Just that really. Wondering whether you work for a central department and are able to wfh full-time, as a reasonable adjustment.

Well if you wanted a Cabinet Office role you'll have to be able to go into the office, but if you look at the MHRA, they are actively recruiting permanent WFH roles... So it'll depend what you want to do as to whether they see it as a reasonable adjustment.
You may be able to interview via Teams, but they will likely want to meet you in person at some point, so you need to consider whether that's practicable or not.

I would expect a WFH position would not get the London Weighting - as it is irrelevant if your workplace is in London if you aren't actually attending. Linked to this - is there a reason you specified in London? There are central government departments with other locations.
Not true actually, even full home working contracts can have London weighting, even though home is the official address you have to give yourself a main office, unlike flexibility cases you get expenses paid etc, but yes you still get London weighting if your main office is London.
Well that's true of my department anyway, I looked into it with HR, I suspect it might be something that is changed eventually, but as it stands, totally possible to WFH and get London weighting.

I've been looking at cs jobs and many work from home roles are advertising the job is located in London or another big city. Realistically does this mean mainly working from home but having to travel into one of the cities a few times a month. I'm hampshire based so not close to any of the places they advertise.

Ha. I commute 40% to London from Glasgow. Hampshire should be a doddle!
