Benefits
Whatever your role, we take your career and development seriously, and want to enable you to build a really successful career with DVLA and wider Civil Service. It is crucial that our employees have the right skills to develop their careers and meet the challenges ahead, and you’ll benefit from regular performance and development reviews to ensure this development is ongoing. As a Civil Service employee, you’ll be entitled to a large range of benefits.
These include:
- 25 days annual leave on entry, increasing on a sliding scale to 30 days after 5 years’ service. This is in addition to 8 public holidays
- a competitive contributory pension scheme that you can enter as soon as you join where we will make a significant contribution to the cost of you pension; where your contributions come out of your salary before any tax is taken; and where your pension will continue to provide valuable benefit for you and your family if you are too ill to continue to work or die before you retire
- generous paid maternity and paternity leave which is notably more than the statutory minimum offered by many other employers
- childcare benefits. Working parents can open an online childcare account and for every £8 they pay in, the government adds £2, up to a maximum of £2000 a year for each child or £4000 for a disabled child. Parents then use the funds to pay for registered childcare. Existing employees may be able to continue to claim childcare vouchers
- interest-free loans allowing you to spread the cost of an annual travel season ticket or a new bicycle as well as access to the government’s Cycle to Work scheme
- occupational sick pay, employee assistance services and health and wellbeing initiatives such as flu vaccines and health screening
