Supporting Our Staff

Work Life Balance

Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service accepts that the world of work is changing and that more and more people have to juggle the conflicting responsibilities of home and work. With this in mind, the Service tries to ensure that all employees have the option to alter their working patterns to meet these demands and aims to provide a range of choices for all staff, provided we can still maintain our high quality services.

Some policies that may help towards an agreeable work-life balance are:

• Annual Leave
• Maternity and Paternity Leave
• Parental Leave
• Adoption Leave
• Special leave
• Right to request flexible working
• Part-time work and Job Sharing
• Career Break Scheme
• Voluntary reduced hours
• Home Working
• Flexible Duty Systems.
