Workstyles

At the Council all job roles are allocated a workstyle. The Council have three categories of workstyles, which are:

Fixed - This is when employees work in a fixed location. This signifies the role to be permanently based from one fixed location (this could be an office or home if agreed under a flexible working request). There may be ad hoc exceptions such as attendance at a specific meeting or training is required at an alternative location. The postholder for this role is allocated a base location and is predominantly expected to work from here.

Field - This is when employees work in the field. This signifies the role to be predominately based out in the community and has a minimum requirement for ‘touch down’ space. Employees in this workstyle tend to travel to various locations for work, meetings, training etc where required.

Flexible - This workstyle denotes that the postholder’s base location is flexible, to meet the needs of the business. The postholder can work from a mixture of home or any Council office, partner/client, or external location, as required. This workstyle provides employees the option to work from home, however the work base location remains as stated in the contract of employment. Employees have flexibility to work from office space at any of the council buildings across the City of Wolverhampton or choose to work from home (UK based Address).

All council roles are allocated to either a fixed, field or flexible work style. Some roles are agile which enable and empower employees to maximise their performance and productivity, whilst maintaining a healthy work life balance. Roles with a fixed workstyle work in a fixed permanent council location. Roles with a field workstyle are usually allocated where employees are required to be out working in the community with a minimum requirement for 'touch down' space at any council location. Roles with a flexible workstyle have a flexible base location to meet the needs of the business and employees can work from a mixture of home or any council office, partner/client, or external location, as required to meet service requirements.

Please refer to the Job Description for further information on the workstyle assigned to the role you are applying for.
