Flexible Working - Armed Forces

Looking for a better work-life balance? Find out how you can change your working pattern to suit your lifestyle. 

Not every job has to be 9 to 5 or in the office every day. Working patterns can be adapted to meet your needs in some roles, whether it’s having time to pick the children up from school, being able to work from home or working full-time hours over fewer days, freeing up time for other things

 

The MOD has a useful guide on Flexible Working in the Armed Forces. Find Out More: Flexible_Working_and_You_Apr_2023.pdf (still current as of 2026)
