We think there are some great benefits of working here. All salaried
staff receive the following:

35 days holiday per year (including 8 Bank Holidays and 6 compulsory
days during University closure periods). These increase by 1-day per
year after 3-years of service up to a maximum of 40-days.
-
The opportunity to ‘buy back’ an additional week of annual leave.
-
5-days additional volunteering leave to engage with other charities
or community projects.
- Contributions into the NEST pension scheme.
- A flexible, supportive and adaptable approach to working.
-
Family friendly policies including enhanced maternity, parental and
adoption leave / pay.
-
Occupational sick pay scheme which increases with length of service
up to 13 weeks’ full pay and 13 weeks’ half pay.
- Access to Perkbox.
- A free NUS Card.
-
Access to selected University events i.e. free entry to the RUSU
Summer Ball.
-
Onsite car parking and access to the University of Reading car share
scheme.
-
Onsite sporting facilities (classes, racket sports, gym) at a
reduced rate for you and your family.
-
Access to University of Reading library (as Academic Visitor

We have a structured approach to pay and reward within the Students’
Union. We apply a grading system that includes 7 grades (A-G) each
with 5 increments. We apply this framework consistently to ensure our
pay is fair and transparent.
