The guide has been put together based on extensive employer engagement and includes good practice examples from NHS organisations that have taken positive steps to increase flexible working and provides practical tips to help you get started.
This resource is aimed at colleagues that have a responsibility or interest in implementing flexible working, including HR professionals, line managers and nurse leaders. While the focus of this guide is tailored to the nursing workforce, improving access to flexible working for all staff groups is important in making the NHS an attractive place to work and many of the principles outlined in this guide can be applied regardless of job role, grade, or profession.
