Swansea City Council Jobs

Job vacancies for the council can be found here

The City and County of Swansea is a major provider of services and employs a diverse range of individuals, with different skills, knowledge and experience. The Council values its employees and the contribution they make in enabling it to meet its many goals. It recognises that in order to motivate and retain this diversity we should offer flexibility in employment, that assists individuals in meeting their various domestic commitments, and gives them a greater choice over where, when and how they work.

To demonstrate our commitment to ensuring greater flexibility, the Council has introduced a number of flexible working arrangements which will enable all employees to achieve a better balance between their home and work lives.

The Council is committed to creating and developing a positive attitude to equal opportunities in the delivery of all its services and employment. It is also committed to creating a climate of 'inclusion', rather than exclusion, for employees whose pattern of work differs from what is often perceived as the norm , i.e. 9 to 5. Such employees will be included in routine and non routine activities such as management meetings, team briefings, performance reviews and training.

From April 2003 parents of children up to the age of 6 years ( or up to 18 where the child is disabled) have a statutory right to request flexible working. However, this does not provide an automatic right to work more flexibly.

The Council's package of flexible working arrangements includes:

• Part-time working
• Voluntary Reduction of Hours
• Term time working
• Annual Hours Contract
• Flexi-time Scheme
• Job Sharing Scheme
• Career Break Scheme
• Teleworking/Working from Home Scheme

This list is not exhaustive and other patterns of flexible working will be considered. For further details please contact (01792) 636618, or write to:
