Genomics England operates a blended working model as we know our people appreciate the flexibility. We expect most people to come into the office 2 times each month as a minimum. However, this will vary according to role and will be agreed with your team leader. For some people this is 1 day a quarter, for others it is several days a week. There is no expectation that staff will return to the office full time unless they want to.

The exception would be some of our roles that would require you to be on site full time e.g., lab teams, reception team.


Our teams and squads have, and will continue to, reflect on what works best for them to work together successfully and have the freedom to design working patterns to suit, beyond the minimum.

Our office locations at the moment are Cambridge and Farringdon (London) and in January 2023 we are relocating our London office location to Canary Wharf.

We will also be expanding our regional offices.

Looking ahead to our move to Canary Wharf, we will be designing our new space with blended
