Working In The Public Sector

The public sector offers a dynamic range of careers covering a wide range of skills and competencies. If you want to show your class as a teacher, then Cambridgeshire has high quality schools in a variety of urban and rural settings. Or you could be keen to keep the environment green or promote culture or transform transportation. The public sector touches every aspect of the way we live today and offers the opportunity to improve people’s quality of life.

The public sector is also in the frontline of helping people achieve a better balance between the demands of work and their own individual needs through championing flexible working. It’s a self-evident truth that people who are motivated and valued perform better.

There is another big advantage to public sector working and that is generous pension arrangements. The Public Sector Pension Scheme involves contributions from employees and employers and includes lump sum retiring allowance, death in service cover, spouse’s pension and ill health retirement provisions.
