Does Bupa offer hybrid working?
Yes. Many of our corporate and office-based teams work in a hybrid model, combining time working from home with time spent collaborating in a Bupa office. The specific arrangements vary depending on the team, role and business needs, but hybrid working is a common way of working across many of our support functions. Hybrid working helps employees balance flexibility with connection, creating opportunities to collaborate in person while also benefiting from focused work at home. It also supports different ways of working, recognising that some tasks are best completed independently, while others benefit from face-to-face teamwork.
Can I work from home at Bupa?
Some roles at Bupa can be performed remotely or predominantly from home. These opportunities are typically role-specific and depend on the nature of the work being performed. Remote working arrangements will usually be outlined in the job advertisement or discussed during the recruitment process. For candidates searching for work from home jobs, remote careers or hybrid opportunities, we encourage you to review individual job listings for details on the working arrangements available for that role.
Does Bupa offer flexible working hours?
Many roles across Bupa provide flexibility in when work is completed, subject to customer, team and business requirements. Flexible start and finish times, part-time arrangements and alternative work schedules may be available depending on the role. We understand that the ideal working pattern can look different for different people. Whether you're balancing school drop-offs, university study, caring responsibilities or other commitments, flexibility can take many forms throughout someone's career.
Can frontline employees work flexibly?
Absolutely, although flexibility often looks different for frontline teams than it does for office-based employees. Many of our employees work directly with customers, patients and residents in roles that need to be performed in person. This includes aged care, clinical, medical, dental, optical and retail positions. While working from home may not be possible in these roles, flexibility can still be achieved through roster arrangements, shift patterns, part-time opportunities and predictable schedules. Our employee research shows that flexibility and work-life balance are highly valued by healthcare professionals across Bupa, helping people balance personal commitments while continuing to grow their careers.
My work roster is fixed and I love it. That was one of the things that really secured me in wanting this job. I knew that I like my weekends and I also like having spare time in my day.
