Our Benefits

We are proud of the benefits we offer and work hard to ensure that everyone has the best experience working for us. We want to make a positive and lasting difference for the communities we work with and support all of our colleagues to focus on making our vision a reality. Our wide range of financial and non-financial benefits are tailored to ensure all members of our team feel they belong, are valued, appreciated, and supported. Our offer includes:

  • A comprehensive wellbeing package including an employee assistance programme, a network of mental health first aiders, monthly virtual Wellbeing Hours with a diverse range of subjects and access to a range of wellbeing resources.
  • Our Cambs Rewards, an online portal to access a wide range of employee discounts, a car lease scheme, cycle to work scheme, Pure Gym free day passes and discount on some gym membership
  • The Local Government Pension Scheme is often viewed as one of the most valuable financial rewards of your job providing you with a secure, Government backed, guaranteed income, when you retire. You don’t have to worry about stock market crashes the benefits you build up are guaranteed and adjusted in line with the cost of living so they will never lose their value.
  • We provide colleagues with up to 37 hours paid time off through our “Time Off for Volunteering Policy”. This is on top of normal leave entitlement
  • We support colleagues in the Reserve Forces with additional paid time off. It is to undertake training commitments that cannot be undertaken outside of working time (up to a maximum of 18 days per leave year).

Our full range of benefits can be found in our Employee Benefits Brochure, and a link to more information on our employment offer, our employment related accreditations and our pay scales can be found at Jobs and Careers | Cambridgeshire County Council
