Annual Leave

Time off from work will provide you with the chance to switch off and enjoy yourself, it is also a great opportunity to recharge and King’s offers all staff a generous annual leave allowance to promote a healthy work life balance.

All staff get 30 days’ leave per annum pro rata, which includes two wellbeing days. In addition to this, we offer four concessionary days between Christmas and New Year as well as bank holidays – if you work part-time this will be calculated on a pro rata basis.

Service Time (Volunteering)

Everyone employed by King’s can choose to spend up to three days per year (pro-rata if you work part-time) doing voluntary work for another organisation or volunteering scheme.

Wellbeing Days

As part of your 30 days annual leave, all staff have the benefit of two paid days off to support wellbeing and practice self-care in whatever way works best for you.

Flexible working

We recognise that flexible working can support people in managing their professional and personal lives. All our staff may ask to work flexibly and we are committed to considering your requests. The choices include part-time working, job sharing, working from home, career breaks, unpaid leave and flexible working hours.

Hybrid Working

King’s supports a hybrid approach to working, where possible, which means that staff may work a portion of their working week on campus and a portion of their working week from home. This gives employees and managers more options over where and when work is undertaken.

Career Break

We offer eligible staff the opportunity to apply to take a career break of a minimum of three months up to a maximum of one year.
