Flexible working

At Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust, our aim is to proactively encourage flexible working; we believe that it benefits everyone if people are able to achieve a positive work-life balance.

We are proud to be a Timewise Accredited NHS Trust, and offering flexible working is an important way for our Trust to attract and retain staff. We welcome flexible working across all job roles to support your work-life balance.

  • Job sharing – two part-time employees sharing the work and pay of a single role
  • Compressed hours – usually full-time hours but over fewer days, for example a 9 day fortnight
  • Staggered hours – having different start and finish times
