Benefits and Opportunities

Enormous job satisfaction and rapid professional development is a given when you join us. But the list of benefits is as endless as the possibilities for career progression.

Salary

Audit Manager – £49,072 – £63,235
Audit Principal – £36,487 – £50,215

All our salary scales are reviewed each April.

Annual leave

You will enjoy 25 days holiday. In addition to eight bank holidays, you can also expect two and a half privilege leave days.

Pension scheme

You will be enrolled into the Principal Civil Service Pension Scheme from the day you join, or you can take out a stakeholder pension called a Partnership Pension Account.

Childcare vouchers

We offer vouchers for children aged up to eleven, with higher rates for the under-fives.

Health check

Health screening is available to all staff. The frequency will depend on your age, with annual checks for those aged 50+, screens every second year for those aged 40 to 50 and checks every third year for those under 40. And if you have a particular health concern, Human Resources will be happy to arrange an urgent appointment. What’s more, we’ll pay for your annual eyesight test.

Season ticket loans

Interest-free season ticket loans are available after three months’ continuous employment, on application to the Payroll department.

Our Group Life Scheme complements the cover already provided under the Principal Civil Service Pension Scheme, and is available to the majority of staff aged 18 to 70.
