Flexible Working in the NHS – a toolkit for individuals

February 4, 2022

Are you wondering whether flexible working can support your work-life balance? Colleagues are reminded of the new flexible working procedure available on Connect that was introduced in September 2021 which enables all employees to request to work flexibly from day one of their employment, regardless of the reason. If you are considering submitting a request, there is now a new toolkit that is designed to help you prepare to have a positive conversation with your manager about the possibilities. Whilst not every request will be workable and the Trust cannot guarantee to agree all requests, the toolkit aims to help you identify the best solution for you, your team and the service you work in. The toolkit can be found on the HR pages of Connect by clicking here.

Note: Flexible working applications are now made via ESR Self Service – for guidance on how to do this visit please click here.
