Staff benefits
People working at the Royal Bournemouth and Christchurch Hospitals are entitled to a number of staff benefits.
NHS Pension scheme
All employees, on joining the NHS, have the opportunity to join the NHS Pension scheme. The NHS Pension scheme offers an excellent benefits package, including life assurance from the day you join, family benefits, early retirement options and much more. The scheme is open to all employees aged between 16 – 75 years old, and is one of the few remaining final salary pension schemes.
