Employee benefits

People chose to work in local government for a variety of reasons, but most have a strong sense of public duty and a desire to do their best for the community in which they live. The pay is good too! The work can be interesting and varied, with careers opportunities and stability for those who value working for a caring employer.

We have various work-life balance initiatives in operation and employees have the right to request to work more flexibly (subject to certain criteria).

We want to attract the best applicants for jobs, so we provide an attractive reward package, including generous holidays, continuous training and professional development, family friendly policies and an excellent pension scheme.

Some of the family friendly incentives include:

  • Maternity and Paternity leave
  • Flexi-time
  • Job Share
  • Home-working
  • Flexible working arrangements
