Flexible Working Approach

We advocate the benefits of a flexible and hybrid working environment, recognising that this means different things, to different people, in different roles. Want to apply as a job share or propose a way of working that isn’t the traditional 9am – 5.30pm, Monday through to Friday? We’re all ears!

WORKING PATTERNS WE OFFER

Part-time: An employee who works fewer hours than a full-time worker. There is no specific number of hours that makes someone part-time, but a full-time worker will usually work 35-40 hours a week.

Flexi-Time: This is a working schedule that allows employees to choose when they start and end their workday, usually to accomodate an individuals needs and other commitments outside of work.

Core Hours / Staggered Hours: Core hours refer to specific times an organisation requires an employee to work, for example 10am to 4pm. Staggered hours are when an employee has different start and finish times from other workers.

Mutually Agreed / Predictable Hours: These refer to a pre-agreed number of hours between a business and employee. These may flex up and down slightly, however they generally remain the same month on month.

Compressed Hours: This is where an employee increases the volume of hours worked each day in order to reduce the number of days worked.

Full-time: A full-time employee works between 35 and 40 hours per week, usually on a permanent contract.

WORKLOAD OPTIONS WE OFFER

Reduced Hours: This is a provision given by an organisation to an employee to work for a lesser number of hours as compared to the mandatory working hours set for all employees.

Job Share: An arrangement where two people, or sometimes more, are retained on a part-time or reduced-time basis to perform a job normally fulfilled by one person working full-time.

WORKPLACE OPTIONS WE OFFER

Hybrid Working (Office / Home): This means an employee splits their time between the workplace (usually office based) and remote working (usually at home).

Office Working: This refers to an employee being physically present in the workplace to fulfil their contractual responsibilities.

LIFE EVENTS WE OFFER

Career Breaks / Sabbatical: These are an extended periods of agreed absence from work. The term is often used interchangeably with "sabbatical", which is generally taken to mean a shorter period of leave of several weeks or months.

Shared Parental Leave: This allows parents to share a portion of leave and pay with their partners to care for children from birth, usually until their first birthday.
