A review of salaries usually takes place each April. Salary awards will take into account an assessment of individual performance. A minimum of six months service is required to be eligible.

Hours of Work and Flexible Working

The standard working week at Save the Children UK is 35 hours. Start and finish times can be agreed between employee and manager.
