As a feminist employer we strive to reflect our principles in our practice & are committed to considering a range of flexible working opportunities - we've listed some in the next tweet, & you are welcome to get in touch via info[at]engender[dot]org[dot]uk if you have questions.
We are open to discussing individual flexible working requests with candidates, which includes, but is not limited to; home working, tele working, condensed hours, annualised hours, term-time working, flexible hours of work, part-time / reduced hours & job-share.
Our current Development Officer vacancy is offered on a full-time basis, but we are happy to consider appointing someone on fewer hours over a longer period of time, or exploring job share options.
