Benefits

Recognition and rewards

We recognise and reward the valuable contribution our colleagues make every day through competitive pay, generous annual leave and a range of staff benefits.

Pay and annual leave

All roles (except Medical) are paid under the NHS Agenda for Change framework, with enhanced rates for colleagues who work unsocial hours. This includes work undertaken between 8pm and 6am Monday to Friday, as well as hours worked on Saturday, Sundays and bank holidays.

New NHS employees receive 27 days of annual leave, plus bank holidays. This increases to 29 days after five years’ service and to 33 days after 10 years’ service. If you are joining us from another NHS organisation, your continuous NHS service and annual leave entitlement will transfer with you. You will also receive bank holiday allowance added onto to your yearly annual leave entitlement.

Employees are also able to buy some extra annual leave days.
