We are open to applications from candidates of all backgrounds and abilities. For people returning to work after a career break, or with caring responsibilities for whom full-time working isn’t ideal we have a range of family-friendly policies in place.

Whatever your needs or situation, we will do our best to agree on a working pattern that suits you. From the possibility of job sharing to compressed hours and homeworking, maternity, paternity, adoption and shared parental leave and in some cases, flexibility on working location.

Met Office workplace adjustments passport:

Every Met Office colleague is provided with the option to use the Met Office Workplace Adjustments Passport. The passport helps to start conversations about workplace adjustments and travels with them throughout their career, as we recognise that we all may need workplace adjustments at some point in our working lives.

Open to all

We are committed to being a more diverse and inclusive organisation. We are proud to be a Disability Confident Employer and have signed the Mindful Employer charter which supports mental wellbeing at work. We have also been awarded Investors in Diversity accreditation by the National Centre for Diversity.
