Kent Rewards


Working in a school in Kent has a number of benefits, you may not be aware of, that can ultimately increase your wellbeing by improving the work/life balance and leave you with more money in your pocket; yes that’s right! 

Kent Rewards is the home of employee benefits, including staff in Kent County Council (KCC) maintained schools and academies. The range of benefits may surprise you… 

Childcare Vouchers

As a KCC employee you can make significant savings on the cost of registered childcare by using Childcare Vouchers. This is an HMRC approved salary sacrifice scheme, and is provided for KCC by Fideliti. If you are a parent or a guardian, you can convert a portion of your salary into Childcare Vouchers, which is not subject to tax and National Insurance deductions. You will have an earnings assessment when registering, and the amount you can receive in vouchers will depend on your tax bracket.

Cycle to Work  

Cycle2Work is a Government approved salary sacrifice scheme and is open to staff employed by KCC. (Please note the scheme is not open to staff in Foundation Schools, Voluntary Aided Schools or Academies.)

Through Cycle2Work, you can obtain a new bike and the appropriate safety equipment out of your gross pay instead of your net pay, meaning that you will save tax and NI on the cost. To qualify the bike’s primary purpose must be for your commute to work.
