Flexible Working
Decide when and how you work with our formal and informal flexible working options.
When it comes to balancing your professional and personal life, finding a company which values a healthy work-life balance matters.
That’s why we’re committed to providing as much support and flexibility as possible to help you reach your full potential, both inside and outside life at QinetiQ.
We understand a one-size-fits all approach doesn’t work when we are all unique with different circumstances.
That’s why we offer a wide range of formal and informal flexible working options; from taking every other Friday off, being there to pick up your children from school or enjoying shorter summer hours.
Depending on your job role and location you have many flexible working options
Imagine an environment where you have the power to shape your working day, balancing professional commitments with your personal life.
Depending on the requirements of your role, we empower you to decide when, where and how you work. Our flexible working options are enhanced by a hybrid approach of working on site, remotely and a blend of the two.
I will be in Bath at a client site for a team workshop.
I'll be heading to our QinetiQ Portsdown Technology Park site to lead a team workshop.
I'll be working from home, I need a quiet space to reflect on and generate the workshop outputs and undertake virtual engagements.
I'll be working from home again, as I don’t need to be anywhere in particular and all engagements are virtual.
I'll be working from home to make the most of my half day. I don’t need to be anywhere specific and all my engagements are virtual. I’ll be pressing pause on my working life at 11:00am as I'm going away for the weekend!
I prefer to start my working day earlier, giving me time to catch up on actions and emails before meetings and sometimes I'll finish earlier if I’m in the office, this enables me to miss the traffic and get home to still have some evening time!Jess, Group Performance & People Advisor
We’re a military family posted to an area with no relatives nearby to help with childcare, so it’s a huge help. With two young kids, all my annual leave gets used in school holidays so it means a lot to me to have these Fridays to do something for myself or catch up on things around the house.Emma, Bid Writer
Being able to work flexibly is incredibly empowering and demonstrates QinetiQ’s commitment to support our life balance. It’s made a huge difference to me personally and I feel enables me to be more productive and energised through the day.Joel, Group Digital Learning & Wellbeing Lead
Working at QinetiQ provides me with great flexibility with choosing both where and when I work. It’s great to be in the office to connect and collaborate with my team, however I really value being able to work from home when I need to focus.Jess, People Partner Group Functions
I really enjoy the flexible way in which QinetiQ allows people to work, in particular with my manager it’s about the work I am doing, not where I am delivering it or the hours that I’m working. My work adapts to my hours as long as I am able to deliver the goals and objectives we’ve set as a team.Keating, Group Reward & Global Mobility Partner
