Why work here?

Inside and outside of work, we all have different passions, responsibilities and motivations. And life can change rapidly. 

That's why we've designed a benefits package that works for everyone and supports you, whatever's happening in your life, when it's happening.

We call it our Total Reward Framework and it covers both the financial and non-financial benefits of working for us.

We’ll go through it in more detail if you apply, but here are just some of things our people love: 

• Learning and development: We're focused on your career and learning. We work with our teams to design annual learning plans that meet their learning needs, and invest in specialist training to equip our colleagues with the skills and knowledge needed to perform at their best. At the OfS, we recognise the importance of breadth to your career, so you'll have the opportunity to work in different areas, and be coached or mentored to develop your knowledge and skills
• Holiday allowance: Our holiday entitlement starts at 25 days per year and rises to 30 after five years’ service, plus generous public holiday leave on top of this
• Maternity/adoption/paternity leave: We help you put family first with occupational maternity pay in excess of statutory, and generous paternity and adoption leave
• Pension scheme: Your future will be in safe hands with the highly regarded Civil Service pension scheme. We demonstrate this with significant employer contributions
• Discounts: You'll have access to discount schemes which offer retail gift vouchers and gift cards redeemable at hundreds of high street names, online and in-store discounts, as well as free or discounted entry to shows, events and activities across the country
• Health and wellbeing: Your wellbeing is our priority. With two-yearly health assessments, access to round-the-clock wellbeing advice, and reimbursement for cholesterol tests, flu jabs and eye tests, we put your health and wellbeing at the top of our agenda
• Working arrangements: A set of organisation-wide principles shape our approach to flexible and hybrid working, which our teams then use as guidance on how they deliver their business goals. We do our best to find an arrangement that works for everyone and many of us work flexibly, part-time or in job shares
• On-site facilities: If you prefer walking, cycling or even running to work, we provide showers and lockers. We also offer a cycle-to-work scheme, saving you money on bikes and cycling safety equipment
• Equipment for working at home: Most of our colleagues spend some of their time working from home, and we'll provide you with the equipment you need to work safely and comfortably when you're working away from the office.
