We offer a supportive working environment is friendly, modern offices in a central London location with excellent transport links. We are pleased to offer the following benefits to employees:
Family-friendly
Hybrid Working
The College is committed to promoting flexible working for all members of staff and has adopted a hybrid working model where (subject to the College’s operational and management requirements) staff have the flexibility and autonomy to work part of their time at the College’s premises and part of their time from home. Working in the office will be based on operational and management requirements so staff are not required to come into the office on set days or for a minimum number of days per week.
Flexi-time
The College operates a flexi-time process. The standard flexi-time band starts at 7.30 am and ends at 6.00 pm with core hours being 10.00 am-4.00 pm
Annual Leave
We offer 25 days annual leave, or the pro-rata equivalent for part-time staff. Annual leave increases by one day for each complete year of service up to a maximum of 30 days.
Parental leave pay
Enhanced parental leave pay is available to eligible staff members.
Childcare vouchers
A salary sacrifice scheme to support the payment of childcare is available to eligible staff members.
Statutory Holidays and College closure days
Public holidays, when the office is closed, are recognised as statutory holidays with pay. The College is also closed between Christmas and New Year. These days are in addition to your annual leave entitlement and are therefore not deducted from your leave balance.
Moving day
Staff are given 1 day of leave to move to a new house which is not deducted from your annual leave balance.
