What benefits do we offer?

17 March 2008

 The vast majority of DFID staff really enjoy working for us, so our staff turnover is relatively low even when compared with other public sector employers.

We think that's because we offer:

• Flexible and family-friendly working
• Personal development plan and first-class training opportunities
• Travel season ticket loans
• The opportunity to travel overseas and the chance to compete for overseas postings
• Generous allowances for some overseas posts - look at our recruitment policy summary for details
• A Civil Service pension - still rated as one of the best schemes in the public sector
