Our Reward Benefits - Work For Scotland

Our Reward Benefits

We believe that rewards are about more than the salary you receive for a job well done.


Of course, working with us gives you the chance to make the sort of impact that’s rare with any other organisation in Scotland – you can contribute to decisions vital to Scotland, and play a part in developing and influencing the policies that touch all our lives.


We’ve developed a comprehensive range of rewards that recognise your achievements, build on your skills and help you find a healthy work/life balance.

  • 25 days of annual leave, rising to 30 days after 4 years’ continuous service
