hickson: rhickson@imat.uk with any queries.
