Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what proportion of jobs listed on Universal Jobmatch are open to (a) part-time or flexible hours and (b) full-time hours.

On 26/04/2018, there were 139,590 adverts live on Universal Jobmatch. 93,123 (66.7%) of these were recorded as being for full time vacancies, and 21,235 (15.2%) were recorded as being for part-time vacancies. 25,223 (18.1%) of adverts were recorded as ‘unknown’.

This data relates to how the vacancies are advertised on UJ; it is not possible to identify jobs which are advertised as part time but available extend to full time or vice versa. It is also not possible to identify jobs with flexible working hours, as this is not recorded in Universal Jobmatch.
