Work and life aren't on opposite sides of the scales - work is part of life. Our vision is a society where everyone can make work work around all the other commitments and enjoyment of life.

Through our community, Flexible Working Scotland, we support over 20k people wishing to work and recruit flexibly and advocate for greater flexibility and equality in the workplace.

Fully revised for 2024!
THE definitive guide to finding part-time and flexible work in Scotland. This is the only guide to all the jobs sites and platforms offering roles in the public, private and third sectors for people living in Scotland who want to work part-time and/or flexibly. Updated for 2024 with new jobs boards and the new legislation.
Weaving work into life
Every career, every (work)life blend is different. Particularly when you don't feel supported, or when you have had a career break for any reason, it is easy to lose confidence in your experience and abilities.
We are here to help individuals and organisations make the most of skills and to support the design of lifestyles of which work is a meaningful and fulfilling part, aligned with individuals' values, ambitions and potential.
