There are a number of policies and procedures that relate to the pay and benefits offered to Waltham Forest Council staff, including school staff working in maintained and voluntary aided (VA) schools.
Employees who work at Academies that purchase the service will have access to Workplace Options.
Waltham Forest Council employs staff from a range of diverse backgrounds and ensures that all our policies are inclusive. We also take active measures to remove barriers that may hinder or prevent staff from accessing benefits and ensure that all staff benefits apply equally to both opposite and same sex couples.
School staff employed by the London Borough of Waltham Forest are eligible for a number of benefits. Staff benefits are currently being refreshed, so this page will be updated once they have been finalised.
If you have any queries regarding staff benefits please email the HR Employee Relations and Advisory Service at Waltham Forest Council.

Childcare vouchers were created to help parents afford childcare and return to work. If you are a parent, make sure you are not missing out on substantial tax savings. The Council's Childcare Voucher provider is currently P&MM Employee Benefits.
