Flexible working
The Department of Health Sciences recognises that each individual staff member has a different work-life balance and is committed to ensure that everyone's needs are respected and considered.
We encourage the use of flexible working including:
The University also offers Maternity, Paternity and Shared Parental Leave schemes.
The Department recognises that there are a range of circumstances when you may need to take time away from work, but that it may not be reasonably expected for you to use annual leave or flexi-time.
Leave in special circumstances is intended to provide a sympathetic response to this, and the procedure and guidance provide a framework for making and considering these requests for time off. Visit the University leave in special circumstances page for further information.
