Working Mums

Flexible Careers Supporting Family Life

Raising children will no doubt be one of the most rewarding things you will do in life. Those precious few months will be some of the most important to you. So why let the anxieties of going back to work spoil that? Having children often creates the opportunity to retrain and return to a new, more flexible role where you can turn your previous passions into a new career.

We work with mums – expecting, new and experienced - who are looking to get back on the career ladder. Our courses have been designed with flexibility in mind, enabling you to study at a pace that suits your busy lifestyle. The careers we offer are also specifically chosen to support flexible working, like becoming a Teaching Assistant – ensure you align your working hours to those precious to you to achieve true career happiness.

60% of mums change jobs after maternity leave

26% of mums have had flexible working requests turned down by existing employers

64% of new mums are interested in retraining

For too long mums who want to go back to real careers have felt like they have been sidelined by existing employers. If they do change jobs, it is often solely to accommodate more flexible working and not necessarily a career they are passionate about. We aim to eradicate this and create opportunities to engage in a career you are passionate about.
