Our benefits

Our purpose

We’re proud of the job we do and the communities we serve. We provide over 800,000 local people and businesses with day-to-day services they can trust. Join us and help shape the future for Oxfordshire.

How we work

With us you'll get the care and support you need to develop. If you like a bit of variety, or thrive on innovation, then you’re in the right place. We’ll give you plenty of opportunities to make your job as different and interesting as possible. And if you also want to fit in a gym visit, or walk the dog during the day, our agile working package is perfect.

Your career journey

We need the best from our team and want them to enjoy what they do. Coaching and mentoring schemes, regular one-to-ones, on the job training and review, and an online portal to help you manage your own development - it’s all designed to help you grow in your role.

Financial perks

When you work for us, you get competitive rates of pay and up to 32 days paid holiday every year, with the chance to buy more. You’ll also be enrolled into a great pension scheme, into which we contribute 19.9 per cent, no matter what you earn. For some roles there is also help with relocation expenses and settling in costs. Our bike and green car purchase schemes also make moving around financially flexible.

Family friendly

Family comes first, that’s why we’ve built a range of different benefits to support you. As well as our flexible ways of working around the role you do, you can make the most of our maternity and paternity schemes, and tax-saving childcare vouchers. But family isn’t just about the kids. If you have elderly relatives to care for, we’ll help out there too.

Rewards and recognition

Who doesn’t love a pat on the back and the chance to save money? With Vivup highfive, our colleague recognition scheme, we celebrate success across the organisation. Vivup also gives great savings on holidays, insurance, eating out and more.

Health and wellbeing

Wellbeing is a big priority for us. You’ll get access to a range of different support opportunities such as our round the clock employee assistance programme. Salary Finance is also on-hand to help with financial wellbeing. There’s also the chance to manage your health and wellbeing through regular one-to-one sessions and team meetings.

The environment

We’re committed to Oxfordshire becoming net-zero by 2030 and enabling us to be carbon neutral before 2050. Our Climate Action Framework sets out how we will tackle climate change. We’re also signed-up to the UN’s Race to Zero, a global campaign to bring individuals, businesses, and the public sector together to fight the climate crisis.
