With your work comes reward. Our success depends on the quality and performance of our people. We want to ensure that we attract and retain the right people by offering a competitive 'total reward' package. Some of the rewards that you can expect are set out here:

Salary and Individual Incentive Plan Award

A competitive market-based salary that reflects your skills, knowledge and overall contribution to the FSA. You can earn a performance-related incentive award of up to 35% of salary. We focus on rewarding our highest performers.

Benefits

We operate a generous benefits package that includes as standard:

  • 20 days holiday (you can extend this to 35 days as part of our flexible benefits scheme);
  • a highly competitive non-contributory pension scheme;
  • life assurance;
  • private medical insurance;
  • permanent health insurance;
  • occupational sick pay;
  • employee assistance programme;
  • health screening; and
  • an interest-free season ticket loan up to the value of £5,000.

And, at our Headquarters building,

  • a subsidised restaurant; and
  • a subsidised gym.

To add to this, we provide an attractive flexible benefits allowance that allows you to opt for dental cover, childcare vouchers, travel insurance and top-ups on other benefits, including holiday and pension.

If you don't want to buy extra benefits with your allowance, you can simply have the extra cash.

Learning, development and other rewards

But, of course, working at the FSA is not all about financial rewards. It also gives you:

  • unique insight into the full breadth of financial services;
  • the chance to contribute first-hand to the financial well-being of millions of UK consumers and to the health of our financial markets;
  • access to excellent learning and development opportunities;
  • a wide range of interesting jobs and varying career paths;
  • a reasonable balance between work and home life, including flexible working arrangements; and
  • support for you to achieve both your personal and professional development objectives.
