A great place to work

Benefits for staff include competitive salaries which we review each year, a flexi-time system, a generous annual leave allowance, and enhanced maternity and paternity pay. We support the wellbeing of our employees through annual health screenings and an employee assistance programme and our Mental Health First Aiders.

We actively support the professional development of our staff and encourage internal promotion. We also value the opinions of our employees and have a well-established staff representative forum.

We have held the Investors in People standard for many years and we were awarded Silver Investors in People status, in recognition of our achievements in people management. We were listed in The Sunday Times’ Best 100 Not for Profit Organisations to work for in 2012 and the newspaper also named us as one of the top 75 places to work in the public sector in 2010.
