Annual leave increases after 5 years’ service to 32 days, followed by an extra day a year up to a maximum of 37 days plus bank holidays in addition to this.

All eligible corporate staff are auto-enrolled onto the Local Government Pension Scheme with contributions ranging from 5.5% to 12.5%.

In addition, we will look to support anyone who requires Part Time/Job share working hours. We believe that a diverse workforce leads to innovation, creativity, and better decision-making, and we are dedicated to creating an environment where everyone can thrive.
Please note the appointment is subject to successful pre-employment screening i.e. asylum and immigration check, references, medical screening, and a minimum of a standard level Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check which includes current and spent criminal records information. Enhanced checks with barred lists will be carried out for roles that undertake ‘regulated activity’ which is a term related to working with children or vulnerable adults.
