Our benefits package has been designed to help us attract, motivate and retain the best people and includes:
Pay
Annual performance-related pay increases.
Pensions
Access to a choice of excellent pension schemes from day one.
Generous annual leave entitlement
25 days annual leave on appointment rising to 30 days after two years service, plus 10½ days bank holiday and privilege leave.
Lifestyle options: supporting working parents, supporting carers, supporting you
We recognise that whatever job you do at whatever level, you need to strike a balance between your work and home life – whether you are a parent, a carer or you wish to pursue a leisure interest. We have developed a range of policies, many of which go beyond our legal obligation as an employer, to help you do just that.
Flexi-time
We operate a flexi-time system which allows staff to work hours that suit their lifestyle and responsibilities – although access to this scheme is of course dependent on Ofgem’s operational needs.
Flexible working
Staff at Ofgem have the right to request alternative work patterns, e.g. part-time or compressed hours. The technology is also in place to allow staff to work from home. We will consider requests to work in alternative patterns or to work from home but the final decision is of course dependent on Ofgem’s operational needs.
Childcare vouchers
We work with Busy Bees to provide staff who have parental responsibilities with the option to save the tax on £243 per month of their salary to pay nursery or childcare providers.
Career breaks
We will consider requests for career breaks, of course dependent on the needs of Ofgem.
