The Organisation
The Risk Management Authority (RMA) is a non-departmental public body, established in 2006. We are a small team of less than 30, and we aim to support our colleagues in as many ways as we can, embracing our values of learning, integrity, fairness and excellence.
We are currently working on a hybrid basis to allow for a better work/life balance, and we offer a flexible working policy and provide flexi time for all staff. As part of the Scottish Government, we are pleased to be able to offer a wide range of benefits including 40.5 days leave, which is 29 days annual leave plus 11 ½ public/privilege holidays you can use flexibly at a time that suits you, as well as an excellent civil service pension provision including 28.97% employer contribution.
Wellbeing is a key focus for the RMA. Right now colleagues can take advantage of a weekly wellbeing hour, a paid hour per week to do something to support your mental or physical wellbeing. This will continue through to 2024, where it will be replaced by a shorter working week. We are working towards reducing the working week from 37 to 35 hours, with no reduction in pay. We also provide an Employee Assistance Service (EAS) where you can get expert guidance 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, whether you are experiencing issues at work or at home.
We really value the experience and expertise of our colleagues. Supporting your professional development is a priority for us, and we’re proud to provide a generous CPD offering.
