At Buckinghamshire Council, we know great work happens in different ways. That’s why flexibility is at the heart of how we work.

• Most of our colleagues spend around 60% of their week working remotely, combining home and office time.
• Many roles are available as hybrid, part-time, job share, or compressed hours.
• We support four main work styles – fixed, on-the-go, mobile, and any desk – so your environment suits your role.
