Discounts / benefits
Make the most of the discounts and benefits available to health and social workers to help your budget go further. Check with your organisation to see if there are specific benefits available to you that are not listed below.
National support
Transport
Cycle to work schemes can help to save you money as a tax-free initiative. They allow you to purchase bikes and accessories at a discounted price whilst spreading the costs through monthly instalments. Ask your HR team to find out if this benefit is available in your organisation.
NHS employees can benefit from car lease schemes which work on the basis of salary sacrifice. The costs are deducted from your salary and in return you receive a non-cash benefit (i.e. a car). Check with your employer for more information.
Childcare
Use this calculator for help with childcare costs to find out how much you could get towards approved childcare, including free childcare for children aged between two and four and help with childcare costs if your child is under 16 (or under 17 and disabled).
Check if you’re eligible for tax-free childcare, how to apply and how to pay your childcare provider.
