Kingsflex flexible working

We want all our staff to be able to strike a balance between work and their life outside work. This is why we offer Kingsflex – an innovative approach to working time and employment practices.

The scheme enables you to combine work more easily with the demands of a family and other personal interests and responsibilities.

Kingsflex options

There are a number of options including:

Flexi-time

You arrange your working patterns around core hours so you times of work complement those of other team members.

Part-time working

You work less than full-time hours over five days or on agreed 'fixed' days of the week.

Temporarily reduced working hours

This gives you time to deal with special circumstances such as a family emergency or to do a training course.

Job share

You share one role with one or more other employees.

Annual hours

Your hours are spread unevenly throughout the year, with fewer hours worked at certain times, such as during school holidays.

Phased return to work

You gradually build up the number of hours and days you work after extended absence such as maternity leave or prolonged illness.

Career breaks

You can take period of time off work unpaid for further education, travel or family care.

Special/parental leave

This enables you to take extra time off for family, personal or domestic needs and includes compassionate and carer leave, adoption and foster leave, and paternity leave.

Personalised annual leave

You can increase your annual leave entitlement with a commensurate reduction in salary, or sell leave for extra salary.

Flexible retirement

You can gradually ease yourself into retirement rather than making the usual abrupt transition from being employed to retired.
