Recognising your contribution

The NSPCC recognises the hard work and dedication of its staff and we believe in keeping hold of the people who help us make a difference.

Pay and reward

The NSPCC’s pay system is designed to attract and retain talented and committed employees who help us realise our objective of ending cruelty to children in the UK.

Salaries in the new pay system reflect market rates of pay for similar jobs in each of our relevant job markets and are reviewed annually to ensure we continue to reward our staff appropriately.

An employee who demonstrates all the required skills, knowledge and competencies to perform their role in full, will be rewarded in line with their performance. 

Annual leave

The full-time annual leave entitlement is 29 days per annum plus bank holidays. After five years’ continuous service, your entitlement increases to 32 days per annum.

Pension

A money purchase pension scheme is available to all NSPCC employees engaged on contracts of 13 weeks or more.  If an employee contributes 3 per cent, or more, of their basic salary the NSPCC will contribute 6.7 per cent – more than double the amount you put in. The employer contributions will rise in relation to length of service and percentage contributed by the employee.   

Allowances

A series of allowances are available depending on the location and conditions of your position. These are detailed, where applicable, in the terms and conditions of employment. The allowances may include:

• A relocation allowance is payable for some jobs if you have to move home in order to work for us.
• Essential car user allowance of £1,200 per annum, plus 40p per mile if you are required to use a car extensively for work purposes.
• A home-based working allowance is paid where there is a requirement to work from home.
