Ways of working

At GLL one of our core values is ‘More than a Job’, because working with us opens up a wide range of possibilities and opportunities for you, starting with how you work with us.

We believe that every individual is unique, and we aim to offer a choice in the type of working arrangement that best fits your needs, lifestyle, and career ambitions.

So, subject to vacancies, whether you are after a contractual commitment and a consistent work schedule or the freedom of flexible hours, you may be able to choose an arrangement that works best for you and play your part in improving the health and wellbeing of your community.

We offer two different types of work arrangements:

  • A permanent employment contract - part-time and full time
  • A flexible worker engagement by joining our flexible worker pool

If you are looking for a regular number of hours that you can work, and are flexible to meet the needs of a 7-day-a-week service, then a full-time or part-time permanent contract might be the right choice for you. With this contract,  GLL commits to giving you a minimum average number of hours per week or per month, and you commit to work and fulfil the shifts assigned to you. It's the perfect option for those who look for greater job security, career progression and a consistent work schedule. The shift patterns are set based on the needs of the service first and foremost but consideration is always given to personal circumstances.

 

On the other hand, if you prefer a more flexible work schedule, and do not want to make an ongoing longer term commitment, being part of our flexible worker pool might suit you better. As a member of our worker pool, you have the flexibility of taking on work offered from period to period based on your availability (although once you are offered and you accept a set of shifts for a period, you must fulfil that commitment). It can be a good option for those who value flexibility in their work schedule or are looking for a secondary source of income to fit around another job or other primary commitments.

 

However you choose to work with us, you can be sure that you will be a valued member of our team, working with great colleagues, and making a real difference to people’s lives.

 

Why choose a full-time or part-time contract?

If you are looking for a regular number of hours that you can work, and are flexible to meet the needs of a 7-day-a-week service, then a full-time or part-time permanent contract might be the right choice for you. With this contract,  GLL commits to giving you a minimum average number of hours per week or per month, and you commit to work and fulfil the shifts assigned to you.

It's the perfect option for those who look for greater job security, career progression and a consistent work schedule. The shift patterns are set based on the needs of the service first and foremost but consideration is always given to personal circumstances.
