Equality and Diversity
• The opportunity to influence your own annual salary increase based on your contribution to the role and organisation. • Membership of the Local Government Pension Scheme, which includes life assurance for you and your family and the option to take early retire- ment from the age of 55. • Generous annual leave entitlement of 32 days (rising to 35 days after 5 years’ service). This is also supplemented with public holidays and other leave provisions. • An employee discount scheme, which hosts a number of attractive deals including cash back and discounts at high-street retailers and access to top UK attractions at low prices.
We want people to have the opportunity to reach their potential and access services that meet their needs. We will enable this through our roles as a community leader, service provid- er and employer. Under the Equality Act (2010) we are required to prepare and publish one or more objectives.
Our equality objectives are:
• As a community leader, we will advance equality of opportunity by mit- igating the potential impacts of welfare reform on 16-24 year olds who require our housing services. • As a service provider, we will advance equality of opportunity by inves- tigating whether we can increase the number of people who are able to easily access the information they need, and satisfactorily complete the transactions they require, on the Council’s website. • As a community leader and a service provider, we will foster good re- lations and advance equality of opportunity by increasing participation in our heritage, arts and culture programme for people with disabilities, younger and older age groups, ethnic groups, religious groups and les- bian, gay, bisexual and trans people. • As an employer, we will advance equality of opportunity by encouraging a broader range of people to apply for Council vacancies.
• Rail season ticket as well as car loans.
Development As an employer we recognise the value of our people and care about helping our staff develop. Staff are encouraged to take up opportunities for continued professional development through regular one to one reviews and a personalised development plan. Wellbeing Staff wellbeing is important to us at Tunbridge Wells Borough Council in ensuring a healthy work-life balance for all. Each year our Healthy Lifestyles team arrange a healthy living week to encourage staff to get active and keep fit. However we don’t just stop there, we also offer a number of benefits throughout the year to help our staff to stay well.
