Flexible Working in BSol
Across our ICS, we embrace and encourage colleagues to request flexible working arrangements to improve their worklife balance and to enable them to work effectively.
There are many benefits to individuals, teams and organisations for considering and accommodating flexible working and employers withing BSol have tools and information available to help people make, consider and approve requests.
All NHS staff have a right to ask for flexible working, in accordance with the NHS Terms and Conditions Handbook.
This means:
- all employees have the right to request flexible working from day one of employment
- there is no limit on the number of requests you can make
- you have the right to make requests and have them considered regardless of the reason
- Your employer should keep a central overview of how requests in the organisation are being handled so they can check everyone is being treated fairly
- Your employer should explore all options including possible alternatives within the organisation and consult with you before rejecting a request.
If you would like to make a flexible working request, visit your organisations Intranet for information and guidance as well as details on how to make a request.
