Perks at Work
Live Well, Work Well.
We aim to attract and retain the most talented people to help us advance our purpose. We understand that while you’re building your career with us, you are managing life beyond work. Our programmes have been put in place to help you thrive, so you can bring your whole self to work every day.
Whether you’re entering the next exciting chapter of your life, such as planning to grow your family, looking to relocate overseas, or phasing towards retirement, we have programmes to help ease these big transitions. We also recognise that daily life has its challenges and have Employee Assistance and Health + Wellbeing programmes in place to help you navigate life’s ups and downs as smoothly as possible.
— Parental Leave
To support you in one of life’s most important transitions, we offer a minimum paid parental leave standard globally:
- 12 weeks’ Paid Parental Leave for Primary Carers
- 6 weeks’ Paid Parental Leave for Non-Primary Carers
- Access to employer funded parental leave after you’ve completed 6 months’ employment with us
— Employee Assistance Programme
We provide support navigating life’s challenges in the form of an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP), which covers:
- Access to speak to a qualified counsellor over the phone or in person
- Support for a range of concerns including financial, relationships, life transition, support with work-related concerns
- Access to educational materials
— Employee Referral Programme
Do you know a friend who already works at Sims?
- Our Employee Referral Programme recognises employees who successfully refer people aligned with Sims Values, and bring the experience required for the role they’re referred to
- If a referral is hired full time, the referring employee may receive a bonus once the new starter has been successfully employed for a period of time (subject to regional programme terms and conditions)
— Flexible Work Arrangements
Whilst a lot of our work requires us to be out and about or on site, we’re constantly innovating to enable flexibility for all roles, depending on job requirements.
- Our site-based roles offer shifts that start and finish early (or late!) giving you space in your day to spend time on the other things you love in your life
- Corporate roles provide access to work from home, giving you more time in your day when you don’t need to commute!
— Mobility
Are you looking for an organisation where you can work to gain global exposure, with the potential to relocate to a different country? With sites across the country and the globe, we have opportunities to work from a breadth of geographical locations.
— Health + Wellbeing Programmes
Sims benefits include access to health and wellbeing benefits, to help you maintain optimal health.
— Supporting Family Life
We have partners within our regions who provide services that help support financial wellbeing. Depending on the region you’re in, this could include access to car allowances, income protection, or health insurance.
— Retirement Preparation
Essential to your wellbeing beyond work is the ability to retire with financial security. Sims has established arrangements to help you build your nest egg, regardless of where you are across the globe. If you’d like more details on the benefits available to you, please feel free to ask when speaking to a member of our team!
