Childcare voucher scheme
Our childcare voucher scheme is available to all employees and allows you to choose from a wide range of childcare providers.
The vouchers are exempt from both National Insurance contributions and tax so they are worth more than you would get by paying for childcare after this deduction has been made from your salary. The potential savings available vary according to the value of the vouchers you elect to receive, depending on whether you contribute to a pension scheme or not.
The Children and Young People Information Service aims to provide free, clear and unbiased information about childcare, education provision and a range of linked support services available for children and young people in South Gloucestershire, their families and carers. You can contact the Children and Young People's Information Service on 01454 868008.
Health and fitness
All employees can enjoy discounted membership fees for Bridges health and fitness centres with facilities in Kingswood, Yate, Thornbury and Bradley Stoke.

South Gloucestershire is lucky enough to have to an exceptional range of employers – large and small. We're home to the regional headquarters of the RAC and Airbus UK for instance, while AXA Sun Life, Rolls Royce, Hewlett Packard and the Ministry of Defence Procurement Agency all operate from the area.
Bristol, with its vibrant commercial centre, is home to many industries and household names, as well as a number of large-scale employers in the public sector, including several universities and quite a number of local NHS trusts.
