Working parents or carers

Our flexible working policy [doc] 798KB recognises the importance of promoting a balance between work and personal life through flexible working. This policy explains the provisions that are available for employees at Ashford Borough Council and the process for making an application.

It also seeks to encourage staff to consider flexible working arrangements as part of the council’s intentions to support employees in achieving a balance between work and other priorities, such as physical and mental wellbeing, caring responsibilities, leisure activities, further learning and other interests.
