Notes

Current Working Pattern:
I currently work on Nights, doing 4 nights on and 4 nights off in rotation from 8pm-7am. I have been on this rotation for 2 years and 7 months as of submitting this application. I have a lift into work and back with a colleague.

Describe the changes to your working pattern that you would like:
I would like to reduce my nights from 4 to 2 - Meaning I will work 20 hours/week and take a 50% pay cut. This is the most preferable option for me by far as it allows me to use the same methods of getting in and out of work which are time efficient and economically ideal for me.
I have been studying a Mathematics degree part time and I am now moving to complete the degree Full Time. I still need to work part time to pay my bills which at ASOS would be possible, I would be doing a distance learning degree with the Open University meaning I have complete control over my time. This means I can work the 2 nights on and it would not clash with any lectures or seminars, I would simply use my 6 days off at a time to get all my studying done. All things taken into account, this is by far the best option for me so I hope we can make this work.

Effect on the team and workload, and how you will deal with it:

Alternative arrangements:
If my first option is not at all possible, I could finish at 1/2am in the morning during the normal Night rotation. My only issue with this option is I would need to get back to Hemel Hempstead at 1 or 2 in the morning. I don't currently have a vehicle to drive into work so securing one would be necessary if this is my pattern. As it stands, this is a possible option but the logistics are not yet in place.
Another option is I could make the change to evening part time shifts as I know you have part time teams operating then. This is not my first choice because I would need to use the shuttle to get in and out and with that travel time taken into account I am truly not saving that much time compared to now and time is my biggest factor in finding part time work.

I am grateful to ASOS for the last 2.5 years of employment and wish to continue it onward while I study and hopefully after assuming an appropriate position is available for me to move onto. I look forward to discussing it with you in person.
