Generous annual leave entitlement

All staff are entitled to a minimum of 27 days annual leave, increasing to 29 days after five years' service and 33 days after 10 years service, plus general public holidays. This figure is pro rata for staff working part time.

Pension scheme

The NHS offers an excellent pension scheme, which includes life assurance benefits, voluntary early retirement benefits, ill health benefits and flexible retirement options.

Work-life balance

We understand the the importance of a good work-life balance and will offer flexible working to suit your personal circumstances wherever possible. We also recognise that employees may need to be absent from work from time to time to support their home lives and have leave procedures in place to support this.
