Torbay Council acknoledges that we all have personal lives and that flexibility is necessary to ensure that both business and personal needs are met. As such Torbay Council offers a wide range of 'work life balance' options and 'family friendly' benefits to staff. In the majority of arrangements, the Council has adopted a policy to provide more than the 'statutory minimum' to reflect that it values employee contribution and recognises that employees value a better work-life balance, whatever their circumstances.
Arrangements include the following:
- 37 hours full time working week
- Part time and job share opportunities, as well as term time only options (particularly in our Schools)
- Flexi time (where appropriate) - our standard scheme allows 18.5 hours credit; core hours are 9.30am to 4pm and the scheme is available up to and including 'Assistant Director' level. All we ask in return is that work is carried out in an efficient and effective manner at times to meet the needs of the service.
- Homeworking
- Good maternity, paternity,maternity support and adoption schemes
- Childcare vouchers
- Paid compassionate leave and time off for certain duties, emergencies and parental leave
- Career break scheme
- 25 days annual leave (Bank Holidays are in addition). In addition, employees receive an extra day's leave for every completed year of continuous local government service up to a maximum of 5 days and an extra day's leave after 10 years continuous local government service.
Full details of the benefits and childcare options available to Torbay Council employees are available from Human Resources.
