Employee benefits

Holiday

We know that having time off is important for your wellbeing. All our employees have a generous annual leave entitlement of 23 – 31 days (depending on the length of service), plus Bank holidays. 

Cycle to work

You can get a discount on the bike of your choice and pay for it through our salary sacrifice scheme. The Cycle to Work Scheme not only saves you money, it can also help improve your physical wellbeing!

Agile working

We know how important it is to maintain a healthy work/life balance, particularly when you’re juggling your work and personal life. We’re flexible and know there are many ways to do a job well. We understand that people work differently so we ensure that you can work and grow in a way that suits you.

There are a diverse range of careers on offer at Warwickshire County Council, some of which will be site-based, on a rota while others that are more flexible.

Family friendly

Warwickshire County Council (WCC) is committed to family friendly working, often giving more generous benefits than the legal entitlement.

Staff discounts

All our employees have access to a range of discounts with major brands and retailers. You can save on everything from your weekly shop to your gym membership!

Pension

The Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) is a valuable part of the pay and reward package for employees working in local government. You can contribute to your pension through your pay which helps you to plan for the future.

Visit the Warwickshire Pension Fund website for further details.

Credit Unions

All our employees are able to join the Citysave credit union – an easy, hassle free way to save, and you have the option to have deductions taken direct from your salary. Member savings do not attract interest but as a co-operative any profit at the end of each year is given back to members in the form of a dividend on savings.

Recognition

We’ll give you the support and encouragement you need to succeed and help others around you – because we know a job done well, is a job done together. We want to celebrate your successes and reward our employees who go above and beyond to support their colleagues and our customers.

Our culture encourages ongoing recognition and thanks, we have regular ‘shout outs’ in our Leadership broadcasts and weekly newsletter. We also have an annual celebratory awards event based on colleague nominations.

Inclusivity

We are committed to creating a more diverse and inclusive organisation so people feel that they belong and can bring their whole self to work.

One of the ways we support this is through the development of five staff networks that raise awareness to colleagues, provide the opportunity of inclusion, as well as being an amazing tool to offer support to each other.

Learning and Development

Learning and Development plays a big part here in Warwickshire in enabling our staff to "be the best that we can be".

You can expect an induction to WCC, induction to your directorate and a specific induction for your service area and your role in a mix of face to face courses, online courses and eLearning modules.

We have a wide range of different topics available and there are opportunities to develop and grow through coaching, mentoring and apprenticeship qualifications. You will take part in the appraisal process where you have discussions with your line manager about how they will help you grow and develop.
