Your benefits

Our annual leave starts at 23 days (165.6 hours). The entitlement increases with length of service, up to a maximum of 30 days (216 hours), plus 3 discretionary days, which are used over the festive break. This is in addition to the statutory Public and Bank Holidays.

We recognise that having or adopting children is a significant life event. If you have caring responsibilities for babies or newly adopted children, you’ll have the opportunity to share up to 52 weeks’ leave should you wish to do so.

The organisation’s pension scheme offers life assurance cover based on 3 x your basic salary payable upon death in service.

Where your role allows, on the days you don’t need to meet up to work collaboratively, you can work from a base of your choice. This could be any public place such as a library or coffee shop, or your home.
This flexibility gives you the space to focus on key tasks, whilst also being able to prioritise your wellbeing and home life – as well as having a positive impact on the environment, by travelling less.

We support colleagues to save for a comfortable a retirement as possible and are pleased to offer colleagues membership into the Social Housing Pension Scheme, Defined Contribution (SHPS DC) as part of our benefit package.

We offer an employer contribution of 10% with no minimum contribution from you. All colleagues receive the same employer contribution, no matter how much they contribute, with no maximum level of contribution, provided colleagues do not reach the HMRC annual allowance limit or allow their pay to fall below the minimum wage. Colleagues can decide how much they wish to contribute and we encourage everyone to think carefully about their retirement planning.

We offer a wide range of colleague programmes to support your personal and mental wellbeing, from free flu jabs to mindfulness seminars. Our Mental Health First Aiders are always available to chat through any problems and signpost you to more support.
