Your Holidays

How do I request my holidays? •

Holidays must be requested at least 8 weeks before commencement, your holiday request must be submitted via the Careblox Portal. • In periods when requests for holiday are high they will be granted in the order in which they are received, hence some requests may be refused. • Requests for holidays must be spread out over the holiday year as much as possible. • July and August are holiday hot posts and demand during this time is high – no more than one holiday request can be made during this period. • The period 20 th December to 2 nd January is subject to special provisions and nobody will be granted requests for both the Christmas and New Year Periods and you will be expected to work your normal shift pattern for these days and we are unable to grant any holidays during this time. For some office staff and unit managers who work a Monday to Friday shift pattern some holiday requests may be granted. In some cases office staff may be required to take some of their holiday entitlement over this period.
