To support a flexible approach to working is helped when you can recognise the benefits it can bring to both the individual and the business. Flexible working might involve changing the hours or days that are worked or the location worked from.

Requests for predictable hours can include extending a fixed-term contract, guaranteeing a minimum number of hours or even, an agency worker, changing to work directly for you.   

·        This Flexible and Predictable Working Policy sets out how to manage such applications.
