Only a fraction of UK job ads offer flexibility

Less than nine per cent of well-paid job adverts (those offering a full-time salary of £20,000) offer flexible working, new research has found.

The findings, which are published as part of the Hire Me My Way campaign to encourage employers to take on more part-time and flexible workers, analysed over 5 million job adverts. They found that little progress – 8.7%, up from 6.2% last year - had been made on offering flexible working options to jobseekers over the past year.
