A CAMPAIGN has been launched to create more flexible jobs in Hampshire.

Ten2Two Hampshire, the recruitment agency specialising in professional flexible roles is addressing the social and economic need to create more flexible jobs in Hampshire by launching the 'THINK FLEX WORKS' campaign.

The campaign comes as only 3 per cent of new professional roles in the county are advertised as flexible, which Ten2Two say creates a lack of opportunity which has repercussions for communities.

The campaign will raise awareness about the benefits of flexible working policies in businesses.

Campaign Manager Mariangela Franchetti said: "It is crucial to our local communities that we challenge the status quo.

"We campaign to effect real change by informing and supporting our local businesses in the drive to change cultures and think agile and flexible. We have the support of Caroline Nokes MP and we are talking to other Hampshire MPs and business leaders to raise awareness."

Owner of Ten2Two Hampshire Louise Boardman-Rule said "We speak to professionals every day who are desperate for a job but have commitments that need flexibility at work, we are best placed to see that people are trapped in a bottleneck due to lack of opportunity.”
