Southwark does not offer 100% remote working or hybrid working and there is an expectation staff will attend our main office at Tooley Street on a regular basis for face to face meetings.
Since COVID we have waived the eligibility period for staff to apply for non-statutory flexible working which can include an agreement to regular working from home.
We are an organisation who is passionate about our people and understands that richness of diversity is a requirement to provide the best possible services to our communities. This is demonstrated through our council-wide ambitious commitment to tackle racial inequality in our communities and workforce through our Southwark Stands Together initiative. We particularly welcome applications from members of the black, Asian and ethnic minority communities to increase representation at senior management level in the Council.
