A person’s criminal record will not in itself prevent a person from being appointed to this post. Applicants will not be refused posts because of offences which are not relevant to, and do not place them at or make them a risk in, the role for which they are applying. However in the event of the employment being taken up, any failure to disclose such offence, as detailed above, will result in dismissal or disciplinary action by the Authority.</strong></p>\n<p></p>\n<h2>Additional information</h2>\n<p></p>\n<p>We offer a range of excellent staff benefits which include:<br><br></p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<strong>From 25 to 32 days’ annual leave:</strong><span> </span>linked to length of service and grade</li>\n<li>\n<strong>Buying annual leave scheme:<span> </span></strong>buy up to 20 days additional annual leave</li>\n<li>\n<strong>Career Pathways:</strong><span> </span>step up in your career or move into a specialist area</li>\n<li>\n<strong>Pension scheme:<span> </span></strong>with generous employer contributions of up to<span> </span>20.2 per cent (at July 2023) and 3x salary death in service grant</li>\n<li>\n<strong>Generous relocation package:<span> </span></strong>up to £8,000 (subject to eligibility)</li>\n<li>\n<strong>Employee Assistance Programme:</strong><span> </span>a free, 24/7 confidential counselling and wellbeing support service available to all employees, their partner or spouse and dependent children over 16 still living at home</li>\n<li>\n<strong>Work/life balance:</strong><span> </span>flexible working options including working from home where possible.
