We’re family-friendly
We provide enhance benefits for those on maternity, paternity and adoption leave. We also have family-friendly policies, allowing you to take urgent leave to deal with a domestic issue, and planned leave to support caring responsibilities.
Travel and transport
As an NCHA colleague, you’ll be able to access discounts on bus and tram passes. We also support the national Cycle to Work scheme. This allows you to pay for a bike using salary sacrifice, so that you don’t pay tax or National Insurance on your bike payments.
Training and development
We have a long-standing record of investing in training and development. We provide an extensive in-house training programme for our colleagues, with over 60 training courses available each year. We also provide access to formal qualifications, specialist external courses and conferences.

We encourage our colleagues to join either of our recognised trade unions, Unison and Unite.
