We offer a range of extensive opportunities, incentives and benefits to staff including:

• Access to STAR MAT’s employee benefits website with discounts on retailers, holidays, days out and so much more…
• Access to our Employee Assistance helpline for a range of free and confidential advice with a range of support materials available
• Continuous training and development opportunities
