Your pension is a valuable part of your total reward package. A competitive contributory pension scheme that you can enter as soon as you join where we will make a significant contribution to the cost of your pension; where your contributions come out of your salary before any tax is taken; and where your pension will continue to provide valuable benefits for you and your family if you are too ill to continue to work or die before you retire. Visit Civil Service Pension Scheme for more details.

25 days annual leave on entry, increasing on a sliding scale to 30 days after 5 years’ service (allowance is pro rata for part-time employees). This is in addition to 8 public holidays. This will be complimented by one further day paid privilege entitlement to mark the King’s Birthday.

Due to the nature of the role, it is offered on a full-time working basis only.

This is notably more than the statutory minimum offered by many other employers.

Policy for new employees as of 5 April 2018: The government has introduced the Tax Free Childcare (TFC) scheme. Working parents can open an online childcare account and for every £8 they pay in, the government adds £2, up to a maximum of £2000 a year for each child or £4000 for a disabled child. Parents then use the funds to pay for registered childcare. Existing employees may be able to continue to claim childcare vouchers, so please check how the policy would work for you here.

Interest-free loans allowing you to spread the cost of an annual travel season ticket or a new bicycle.
