Your working pattern

You may not want to have a full-time job or you may prefer to work for yourself rather than for someone else. However, if you're already in employment or are looking for a job, think about what would work best for you and your employer/prospective employer. Options you can consider include:

  • full-time work
  • requesting flexible working hours (including part-time work, flexi-time, working compressed hours, and job-sharing)
  • voluntary work
