We recognise that our colleagues are our most important asset. As an organisation we need the best people, which is why we aim to provide an attractive benefits package and positive employment experience. We have wellbeing at the heart of our work with people and our colleagues too. We have family friendly policies, flexible working, employee assistance programmes and many other benefits available to colleagues.

Some of our benefits include:

Wellbeing, Employee Support and Counselling Services

We are committed to protecting the wellbeing of our staff. As well as providing a supportive environment, we also have a confidential employee support and counselling service, which provide assistance should you have any with personal or work-related issues.

Excellent pension scheme

All staff can join the BCP Council pension scheme which is part of the wider Dorset County Council scheme. The Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) is a tax approved, defined benefit occupational pension scheme.

Cycle to work scheme

As part of the Health & Wellbeing Programme, we have taken advantage of the Government’s Green Transport Plan and introduced a Bike to Work Scheme. This scheme allows you to lease a bike and safety equipment over a 12-month period for use in travelling to, from and at work.

Discounts for colleagues

Include local initiatives such as discounted beryl bikes and scooters, a corporate subsidised membership scheme for BCP Council’s leisure facilities, and many other offers including leisure discounts and car leasing schemes.
