      Sometimes if a project is particularly busy because I have to meet a deadline I’ll work longer hours. But then when things are less busy I can take those hours off at a later date. This is called flexible working, and is becoming more common in the workplace.
      But generally speaking, STFC are very keen for staff to have a good work/life balance and encourage us to look after ourselves. Work has never stopped me from doing something I’d like to do in my personal life

      A bit. I can get quite stressed or work weird hours. I also have to go on work trips up to a week at a time so I see my partner and friends less. We all make it work though as they have their own commitments as well.
