Other benefits you will enjoy include:

  • PA support: to provide crucial back-office support to free up your time to focus on professional practice.
  • A thorough and supportive induction: to enable you to feel confident and knowledgeable in your role.
  • Nine-day fortnight: We will provide you with a nine-day fortnight working schedule.
  • Flexible working: As part of our ongoing investment into transforming our social care practice, all of our practitioners are given mobile phones and hybrid devices, affording them the functionality to work flexibly and remotely, with a choice of office locations.
  • Help with relocation: We offer help with relocation of up to £8,500, for qualified social workers who are moving to Hampshire, to help them settle into their new area and new role as quickly and smoothly as possible.
  • Family friendly policies: We offer a full range of family-friendly policies. These include generous maternity, paternity, and adoption entitlements.

  • Staff discounts: You will have access to a range of discounts on goods and services. These include holidays, insurance, loans, health and fitness, broadband TV and phone, food, and drink, and much more.
  • Annual leave: We offer a generous annual leave entitlement in addition to Bank Holidays. At this grade, you will receive a minimum of 25 days per annum (pro rata) rising to a maximum of 28 days (pro rata) after 5 years' service, plus Bank Holidays.
  • Travel support and discounts: You are able to access a range of travel discounts such as 10% discount on MOTs, a range of cycling discounts with selected retailers and 0% interest loans.
