[Back to Women at Deloitte]
At Deloitte, we understand that life is multifaceted, and everyone’s career journey is unique.
That’s why we offer flexible part-time work options designed to support a wide range of needs—whether you’re a working parent, a carer, managing your health and wellbeing, studying, pursuing passion projects, or transitioning toward retirement. Our goal is to help you thrive both personally and professionally, without compromising either.
Why we offer part-time options at Deloitte
Part-time work isn’t just a benefit; it’s our commitment to fostering inclusion, equity, and wellbeing. Over 40% of our people have caring responsibilities, with childcare being the primary reason many choose part-time roles. But the story doesn’t end there. The growing number of men working part-time, the diversity of reasons behind flexible working, and the evolving nature of careers means that part-time arrangements must be tailored to individual circumstances.
Supporting the thriving careers of our part-time workforce is a critical step towards fostering inclusion, equity, and helping our team members achieve their goals both at home and at work,
Pip Dexter Chief People and Purpose Officer

Setting you up for success with flexible work arrangements
When you join Deloitte in a part-time role, you’re supported by a dedicated coach or leader who works with you to create a flexible work plan that fits your life and career goals.

You’ll also agree on how to keep your team and clients informed about your availability, including nominating colleagues who can support urgent matters on your non-working days. Regular check-ins with your coach help to adjust your plan as needed, making sure you have the right support to succeed and grow in your role.
