Flexible Careers

What’s in it for you?

We'll support your integration into the firm from day one to ensure you're set up to bring your best.

You'll have the support of your career coach, onboarding buddy and team to support you throughout your journey at PwC, enabling you to have a fulfilling and rewarding career with us.

Joining through the Flexible Careers Network means you will have the opportunity to connect and build relationships with other flexible workers across the firm.

Types of roles available

Reduced days / hours

This is a part-time permanent contract allowing you to be a permanent employee whilst not having to commit to working full time hours. 

Annualised days

With an annualised days contract you would be on a permanent contract whilst working a certain number of days over the whole year. The expectation of when these days will be worked is flexible. 

Fixed-term contracts 

We also offer flexibility on fixed term contracts. These contracts last for a specific amount of time, set and agreed in advance. Fixed-term employees enjoy all of the same rights and benefits as with any other permanent contract, although factors such as holiday entitlement and employee benefits will depend on contract length. Depending on the role, and an individual’s performance, fixed-term contracts can sometimes lead to longer term positions.
