HYBRID / DYNAMIC WORKING
Dynamic Working is an embedded part of our work culture at Scotsdales. So much so, that our dynamic working policies are written in to the terms and conditions of your employment contract.
For us, Dynamic Working is not just about where you work, but also when and how you work… and live. No two people have the same expectations at work and home, so our policies provide the flexibility to make sure you have the freedom and trust to work with your teams in ways that meet the needs of the business, and your own.
Not all our roles allow home-working due to the physical or security-related aspects of the role. Wherever possible though, hybrid working is accomodated by agreement with your line manager.
Depending on your level in the business, you could have options of paid overtime or dynamic leave too. Please note that specific arrangements vary by role level and business area, so please discuss with your recruiter when applying.
