Benefit of public sector IT jobs

There are many benefits to working in technology in the public sector. Some of these benefits include:

Flexibility of the public sector
Flexible working patterns in the public sector are common and these may include full-time, part-time, job share, remote, or hybrid working.

Learning and development
Opportunities for training and development are often plentiful in the public sector. Public sector employers often support colleagues through different professional qualifications, training, and e-learning.

Salaries in the public sector
Wages in the public sector are competitive when compared to those in the private sector. Average pay in the public sector rose by 5.8% in the three months to May 2023, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).

Public sector benefits
Public sector jobs often come with a range of good benefits, including a generous pension scheme and holiday allowance. This is sometimes higher than in the private sector (depending on grade) and is likely to increase over time.

A diverse and inclusive culture
The public sector has a culture encouraging inclusivity and diversity, and they often have a range of local and national employee networks.

Tech job stability in the public sector
Public sector technology jobs have full government backing, which usually lets them promise more stability than most for-profit organisations, which are vulnerable to mergers, acquisitions, and redundancies.
