Benefits of a career with SPS

At SPS, we know that different people look for different things from their employer. So, we have designed a package of pay and benefits that give you great choices whatever your circumstances, and however they may change in the future.

As an employee of SPS you'll enjoy....

Generous annual leave -

Starting at 34 days (37 for Senior Managers), your annual leave entitlement will increase to a maximum of 42 days (including 12 days in lieu of public holidays). See the Pay and Benefits statement for the job you're interested in for more details.

A great work life balance -

At SPS we understand that your circumstances may change, or that you may need to fit work around your home life. So, we offer career breaks, partial retirement and a range of family friendly policies to help you, where possible, to match your work life to your home life.

A competitive pension -

SPS offers a choice of two pension schemes - a career average defined benefit scheme (NUVOS) and a stakeholder scheme (Partnership). More details can be found on the Civil Service website
