Flexible Working
We’re committed to flexible working. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach for creating the best flexible working environment. As our value of kotahitanga describes, we draw our strength from our diversity and we can find all sorts of ways of making flexible working work.
It's worth noting that flexible working isn’t just about working remotely, it’s also about being flexible with when you work. This could include when you start or end your working day, or having longer or shorter work days depending on the tempo of your work, and other commitments.
Work life balance is important to us so we’ll work with you to create an arrangement that works for the both of us.
