We value our employees, which is reflected in our 5 Core Values:
Commitment to the customer
With over 75 years of experience in the development, delivery and assessment, we have worked hard to secure a reputation for providing excellent customer service, and we strive to continue in this tradition.
Fairness
We ensure that both our colleagues and our customers are valued, always listened to and respected as well as treated equally.
Innovation
We continuously look for ways to improve what we do, what we offer and look at how we can add value.
Team working
We are committed to creating a strong team environment which supports our employees, which in turn helps to maintain productivity and motivation.
Valuing people
As an organisation, we promote honesty, equality and fairness to help nurture employees to reach their full potential.
We are committed to offering our employees a competitive benefits package, which includes:
Annual leave
Our employees receive 25 days of annual leave, 8 bank holidays and closure between Christmas and New Year
Learning and development
We support our employees to access relevant training and development opportunities to support their career ambitions. Training includes in house training and formal courses for employees to gain professional qualifications.
Pension
In accordance with Automatic Enrolment regulations, employees are assessed upon commencing employment and where the qualifying criteria is met, are enrolled into one of 2 qualifying pension schemes.
The default pension scheme for our employees is the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) and most employees will be either contractually or automatically enrolled into this scheme.
There are, however, a number of WJEC posts which are contractually enrolled into the Teachers’ Pensions scheme due to the responsibilities held within the role.
Both schemes are tax approved, defined benefit occupational pension schemes, with benefits being accrued under Career Average Re-valued Earnings (CARE) rules.
Family-friendly policies
To support families, we offer generous maternity, paternity, shared parental and adoption leave and pay.
Flexible working
Our offices are open from 7am to 7pm, allowing employees the flexibility to complete their 36.5 hours a week in a way which suits their needs. In addition, we understand the importance of work-life balance and will consider all requests for flexible working.
Free parking
We offer onsite parking for free at both our Western Avenue and Treforest sites.
