Work / life balance

At GCC we have adapted to become more agile in our working, meaning that there is flexibility in how, where and when you work.  This means that we can work effectively and make the best use of available resources. 

Flexible working

Many employees at Gloucestershire County Council have the benefit of flexible working patterns including flexi-time (TOIL scheme), job share, part-time or compressed hours (where organisational requirements allow).

Hybrid working

Hybrid working arrangements are available for the majority of our roles, giving teams the opportunity to work in a way that suits them, balancing service need and individual choice, with a mix of both remote and office working.

Time off work

At GCC we are working hard to ensure our employees aren’t “All work, no play”. We offer an initial holiday allowance of 25.5 days (plus the 8 Bank Holidays), which will rise to 30.5 days after five years’ continuous service with us. You also have the opportunity to request to buy up to 10 additional days off through our Purchase of Additional Leave Scheme.
