The normal working week is 37 hours; however, you may occasionally need to work beyond normal office hours.

In return we offer:

1. Flexible working hours.
2. Family friendly policies.
3. Annual Leave entitlement of 25 days, increasing to 30 days after 5 years’ service.
4. Free, secure on-site car parking.
5. Health & wellbeing services, including free access to gyms at Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Service locations.
6. Employee discount scheme (Boost).
7. Employee support networks.
8. Enhanced Maternity Pay (subject to meeting eligibility criteria).
9. Occupational Sick Pay subject to length of service, increasing up to 6 months’ full & 6 months’ half after 5 years’ service.
10. Ongoing training and development opportunities.
11. Eligibility to join the Local Government Pension Scheme with generous employer contributions.

Please be advised that we are currently in the process of introducing a new Job Evaluation scheme and will also be reviewing the pay and grading structure. As a result of this, all Support roles will be re-evaluated.

We are committed to equality and fairness at work. Applications are encouraged from all diverse communities. Under the Disability Confident scheme, we will offer an interview to a fair and proportionate number of applicants with a disability that meet the essential criteria for the role.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of Adults, Children and Young People. Our recruitment and selection procedures reflect this, and all staff are expected to share this commitment.

Police security vetting procedures at the appropriate level will be requested for the successful applicant.
