A brilliant morning spent at the University of Reading alongside colleagues from the NHS, talking to people about finding work that actually fits around real life.
School runs. Caring for a relative. Studying. Another job. Life does not pause while you look for work, and it should not have to.
Care is one of the few sectors where flexible really does mean flexible. Mornings only, evenings, weekends, term time. If you have ever thought "I would love to do something meaningful but I just cannot commit to nine to five", we would love to talk to you.
What is the one thing that puts people off applying for a role like this? We would genuinely like to know.
