RSHP is an Equal Opportunities Employer

Employee Benefits

RSHP offers a competitive array of benefits within the architecture sector. Note, some benefits are dependent on location and length of service before staff are eligible.

Financial

Group Income Protection Scheme

This is an exceptional benefit. Paying out 80% of salary to the employee should they become sick long term. Only 8% of UK employers currently provide this and it is typically expected when applying for a mortgage or other large loan.

Group Life Assurance

This death-in-service insurance policy pays out three times an employee's annual salary in a tax-free lump sum. This is typically the type of policy that individuals would be expected to pay themselves when applying for a mortgage or other large loan.

Profit Share

After one and a half years with the practice, employees are eligible for a generous profit share in the financial successes of RSHP.

Maternity and Paternity Leave

RSHP provides eligible employees with enhanced maternity and paternity leave that is in addition to statutory maternity / paternity leave.

Company Pension Scheme

RSHP provides a workplace pension where staff's regular contributions are supplemented by contributions by the company.

Charitable Distribution

A percentage of all profits are donated to charity every year. Each partner and employee direct their share of the charitable distribution to a charity of their own choice. Over the years, substantial sums of money have been paid to charitable causes.

Interest-free Travel Loan

We offer an interest-free annual season ticket loan to cover the cost of public travel between home and the workplace.

Health and Wellbeing

Private Health Insurance

Health insurance gives staff access to private healthcare in the UK and helps cover the cost. This can be anything from private GP appointments to cancer treatment.

BUPA Health check

Considered as a ‘Health MOT,’ this thorough health check would cost an individual anything up to £500, but the practice pays for this for all UK staff once a year.

24/7 online GP, mental health support and virtual wellbeing

WeCare, is RSHP's 24/7 online GP and mental health support service, which also offers expert advice on a range of health-related topics.

RSHP Mental Health First Aiders

Staff members who have been trained to recognise signs and symptoms of mental illness and guide colleagues to support.

Gym Membership

RSHP subsidises 50% towards any membership at Virgin gyms for any eligible member of staff.

Cycle to Work

Through Cyclescheme, RSHP employees can get a bike (pedal or electric), bike components, equipment, clothing, helmets and more, tax-free.

Massages

A massage therapist visits the office once a month to give 15-minute chair massages.



Social

Office Trips

RSHP offers group staff trips to our built projects around the world, and a chance to spend time with colleagues in a relaxed setting. Recent trips include an excursion to Lille, France visiting the Louvre Conservation Centre and sightseeing.

Weekend House

RSHP bought and restored the Berthold Lubetkin-designed ‘dacha’ or holiday home ‘Holly Frindle’ near Whipsnade Zoo, Bedfordshire, and now all employees can book the home and grounds for the weekend to relax and unwind.

Monthly Lunch

Once a month, employees can enjoy a free delicious lunch in the RSHP kitchen, prepared by a local caterer.

Thirsty Thursdays

A relaxed setting in which project architects talk about their projects, external speakers give inspiring talks, and staff use the PechaKucha format to talk about their interests outside work. This is in addition to our CPD (Continuous Professional Development) programme which covers a broad range of formal and informal talks throughout the year.

Annual Summer Softball Match

Every summer current RSHP staff and ex-colleagues play a friendly match of softball followed by a barbecue in Regent's Park.

Softball, Football and Netball teams
