Flexible working
Flexible working is a vital part of improving working lives and has a demonstrable impact on recruitment, retention and return to work.
The Trust has developed flexible working in line with the needs of our employees. Through this, flexible working arrangements are introduced that are innovative and diverse, but which reflect the needs of the individual whilst continuing to meet the needs of the service.
