Your Development Matters
Off to a Good Start
When you start work with Barnsley Council, you’ll go through a
well-structured induction programme. You’ll be assigned a buddy
who you can turn to for advice, help and support. Throughout
your probationary period, you’ll have regular reviews to see how
you’re getting on.
Making Progress
As an employee, you’ll have regular performance and
development reviews, which allow you to access personal,
professional and career development opportunities.
Individual Development Plan
As part of your performance and development reviews, you
will work with your manager to agree a personalised plan for
your development. This could include specific job-related
training, access to online courses, leadership and management
development, secondments and project work.
A job that works for you
We want you to enjoy working for Barnsley Council and to work hard
for the benet of Barnsley and its people. We will support you every
step of the way, from your initial induction through to your personal
development and ongoing career.
Strength in Diversity
Barnsley Council offers equal opportunities to all
colleagues and citizens, without discrimination.
Our approach to diversity aims to recognise, manage
and value difference, to enable all colleagues to
contribute fully and to realise their full potential.

Pay and Pension Scheme
Pay rates for all of our posts are very competitive and will increase
in line with any national pay settlements.
We offer an attractive Local Government Pension Scheme
which you and your employer contribute in preparation for your
retirement. Some of the key benefits are:
At retirement you will receive a pension for life – with the option of
a tax-free lump sum.
We, the council, make contributions that are significantly higher
than your own contributions.
Holiday Time
You get between 21 and 30 days annual leave, plus additional
discretionary days, public holidays and other special leave
provisions. (If you work part time, your leave allowance will be
calculated pro-rata). You can also choose to purchase additional
annual leave through our annual leave purchase salary sacrifice
scheme (see page 16 for details).
Employer Supported Volunteering
We are working hard with our communities so that they are strong
and resilient and that’s why we offer up to four days volunteering
time for our employees.
We treat all employees equally and fairly. We offer a competitive pay
package and access to an excellent pension scheme. We offer generous
holiday allowances, with the option to add more days through our annual
leave purchase scheme.

Our flexible working opportunities include:
Flexi Hours
This scheme allows you to carry forward up to 15 hours’ credit or
10 hours’ debit each month (pro-rata for part-time employees).
In practice, that means you can take a maximum of one full day,
or two half days, flexi leave each month. If you don’t use this
allowance, you can transfer either half or one day’s accrued flexi
leave to your annual leave allowance – to be taken under your
normal annual leave conditions. You can do this up to a maximum
of five days in any one leave year.
Voluntary Reduction in Working Hours
If your circumstances change, you can ask for a voluntary
reduction in your working hours – either for a short time,
or permanently.
Getting the right work-life balance can be tricky. We’ve developed
some exible working opportunities that help you to adjust your
hours or take time off when you need it – whether that’s to give
your mum a lift to hospital or to watch the children on sports day.

Salary sacrice
schemes
What is a salary sacrice scheme?
It is a scheme that allows you to give up part of your gross salary in return for the
council providing certain services or products. This means that in some cases
you save on income tax and both you and the council save on National Insurance
contributions.
You can access a range of salary sacrice schemes, which are a great way to save
money on various useful products and services.
Cycle2work
You can purchase a new bike and accessories at reduced rates
through a monthly salary sacrifice. Cycling to work instead of driving
by car not only helps you to stay fit and healthy, it reduces transport
emissions and congestion and saves you money on petrol and
related expenses.
Childcare Vouchers
If you have children, you can access substantial savings on the cost
of childcare by choosing to take Childcare Vouchers in place of
some of your normal salary.
Annual Leave Purchase Scheme
This scheme gives you the chance to purchase additional annual
leave, giving you the flexibility to take extra planned time off work.
Car Parking Scheme
You can purchase a parking permit to use in selected council car
parks and pay directly from your salary.
Technology Scheme
You can purchase the very latest technology and gadgets and
spread your payments, interest free, over 24 months, through
deductions from your salary.

Taking Pride in your Achievements
Employee Excellence Awards
The annual Employee Excellence Awards celebrate those
employees whose achievements and contributions have
shown particular excellence and innovation. We select finalists
in seven categories and the winners are announced at an
awards ceremony.
Long Service Award
The Employee Long Service Award recognises colleagues who
have given 25 years of continuous service to the council. These
dedicated individuals receive £100-worth of high-street vouchers
and either an extra day’s leave or an extra day’s pay, depending
on where they work.
100% Attendance Award
This award is given to employees who have worked a full
12 months with no periods of absence for illness. The recipients
are rewarded with an extra day’s paid leave.
Showing our Appreciation
Throughout the year, we make a point of recognising and
showing appreciation for the efforts, commitment and
achievements of our colleagues. Managers give regular
positive feedback and celebrate any notable achievements
with their teams as they happen.
We’re proud of our employees and we like to celebrate and reward
their achievements and contributions. That’s why we have a series
of awards that recognise the efforts of colleagues who go above and
beyond their normal duties, who show dedicated service or achieve
something remarkable.
