All applications for leave or time off should be discussed initially with your manager and entitlements are pro rata for part time employees and those working irregular working patterns.
Flexible working
We promote a positive work-life balance and seek to support any employee who wishes to work flexibly, but this has to be balanced against the needs of the service. If you wish to work flexibly you should initially discuss your request with your manager.
There are a range of flexible working options available to employees. Where flexible working arrangement results in a reduction of working hours, entitlement to annual leave, bank holiday entitlement and other leave scheme entitlements will be adjusted according.
Please read the full flexible working policy attached to this page for more information.
