FLEXIBLE WORKING

AHS is a supporter of Flexible Working; over a third of our staff have a flexible work arrangement. We recognise that a better work-life balance can improve employee motivation, performance and productivity, and reduce stress and therefore want to support our employees in achieving a better balance between work and their other priorities, such as caring responsibilities, leisure activities, further learning and other interests.

Please include detail in your letter of application or talk to us at interview about the flexibility you need. We cannot promise to give you exactly what you want, but we will do our best to accommodate your needs. For this role we are open to discussing the possibility of reduced hours, {remote working}, flexible start and finish times, or compressed hours.

AHS is committed to agreeing any flexible working arrangements, provided that the needs and objectives of both the organisation and the employee can be met.
