Further information
Hybrid working
Cabinet Office operates a hybrid working arrangement, blending a combination of all workplace options (including home) with a Cabinet Office 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 CO office and with their line manager’s agreement, part of the week from home.
The number of days that anyone will be able to work at home will be determined primarily by business need but 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.
JD Flexibility
From time to time you will be expected to be flexible in supporting the delivery of our intended business outcomes which may mean additional/different duties or a change of duties performed in your role.
