NHS pay and benefits

We also have one of the most generous pension schemes on offer. As an NHS employee, you’ll have unique access to a health service discounts scheme too.

Looking after patients, looking after you 

Compassionate care comes from staff who are well looked after, and the NHS is a well-respected national employer.  

We have one of the most competitive and supportive benefits packages offered anywhere in the UK, including:  

• length of working week 
• holidays  
• career progression 

Flexible working  

Our flexible working options and benefits such as childcare mean that we can help you with your work/life balance and maintain wellbeing for you and your family.  

Annual review  

Everyone counts in the NHS and that applies to staff as much as patients. We’ll look after you and help you fulfil your potential.  

Everyone in the NHS has an annual personal development review and plan to support their career aspirations. And there are development opportunities and access to training courses for all full- and part-time staff.  

350 Careers, One NHS, Your future 

We have more than 350 different careers available and one of them could be just right for you.
