Job security – Job security in today’s climate can be somewhat uncertain.  We pride ourselves on being able to offer diverse careers with breath and longevity, having the stability of working for large, complex organisations delivering vital public services.

Working atmosphere – We offer a good working environment at work, with professional employers.  While we always provide high standards of work, it is important to us that all our employees have the right work / life balance; so you can enjoy the things in life that matter to you. We have fun at work too! We believe we do our best work when we love what we do!

Flexible working – As we deliver vital services to the general public, this brings into sharp focus the complexity of people’s lives, and the need for work and home life to complement each other. We recognise the different circumstances of our employees.  We offer flexible working hours to improve the services by individuals or teams working beyond the standard day, and to help employees to balance their work and home commitments.  Being 'digital by default' can enable greater flexibility around home or remote working.  This connectivity can ensure that in extreme weather conditions people can safely work from home instead of risking a treacherous journey.  Part-time jobs and job sharing are the norm in the public sector.  

Training & Development – We are fully committed to realising the potential in all our staff.  We have robust programmes of training and development to improve our employees’ knowledge and skill sets.  We always encourage employees to further develop their knowledge base and up skill with additional qualifications and support them with future career opportunities. Support will be provided in terms of payment of tuition fees and time to attend formal training courses.

Generous Leave Entitlement – We recognise that our employees work hard, and it is important that they spend time with their families and therefore offer a generous leave entitlement.  We also offer additional leave entitlements such as paid leave, volunteering leave, additional leave, paid leave during periods of illness and flexible leave.
