Agile working - We are proud of being an agile employer, supporting a wide range of ways of working which benefit both employees and the council including part-time working, remote working, job share/split, compressed hours, annualised hours, flexi-time, extended leave breaks and additional annual leave after qualifying period of employment.
Generous annual leave allowance – 25 days annual leave, increasing to 30 days after 5 years continuous service, and to 31 days after 10 years continuous service.
Local Government Pension scheme – planning for the future we ensure our employees have a generous pension to look forward to when you retire.
Commitment to employee wellbeing - We offer flu jabs annually and give support towards eyesight tests and a contribution to glasses for users of visual display units. We also provide confidential access to external counselling services and Occupational Health specialists as staff require. This has led us to being awarded the Workplace Wellbeing Charter.
Discounted leisure centre membership – up to 20% discount off annual membership rates with Tewkesbury Leisure Centre (Places for People)
Training and Development - We recognise the importance of training and education for our employees; therefore, we commit to training being a continuing process, taking place at any level in any job, and at any stage of an individual's career.
At Tewkesbury Borough Council, we believe our workforce is our greatest asset, and therefore our employees’ happiness, wellbeing and engagement is of paramount importance.
We are very proud of our culture and, as an organisation, the council has a commitment to valuing its employees – “We will support, praise and invest in our workforce to develop our organisation”.
