Relocation payment

If you are taking the leap to move to Gloucestershire to become part of our improvement journey, we want to help make it as easy and stress-free as possible. We are able to offer those eligible up to £8,000 to use towards costs of setting up your life in Gloucestershire.

Retention payment

The rewards don’t stop once you start. We want to promote a stable workforce and believe that your ongoing commitment to the children and families in Gloucestershire should also be rewarded. Stay with us, and once eligible we will pay you a further £2,000 per annum as a thank you.

Your Social Work England registration

We’ve got you covered! We will pay for your professional fees.

Local Government Pension
