Job description:


This role is suitable for a hybrid working arrangement, a type of flexible working arrangement, blending a combination of all workplace options (including home) with an office identified as a base and which remains the contractual place of work.

Hybrid working means an employee working part of the week in their DWP office and, part of the week from home.

Hybrid workers will spend a
minimum of 40% of their time in the office over a four-week period.

The number of days that anyone will be able to work at home will be determined primarily by business need but personal circumstances and other relevant circumstances will also be taken into account.

This means that colleagues' experiences of hybrid working will differ. Also, any employee's experience of hybrid working could change over time as role requirements and possibly personal circumstances change.
