Benefits of working for the Council

It is not always just the salary that will attract you to work for an employer.  Here at the City of Edinburgh Council , we have a wide range of benefits in addition to competitive pay rates, which make us an attractive employer to work for.  When you are successful in applying for a job with us, you can expect to receive a total package which is made up of:

• Financial Benefits - including a competitive and modern pay package, a generous final salary pension scheme and access to salary sacrifice arrangements for childcare and travel.
• Opportunities to achieve work/life balance - more paid holidays than are required by law and policies that help you to balance personal commitments with work.
• Discounts and Benefits - A Staff Benefits scheme is available to all Council staff and offers a wide range of exclusive discounts at businesses across the city. The scheme allows you to experience superb discounts in restaurants, shops, leisure facilities and much more.  You can view discounts online in the benefits magazine (available on-line at Edinburgh Staff Benefits).
