Create your own flexible work

Do seriously consider not to wait for employers to become more flexible. Just create you own flexible work. Do try any of these Creative ways of finding part-time work.

Part-time work at senior levels

Part-time jobs on offer seem to be primarily in teaching, nursing/medical and administration roles. In recent years financial roles have become more flexible as well. Salaries seem pre-dominantly under GBP 30,000 a year.

On the whole we were rather disappointed by the level and number of jobs on offer. We would love to know if we have missed a valuable resource that is of use to professionals, senior women and women leaders.

However, do not lose hope and confidence, part-time jobs are out there, in many sectors and at all levels. Check-out these: case-studies of women who found top part-time jobs from Women Like Us, recruitment agency for flexible work. They show women can get back after a long career-break, or find a job share or flexible position at a senior level.
