Staff benefits

On top of our competitive salaries and development opportunities, working here entitles you to a range of generous benefits and services.

These benefits, which range from help with childcare to discounts off leisure facilities in the area, are designed to help all of our employees enjoy their time at work and at home, and find their perfect work/life balance.

• Accommodation
  Whether you're new to the NHS, or already work for us, we can help with your accommodation needs. There is accommodation available to rent on-site at St Helier hospital and also accommodation located near to both hospitals.
• Annual leave
  NHS staff are given a generous amount of fully paid annual holiday, depending on how long you have worked here. Under five years’ NHS services gets you 27 days. After five years’ service that rises to 29 days, and those who have worked in the NHS for 10 years or more get 33 days off (all plus public holidays).
