Work life balance and well-being

This is about adjusting working patterns and may mean working at a different time or in a different place, helping each other to achieve a work/life balance and helping the council achieve more flexibility in the way it delivers its services.

WorklifeBalanceWe are keen that people find a rhythm that enables them to combine work with their other responsibilities or aspirations.

Finding that balance could include Flexible Working for example:

  • 9-day fortnight
  • part-time working
  • job share
  • flexi-time
  • term-time working
  • annualised hours
  • working from home

We pride ourselves on our flexible working initiatives and have created a culture and climate that ensures maximum use of office space and time.
