Enabling all staff to achieve flexible working is a key priority at UCL.
Annual Leave
At UCL we offer 27 days of annual leave plus six closure days (at Christmas and Easter) as well as 8 bank holidays.
To further enhance flexible working employees are eligible to request to purchase up to an additional 5 days of annual leave per year (pro-rated for part time staff) which can be repaid via salary over a 10 month period. See the Annual Leave Purchasing Scheme (ALPS) for details.
Career Break
Eligible staff may apply to take a career break up to 12 months. See the career break policy.
Flexible Working
We also facilitate flexible working such as flexitime, annualised hours, term-time only hours, shift working, staggered hours, job share, part-time working, compressed hours. See the flexible working policy for more information.
Hybrid working guidance for all staff
Many staff are able to do their job using Hybrid working. See the hybrid working guidance for more information.
