We support flexible working at the School of Engineering. Read more about how flexible working has helped our staff. David Stewart, Manager User Support (retired) "The School of Engineering supported my request to compress my working hours into a four day week, such that I need not work on a Friday... this has been of great benefit to my family." Dr Efthalia Chatzisymeon, Senior Lecturer "During maternity leave, my line manager provided support by offering flexible terms on when I wanted to return to work and asking if I wanted to work from home or part-time in order to meet the needs of my new-born." Dr Hannah Chalmers, Senior Lecturer and Discipline Programme Manager "I felt completely supported by the School on my return to work. My teaching commitments were rescheduled at my request to be more compatible with my childcare responsibilities." Dr Jennifer Skilling, Senior Lecturer "I have always found the Department of Chemical Engineering and all its subsequent successors leading to the present School of Engineering to be very supportive of allowing part-time flexible working." Dr Yuner Huang, Lecturer and Researcher "I took maternity for six months. It was a very smooth transition thanks to the School’s support." Katalin Kis, Biological Laboratory Support Technician "I feel lucky to be part of a work environment that considers the needs of the individual." Laura Smith, Research Institute Services Supervisor "The proposal [for flexible working] was supported by the School and my manager with no hesitation, and is reviewed on a regular basis."
