Communications Operators

As well as being very satisfying in terms of helping the public, the role of Communications Operator comes with plenty of other benefits too.

As part of the team, you’ll be eligible to join a contributory final salary pension scheme. We’ll also offer you 23 days annual leave that increases to 32, depending on your grade and length of service. But that’s far from all.

All of our Communications Officer roles involve shift work – something that we appreciate does not suit everyone – but our Work/Life Balance scheme means we can offer some flexibility whilst maintaining our operational commitments. If you have young children, our childcare voucher scheme will enable you to make savings. What’s more, if you’re a UNISON member, you’ll receive preferential travel insurance, access to a healthcare 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.

As you grow in your role, so too will the amount you’re paid. If you’re working the full shift pattern, you’ll earn a starting salary of £17,259, plus nine additional spinal column points for shift of £5,208 and a fringe allowance of £711, all together totalling £23,178.

Then, within the first 12 months with us (and upon successful completion of your Personal Development Portfolio), this amount will increase to £18,648, plus nine additional spinal column points for shift of £6,162 and a fringe allowance of £711, all together totalling £25,521.
