Life after maternity leave

Returning to work after having a baby or an extended period of child care is a huge transition. Your new role as a working mum can dramatically change your views about the kind of job you want. You may need more flexible hours or the ability to work from home in order to meet your family commitments. Alternatively, you might want a role that is more fulfilling on a personal level.

Fit study around your family

Gaining a new professional qualification is a highly effective way to acquire skills necessary for a more family-friendly career, and distance learning is the ideal option for parents with limited time. Because there’s no need to attend weekly classes, you are in complete control over your study timetable. You can work when it suits you and progress at your own pace, allowing you to maintain your family life while boosting your career.
