Job Sharing Policy and Procedure - September 2020

6. How Can Job Sharing be Introduced?

Job sharing can be introduced into a post in a number of ways:

  • An existing employee formally applying to job share in his/her current post through the Flexible Working Policy and procedure.
  • A joint application being made by two existing employees as a unit to share a post through the Flexible Working Policy and procedure.
  • An internal/external applicant making a request for their application for a vacant post to be considered on a job-share basis through the recruitment and selection procedures.
  • Two or more separate applications being made, whether internal or external, which can be matched together to form a job share unit.
