Our offer

When you start you’ll be given a minimum of 26 days annual leave, plus bank holidays. If you stay with us, we provide extra days leave for your commitment and long service. 

We want you to work where you’ll be your most productive. For some that might be at home, others a mix of office and remote working. Your role will determine where you work, but our flexible approach is more than just your daily work location. 

You will have exclusive access to local and national discounts from over 800 retailers, as well as access to eye care vouchers and dental insurance. You can also be involved in our cycle scheme via salary sacrifice. 

Your wellbeing at work is a priority for us. We provide a counselling and Employee Assistance Programme to help team members deal with personal and professional problems that could impact on their home or working life. We put on regular wellbeing sessions covering a variety of topics and have a toolkit with resources, services and tips as well as a trained network of wellbeing supporters.

When you begin employment with Torbay Council, you will be contractually enrolled into a defined benefit workplace pension scheme that is relevant to the terms and conditions of your employment. Most roles are covered by the Local Government Pension Scheme but we also have access to the Teachers’ Pension Scheme and NHS Pension Scheme. All three pension schemes are Career Average Revalued Earnings (CARE) schemes which means your benefits are based on your salary for each year you are in the scheme. In addition, each year your pension is revalued in line with Pensions Act increases.
