Four days’ work, five days’ life: what that means in practice

With a 4/5 working pattern, you work four days a week instead of five, but retain a full-time contract. That fixed day off gives you breathing space for personal projects, caring for loved ones, further study or simply more rest. You’ll find this working pattern increasingly common in companies within the financial sector, accountancy and insurance. Think of roles such as credit analyst, claims manager or non-life insurance underwriter. These are roles with responsibility and substance, where the working pattern is a conscious choice by the company, not just a perk. Which companies do we put you in touch with for a 4/5 working week role? These include both large financial institutions and medium-sized firms, operating in insurance, asset management or accountancy. We look beyond your CV and seek a role that truly suits the way you want to work. That way, you’ll know even before the first interview that the work schedule is right for both parties.
