FAQs

How can I apply?

You can apply for current job vacancies by clicking on the link by the individual job role and attaching a copy of your current CV. You can also apply to us for future opportunities by completing the on-line application on the Job Opportunities page outlining your key skills and experience.

Will I get any training when I start work with you?

Every new employee receives an individual Induction Plan outlining the key areas to be covered within the first three months. However, you will also receive an Individual Learning and Development Plan as part of the Appraisal Programme.

How will you know what training I will need?

Most importantly, we ask you. We also consider the technical skills needed for the job and the Company's Personal Effectiveness Standards and any appropriate Management or Supervisory skills required in your job. Your performance will be assessed through our Appraisal Programme on a regular basis and your learning and development needs are identified through discussions with your manager.

I'd like to work part-time, is this possible?

We have a number of employees working for us on part-time and job sharing basis and vacancies do sometimes arise for part time working. In addition, since the introduction of our Flexible Working Policy we have been able to accommodate a number of employee's requests to change their work arrangements due to childcare concerns or other work-life balance issues. However, the needs of the individual will always be balanced against the demands of the work. We are committed to a due process and applications are always given the proper consideration.

As I only want to work for a short time do you employ temporary staff?

Occasionally a contract is offered on a fixed-term basis, normally for an employee covering maternity leave or a long term absence. These vacancies will appear on the Job Opportunities page.

I'd like to study for Insurance or other professional Qualifications, is this something that Zenith support?

Yes. For details of the support you can receive for all formal, professional education programmes, please refer to the Benefits section.

Do you have appraisals?

All employees and managers have an annual Appraisal and two formal Reviews throughout the year. Formal objectives are set and learning and development needs discussed. These discussions are also an opportunity for employees and their managers to discuss career progression and working relationships. Successful performance is rewarded through the annual pay review in July.

I'd be travelling from Worthing, do you get any help with the cost of rail fares?

As we are ideally located next door to Haywards Heath railway station, many people travel in by train. We also offer Car Parking Loans for our local NCP Car Park.

Do employees get involved in decision-making?

We have an Employee Consultative Committee which meets formally three times a year who get involved in all matters of concern to employees. On a more regular basis we have informal discussions with Representatives to get feedback when issues are raised or employee views.
