Rewards

Our people are engaged in fulfilling work which benefits the whole of society. They enjoy working in a hi-tech, fast-paced environment. They're team players who engage with people from all walks of life - both in and out of ONS. They're open to opportunities at a variety of levels. And they're our most important figures - which is why we want them to enjoy more than a rewarding career.

As well as a competitive salary, you'll benefit from the following:

Holiday allowance
We offer 25 days' annual leave in addition to 10.5 days' public holiday and privilege days.

Work/life balance
We're keen to promote a better work/life balance, so we offer a range of flexible working options. We're building on our family friendly policies too, and some sites offer childcare facilities. (On-site facilities vary, and more details can be found on the location pages).

Career development and progression
With Investors in People accreditation, we're committed to ensuring equality of treatment for all. We offer great development opportunities - for those at the beginning of their careers and for experienced professionals. All of our people benefit from a personal progression plan tailored to suit their individual needs and, with plenty of opportunities and support to attend on and off-site training courses, many of them work towards valuable professional qualifications.

Pension schemes

Your pension is a valuable part of your pay package. Usually you will be enrolled automatically into nuvos when you join us, but you can also choose to join a partnership scheme instead. Your nuvos pension offers more than just an income for you when you retire; it also provides income for your dependants when you die, and life assurance cover while you are in service. We will send you more details of both schemes in your Starter pack but for more details, please click here www.civilservice-pensions.gov.uk
