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
- 11.5 days of public holidays in addition to annual leave
- Maternity, paternity, adoption and shared parental leave at enhanced rates after a qualifying period
- Up to 6 days paid leave for volunteering
- Paid and unpaid special leave to deal with domestic issues, and undertake a range of public duties.
Flexible working:
