Benefits

The WLGA is an exciting place to work.

The WLGA is moving into new, modern, open plan offices at One Canal Parade, Cardiff in December 2021. One Canal Parade is part of an exciting new urban development, which includes a variety of local amenities and is within a brief walk from Cardiff Central Station and the City Centre.

The WLGA has recently introduced cutting edge agile working arrangements which provide a lot of flexibility in terms of when and where work is carried out; the new office at One Canal Parade is fully equipped in terms of layout, furniture and ICT infrastructure to support all types of individual and collective work styles.

At present, though, and most probably into early 2022, working from home will be the predominant work style, taking into account the Welsh Government’s covid 19-related message to work at home wherever possible.

The WLGA offer staff a friendly and supportive working environment, along with a range of employment-related benefits:

• Incremental pay rises and contributory local government pension scheme.
• 26 days annual leave, rising to 29 after 3 years then rising to 32 after 5 years of service, plus 8 days bank holiday.
• Agile working policy which encompasses Flexitime, flexible working including options to work from home.
• Cycle to work scheme, travel loan facilities and free staff car park.
• A range of supportive policies, including career breaks, job share, leave purchase scheme and other leave arrangements.
• Generous maternity, adoption, paternity and shared parental leave.
• Centrally located office in the heart of one of the UK’s most vibrant cities.
