It is our community’s unwritten rule to be as flexible as we can be. We understand life happens and on occasion we all need a bit of give and take in our day; we don’t want you missing your child’s school play, the new fridge being delivered and we know the boiler engineer comes at some point between 8 and 6! We believe our colleagues should have choice, flexibility and balance in their home and work life.
