Why Join Us

How would you simulate the natural cycle of daylight underwater?

Pay that recognises your contribution.

We offer a competitive and fair approach to salaries that looks at how you’re performing against your specific role profile and what external organisations are paying for similar roles to determine your pay packet.

Life Assurance in case the worst should happen

It’s worth noting that your policy differs depending on the pension scheme you choose.

Bonuses & Recognition that reward excellence.

All employees are eligible for an annual bonus – subject to performance. We also offer rewards that recognise individuals and teams that go above and beyond what’s expected.

Financial Assistance to help you spread the cost of financial burden.

From interest-free loans for tenancy deposits to The Charity of Civil Servants that’s been providing support to Civil Service alumni and current employees since 1886.

20 Two market-leading pension schemes to choose from.

Alpha’s scheme is valued at roughly 26% of your salary and is more definitive around how much you’ll receive. The Partnership scheme gives you total investment flexibility without any personal contribution but this also comes without the certainty of what you’ll receive when you eventually claim.

Plenty of holiday to rest and recharge.

Starting with 25 days holiday, eight bank holidays and an extra day for the King’s birthday, we also offer unpaid career breaks of up to five years.

Diversity & inclusion

We’ve worked hard to create an organisation where everyone belongs, no matter who you are, where you come from or how you think. We know as well as anyone that a diverse team offers unique and insightful perspectives that fundamentally improve overall performance.

We have a range of employee networks dedicated to supporting and championing our fantastic people. To help with this, we’ve recently partnered with Vercida, a company that aims to help employers promote a positive and diverse working environment. It’s no secret that we have underrepresented groups within DNE but by promoting opportunities through Vercida, it’s our aim to reduce the imbalance.
