35-hour week pilot

Since June 2024 we have been piloting a change to our normal full-time, 37-hour 5-day week. We have been piloting a shorter 35-hour week (for the same pay as before) where staff work a full day Monday to Thursday, and finish the working week at 1pm every Friday. It’s just a pilot at this stage while we evaluate its impact on our staff, our tenants, and the service we provide, but if successful we will consider a permanent move to this way of working in 2026.

In addition to this, hybrid working is expected with 2 to 3 days a week in our modern, bright and welcoming office with dedicated parking.
