Job location details - PLEASE READ RE OFFICE/HOME WORKING
We would expect the majority of roles to be either frontline/office-based or working in a hybrid way (Options 1 or 2). By exception, and where there is a hard to recruit “professional” /specialist role for a fixed term temporary assignment, recruiting managers may consider allowing the role holder to spend the majority of their time working remotely from home, with only occasional attendance at the office required (Option 3 below). As the Council is still currently piloting its hybrid working arrangements and to ensure consistent and equitable treatment, such arrangements in Option 3 would need to be discussed and agreed in consultation with your HR business partner in the first instance.
Please confirm selection in the Internal notes section:
- Frontline roles or those that have remained office-based throughout
- Part office / part home
- Remote working with occasional attendance in the office
(IMPORTANT NOTE – OPTION 3 ONLY TO BE USED BY EXCEPTION)
