Benefits
When you join the Hertfordshire Constabulary as a police officer, we'll make a wide-range
of benefits available to you. For starters, you'll enjoy the advantages of a contributory
pension scheme that offers generous benefits based on final salary. An annual leave
allowance that starts at 22 days and rises to 30 days depending on length of service
will also be a key benefit. We'll even provide an annual regional allowance of £2,000
to new officers and give you access to equity loans for housing under our key worker
scheme. Free rail travel when you're on and off-duty will be part of your package
and you can also choose to join a Life Insurance scheme with awards payable to your
spouse, partner and dependents. In addition to accessing crucial illness and sickness
cover, you can take out insurance at a preferential rate to cover legal expenses
connected to your job and benefit from the best rehabilitation facilities.
From flexible working hours to help with long term financial planning, we want to
give people the support they need to make a positive contribution to our services.
With us, you'll receive preferential travel insurance and access to a health care
scheme that allows you to claim expenses connected to eye exams, glasses and even
hospital stays. You can also obtain these benefits for your dependents. Mortgage
advice will also be available as will assistance with wills and discounts on cars,
insurance, holidays and plenty of other products. You'll also enjoy clubs and social
events as well as financial products available through the Police Credit Union.
And, if you have young children, our childcare voucher scheme will be a big help.
